Timothy Bradley Given an Ultimatum By The WBC

[Miburo]

Isn't Kelly Pavlik defending both his WBC and WBO belts against Sergio Mora in June? Hasn't Pavlik been beltholder of both WBC and WBO since Sept 2007 (Pavlik-Taylor I)? Didn't Pavlik defend both belts against Taylor (rematch), Locket and Rubio?

Correct, it can't be a problem with the WBO any longer. Usually the IBF is the most belligerent about unification, they will strip a fighter at the slightest provocation, but the MW WBC and WBO titles have been unified for many years (since Hopkins-DLH).

Sulaiman and company didn't seem to raise their hackles over any of these past Pavlik fights and appear impervious about any possible violation of their unification "rules" on the forthcoming Mora meeting.

you're right. i guess they're now picking and choosing who they strip now based on the fighter and how much potential cash they can bring in.

actually i think you just answered why Hopkins wasn't stripped. He won his WBO from Oscar didn't he? They probably figured Hopkins was going to be the new money man. lol

This is complete bull****. Suliaman is full of it. Bradley should just abandon the damn title, all organizations are a joke.

[Down4TheCount]

The second Taylor/Pavlik fight was a non title fight.

It just comes to me as utterly ridiculous that Sulaiman and his cohorts should raise an issue against the Bradley unification which is merely days old while not touching Pavlik's belts that are put on the line in about a couple of months. And that's after those Middlewieght belts have been repeatedly put on the line for several years now, with narry a squeak from the WBC.

Yes,. I stand corrected. It was fought in excess of the Middleweight limit.

The best fighting the best and they ***** about organizations losing all authority.

It's a good thing these clowns lose all authority.


A great thing for us.

Once again Don Jose shows why he is and always has been a complete and total A*s H*t. Way to continue to destroy the sport Don Jose. You are unwanted and unneeded. Get lost.
