To be fair, he wasn't protected from himself, Universum just plays the short money card all the time. Erdei, Dzinziruk, Sturm, Kotelnik and Sidorenko always wanted the big fights but at Universum, they aren't taking risks, and Eastern European fighters have little chance finding another stable. On the other hand though, other LHWs never were too keen on fighting Erdei, there were unification negotiations with Woods, Green, Cloud, Garay and Campillo in the past, but all fell off. Erdei called out Tarver and Jones in the past, but never to get a call back. He's just not exciting and marketable enough to spend millions on him, and he's better than Kotelnik for example who was considered as a low risk for Amir Khan, therefor was sold out by Universum.

Taking on a 200 pounder in 3 weeks notice and beating him toe-to-toe despite being 18 pounds lighter is all heart. The real problem is what comes next. It wasn't a Calzagheesque win meaning he rocked the world, and I don't thin he'd be good at 200, so he'll probably go back to 175, where Brähmer is protected from Erdei himself (Zsolt was forced to vacate)and Cloud & Campillo just recently turned him down. Him vs. Dawson would be nice, and Erdei is 35, so he's about to qualify to the Chad Dawson old men's club.

Did you miss the Hopkins fight? Hopkins was ring and linear champ. That is at least as good as any other belt these days and most boxing fans would agree that its actually a lot more improtant.

No No No.
This is the third time today i've seen somebody state this. Zsolt Erdei was the linear champ at 175. Not Hopkins.
