While Calzaghe looks set to have his title stripped because he hasn't fought the mandatory in the 6 months since he won it why has the WBC not stripped Floyd Mayweather of his title since he hasn't fought his mandatory?

[Silencers]

The WBC counted the Hatton fight as a mandatory defense.

The WBC counted the Hatton fight as a mandatory defense.

Which is fair enough, actually, since the fight was at welterweight.

Yea it should, If Calzaghe defended the WBC belt against Kelly Pavlik you wouldnt hear any complaints..

I think it's fair as well, although I think they should strip him before the DLH fight or have an interim champion at 147 since he isn't going to defend it in the foreseeable future.

[MANGLER]

All of PBF's titles but 1 IBF belt have been WBC titles. Those crooked bastards love him.

It wouldnt matter, if floyd constantly chased the IBF/WBA/WBO they would all love him just the same, especially the WBO, they would make him superchamp and hed never defend ever again.

[The Hammer]

How did Hatton become WBC mandatory without fighting at 147? His two previous fights were at 140. He never held a WBC belt. It was 13 months after Floyd won the title he fought Hatton anyway.

I remember Hatton was stripped of the IBF title he just won fighting Urango, for fighting Castillo instead of N'Dou.
Different rules for certain people...

Mayweather has never faced a real mandatory since he won the title from Baldomir in Nov 2006. He receives special treatment from the WBC for some reason.

I think he settled for a lesser amount or an installment plan to keep from bankrupting them didn't he?
