How tf is vito top 5??? ... The rest though pose a problem to Xander.. hope it's any of those other fighters he gets in with next

[beast702]

He definitely has good boxing skills and has alot of potential. Im excited to see how he does against top competition.

It's about time, that we get to see if Xander can swim with the sharks of the division.
As far as the power outage goes, Sosa's never been ko'd, and Teixeira's only been ko'd once in 39 fight's.
Something tell's me that we're going to get a better idea as to how good Xander is in that next fight if it's against a top 5 contender!

Call me crazy, but i'd like to see Xander vs. KingRy! That would be better than Canelo vs. Berlanga!

You said to call you crazy. Crazy! Ryan Garcia needs to be banned from boxing for life, get all of the cheat's out of boxing.

Puerto Rican junior middleweight Xander Zayas is targeting a top-five opponent after a dominant unanimous decision win over Damian Sosa on Friday at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

They all say this and never do it or say so and so priced himself out. He is not ready for the top 5 and his corporate handlers wont let him. Too much money too risk.

"Needs to be..." but he won't! That being the case, I think it would be a HUGE fight, and "should" be a winnable fight for Xander!

Zayas vs Lubin or La Bala Mendoza to see where he’s at?

Ryan needs to be banned for life, but you're probably right, and the demented Ryan won't be banned.
The problem with that is who ever fights Ryan has two foreseeable problems, 1 he probably won't make weight, and 2 he'll probably will be on PED's.
That said I do believe that Xander can use Ryan's reckless agression against him, by staying cool during the fight, making him miss, and then making him pay!

I don't think he would be crazy enough to take PEDs, and he shouldn't need PEDs to make 154! He called out Fundora, which won't happen, so I'd like to see Xander Zayas call him out!!!

What's next for boxer Ryan Garcia? Tantalizing options exist after win over Devin Haney

Ryan Garcia would fight 6-foot-6 boxer?

During Garcia’s post-fight press conference, the first potential opponent he named was Sebastian Fundora, who’s 6-6, fights at 154 pounds and has a record of 21-1 with 13 KO’s.

Visually, it’d be a fun matchup – Garcia fighting a boxer nine inches taller than he is. And how electric would Garcia’s signature left hook be if he’s throwing it at 154 pounds? A chance to find out alone makes the thought of this fight enticing.

"I had a vision to fight Fundora at 154," Garcia said. "… I know it’s really random. I just feel like I could get the title at 154. I’ve got guys that big before and I’ve knocked them out. I want to do it."

Fundora, 26, holds the WBC and WBO light middleweight titles.
