The WBC Emeritus Champion Rule is Great

[pfcwintergreen]

yeah he did
only 8 or 9 fighters have the emeritus status is a distinguished award for guys who proven their quality time and time again
and great former champions are usually very busy people guys like vitali who was campaigning in an election morales who is in charge of the sport in tijuana and when pac retires u can make sure he will enter politics they dont have time for a tune up
if it wasnt for that rule peter would be fighting tony thompson and the rest of the mediocre americans hw

Being a "busy" man doesn't make you the #1 contender if you aren't busy boxing. And if you are given an immediate title shot after 4 years out of the sport...why not 8 years? Why not 10? Explain your reasoning.

Regarding Tony Thompson and mediocre contenders; all Vitali would have to do is blow one or two of them away and he'd immediately have earned the right to face Peter. More importantly, he would have given other contenders a chance to beat VITALI and pursue the belt...which is only fair. You can laugh all you want about the prospect of thompson et al beating Vitali; the point is, They've been fighting, and Vitali has not. There should be some respect for people who've been struggling to the top while Vitali's been off politiking.
