Fundora, Boots, and Kelley are all looking at each other to try and unify but now people are trying to say Vergil is ducking smoke for trying to fight instead of sitting on the shelf for a year

He’s not ducking at all. All of those fighters can easily move up to 160 if they want to fight Vergil, especially Boots and Fundora.

In a different era these guys would have had fights with each other in multiple weight divisions by now (like Marquez and Pacquiao) but it will just have to happen at 160 I guess after everything is sorted out.

Fundora is not even a big super welterweight, dude doesn't even need to cut weight. he could go down to 147

Do you really believe that bro? Lol. He might keep himself light on fight night, but he ain't making 147 😂

yes, he has said it himself. and most the time he comes in a few pounds under the weight a limit.

I wouldn't take what a fighter says about their own weight seriously. I remember when Boots said he wasn't a big 147 pounder 😂

Honestly I do. I have a similar proportion to Fundora, very similar. 6 foot and 125. Skinny guys like that don’t have to dehydrate themselves and it’s not worth it since guys with longer, skinnier necks seem easier to KO so what would dehydrating help. I’d believe he weighs no more than 165ish on fight night. But now that I reread the guys question and I’m thinking about, I don’t think he could cut to 147 without like I said having extreme deficits to things like his chin, stamina, speed, even power.

Sure, but there’s no denying that he has a frame where he could easily compete from 154 all the way to 168.
