The Philadelphia star, who turned 29 on Friday, endured some adversity against a spirited Zayas showing after a blistering start yet remains unsatisfied in his pursuit of greatness and top billing on the pound-for-pound lists.

Unsuccessful in efforts to collect all the belts at 147 pounds before moving up in weight last summer, "Boots" hopes history doesn't repeat itself in a stacked junior middleweight division where bigger fights await.

WBC interim beltholder Vergil Ortiz (24-0, 22 KOs) had plenty to say on social media, IBF titleholder Josh Kelly (18-1-1, 9 KOs) is said to be a future option with both under the same promotional stable while WBC champion Sebastian Fundora (24-1-1, 16 KOs) is enjoying career-best form and believes he's peerless at 154 pounds.

Should he continue to hunt down unifications or return to the negotiating table with Golden Boy-backed Ortiz armed with more leverage? Who do you want him to see face next? Sound off in the comments below!
