I've always disliked arum, he's a greedy, slimy, a-hole. Margarito should NEVER be allowed to lace them up again let alone for what could potentially be his biggest ever payday.
Id still love to see him fight Brook. I also feel that a rematch vs Prescott would do solid numbers in the UK whilst also being a fascinating match-up!
Because of a rule that exists in the WBC by-laws, Lomachenko was permitted to file for an exception that allows for reigning titlists from other organizations to enter the WBC rankings and challenge for its titles.
Surely this opens the door for Joshua to challenge Wilder and the WBC have to order it should they both win their upcoming fights. They have set the precedent by ordering Campbell vs Loma
One of the biggest things real boxing fans should start pushing for is that every sanctioning body top 10 rankings reflects the true top 10 of the division, and includes the other champions. Boxing has been set up, IMO intentionally, to con the fans, by making it so none of the top 4 in any division can ever be mandated to fight each other except for rare special exception. It would be like an NFL season where the Patriots and the other top 3 teams each year can never be forced to play each other. Then what's the point of having an NFL season, or an NFL at all?
There should be normal mandatories every year to 18 months, but there should also be mandatory unifications, and its by chance you dont get to pick which one of the other titlists you unify with, if you want to keep the belt. There needs to be constant momentum in any sport for it to be interesting, in this case, always pushing towards 1 champion in every division, undisputed, by mandate if they're not willing to do it voluntarily.
I completely agree
