    Hey, you've got me wrong. I think Erdei is great, but he has only fought in his own territory. Veit wasn't **** really other than a good victory on the resume. I think Zsolt is pretty-damn-good.

    i have also heard about this before and some say that in certain fights that he was forced to fight, he just didnt want to be there...


    if this whole contract thing is true, i hope he frees himself from it and we can see him against the best...

    i just hope his prime has not passed by,

    i just have to say in the first couple rounds against fragomei, the skill he was showing was amazing

    Erdei has been dropped by Universum. He is negotiation with Sauerland! :happy

    Erdei is good he is like Calzaghe just does not get the opponents but kills the guys he faces for the most part.

    i wanna say he is a poor fighter that happens to be undefeated ala ottke but he is actually fairly talented and knows how to box.

    pisssssssss poor competition. the interview they had with him sounded like he was very content to retire undefeated and stay lineal light heavy. very sad case of lack of drive. he could of made it big/made more money than fighting on the wba circuit. even worse is that he isnt mismanaged he is managd well they just prefer to have him fight bums regurly in home terra.

    true in a way difference was that calzaghe got shafted a couple of times by warren and was slef manged for a while, also he and only got real mainstream exposure after lacy, and in that it was great performance which he built on (old hopkins and old jones i know but still he did get a win over them before he retired)

    Erdei is as good as the opponents he faced. He never beat an excellent fighter IMO and is one of the biggest record padders in the sport. I dont see how anyone could say he was a great fighter. If so based on what and which fight. He was lineal and he dam sure protected that status by fighting a number of stiffs.

    question have you actually seen him box??? and do you only fellow boxing in usa? because in his fight he won a belt at a higher weightclass against a good fighter....




    another person did mention his lack of drive, and wanting to stay undefeated by not fighting good guys.... i heard this before but also heard that he really fighting to get out of contract so he fight the best

    I think he may jump to top 300 easily if he beats Dawson

    Zsolt Erdie is probably one of the worst cherry-picking protective fighters in LHW history. And Dawson smokes him, easily.

    I've seen him box, he's nothing special, just a good boxer, I would say B-level.
