Jermall Charlo v Willie Monroe Jr Nov 17?

The mandatory has been due for some time now since 2017. Voluntary defense against Vanes, voluntary defense against Alvarez, a coming voluntary defense against Lemieux, and a likely voluntary defense in the third Alvarez-Golovkin fight? Lol Correct, but if Golovkin bypasses the Charlo fight? Will be interesting to see what the WBC does then. Strip Canelo if he fights GGG or collects some major sanctioning fees and turns an eye for the money man?

Okay, so what does that have to do with him being stripped for taking a voluntary defense in December against someone like Lemieux? The mandatory has been due for some time now since 2017. Voluntary defense against Vanes, voluntary defense against Alvarez, a coming voluntary defense against Lemieux, and a likely voluntary defense in the third Alvarez-Golovkin fight? Lol

But it made no sense to strip him so soon anyways. Like they weren't going to call the mandatory before years end, let alone force him to defend vs his mandatory before years end. I think that would apply to most, not only Canelo. While it is true the Canelo sanctioning fees are great and all, I don't fault the WBC here. They did the right thing as well as ordering Charlo vs GGG. If GGG doesn't take it, then Charlo gets direct shot at Canelo. Oh, in this particular instance, I'm not complaining about WBC's shady stuff because GGG vs Charlo and the winner vs Canelo are to the benefit of the fan.

Alvarez has his voluntary (which the WBC has given him through December) and then his mandatory is next. With Golovkin already taking the rest of the year off, and deeply unlikely to fight Charlo, Alvarez will have his assumed December fight, the WBC will give him a few days, and then, likely not long after the New Year, Canelo will have a decision to make. Either fight Charlo , fight the Derevyenchenko-Jacobs or Saunders/Andrade winner, or be content to fight Golovkin a third time for the WBA/IBO/Ring magazine distinction Okay, so what does that have to do with him being stripped for taking a voluntary defense in December against someone like Lemieux?

Whether GGG fights Charlo or not is irrelevant. You were just naive to believe Canelo wouldn't get a voluntary defense in December. You thought the WBC was going to strip him three months in as the champion? No way. Alvarez has his voluntary (which the WBC has given him through December) and then his mandatory is next.

Indeed, WBC wasn't messing up their paper like that especially when Canelo has already shown in the past them that he wouldn't forced to play by their rules.

In fact, they'd probably wipe his ass for him.

Happy has got nothing to do with it. Golovkin's not going to fight Charlo (his camp has already said he's taking off the rest of the year after the second Canelo fight, and he's quite unlikely to jump into camp for an early 2019 fight with a prime guy like Charlo before then heading back into camp for the May 2019 third fight with Alvarez), and it's not likely that Alvarez chooses to fight Charlo on the May 2019 date. Rather than do things the easy way, the WBC chose a different tact Whether GGG fights Charlo or not is irrelevant. You were just naive to believe Canelo wouldn't get a voluntary defense in December.

The WBC is in a pickle, and Sulaiman has already said as much: Alvarez's next two fights already penciled in, neither fight is with Jermall Charlo, and having Charlo wait two years for his shot can't publicly hold. Saul Alvarez becoming emeritus champion (stripped of the title, but with the right to have an immediate title shot "once his injury clears up and he's ready") solves everything (Charlo gets his title shot for the vacant, Alvarez gets to fight Lemieux and Golovkin again without any issue). Otherwise, we end up with a cluster **** to start 2019 (similar to the Golovkin situation, where Golovkin made a deal with the IBF with no intention of honoring the deal, daring them to strip him, which they did) Happy now?

not the best fight in the world but it's definitely important to keep jermall in the ring and against MW. willie will show him some different looks in there and can give him the work he needs. with canelo off of HBO the opportunity for these guys to work togetehr is starting to materialize. sucks to lose an icon, but boxing WILL move on. and quickly

not a fight im excited to see but be honest who else can he fight? yall know dam well it wont be canelo in 2018. Monroe is a gatekeeper who they will throw in there for a payday.

What injury? He's ready to go in December. No way was the WBC going to strip him so soon. He is allowed to make a voluntary defense in December and then his mandatory will be called in 2019.

What final talks? Canelo isn't getting stripped if he fights someone like Lemieux in December. Mauricio Sulaiman already confirmed that today.

Let's wait until the final talks are done before gloating. What final talks? Canelo isn't getting stripped if he fights someone like Lemieux in December. Mauricio Sulaiman already confirmed that today.

You were saying? Let's wait until the final talks are done before gloating.

September 30th You were saying?

September 30th September 30 what?

Nice try with what? Do you really think the WBC will order the fight before the end of the year? You are crazy. They may not even call the purse bid before the year. And this is Canelo. Good luck having any of his fight go to a purse bid. So yeah, nice try in thinking the WBC will call for this fight ASAP and Charlo shouldn't fight in the meantime. September 30th
