Originally posted by AvoidDisaster View PostI mean damn if Canelo didn't want to face his mandatory he would get stripped as well.
Originally posted by AvoidDisaster View PostAlso I'm pretty sure Canelo faced his mandatory right after he won it, Ward hasn't. Rhodes did the samething as Dirrell. Rhodes fought one eliminator and got a title shot. And I'm also pretty sure Rhodes isn't with Haymon or Golden Boy.

If that was true he would be stripped already and we wouldn't be going through this nonsense.
Rhodes had to wait 2 years to get his shot. And, had been past over by the likes of Pac, Margarito, Canelo, and Hatton. 2 Mexicans, one money maker, and the other one for an easy fight for a Mexican. Yea...
But the point is Rhodes got his shot though and he didn't capatilize on it. That's not Canelo's fault.

Originally posted by AvoidDisaster View PostBut why would Canelo get stripped though? What mandatory has he avoided? He faced his mandatory in Rhodes, right? That means Canelo can do as many optional defenses until June 18. After that date if Canelo doesn't face his mandatory, hey man, you get no arguments from me, and he deserves to be stripped and hated on...
But the point is Rhodes got his shot though and he didn't capatilize on it. That's not Canelo's fault.
Vanes been his mandatory. He's the silver champ. But, the WBC don't to force it cuz' they rather jerk Vanes, Angulo, and Kirkland around to actually force Canelo hand.

If you look at their rankings they have zero interim champs in any of their divisions. Which is quite odd if they do have an interim title. However, they have numerous silver champ. Aydin who's the silver champ basically interim is fighting Guerrero and it might be for the full WBC champ if Floyd decides to stay at 154.

Vanes vs Lara would be a great fight. I think it'd be closer than a lot of people think. Lara is coming off a big KO but lets be real. Paul Williams is a shot fighter and KOing a Hearns doesn't mean much, Harry Joe Yorgy has been there and done that.
personally I'd like to see Lara give Molina a rematch. Lara is the flavor of the month and I guess that's why people have all of the sudden forgetten that fight.

From what I remember reading from Sulaiman, Silver belts were created just to make fights super duper extra special and to open opportunities to eventually fight for the full title fights. Nothing about being the mandatory though. If you look at the WBC rankings, the #1 contender is rarely the silver champion. Although in this case, Vanes does seem to be #1 (God knows why).
There was an article where Sulaiman said they might replace the interim belt with the the Silver belt, but the WBC didn't go through with it seeing how the Guerrero fight will be for the interim belt. De La Hoya also recently said the interim belt might be on the line Sotov vs Matthyse because Garcia is injured.Last edited by DoktorSleepless; 04-24-2012, 12:47 AM.
