Timothy Bradley Given an Ultimatum By The WBC

[xAUGUSTUSx]

This BS! The WBC,WBO,IBF,WBA all BS they're just out there to **** the fighters over. Why can't he keep both belts and have the option to defend them both? What was the point of fighting to unify?

[El Chicano]

This is straight up bull****. Every fighter should now say "fuck the WBC" and drop their green piece of **** belt.

[$partacus]

Titles are almost worthless now anyway (apart from the ring) the only thing they bring is ****** mandatory fights. The fans know who are the top boxers in each division and you don't need a belt to prove it.

why cant he keep both belts.... he clearly earned them both... watta load of ****... shame on the wbc...

[Dave Rado]

maybe it's an isolated incident, but the WBC could have very well stripped Forrest for taking so long to fulfill his mandatory, but they haven't. Then again Vernon isn't a unified belt holder, so the situations are different.

Couldn't be more different. Bradley isn't refusing to fight a mandatory, it's simply that the WBC say they will not allow any of their title holders to hold onto another organisation's belt any more. Which is disgusting.

I second Teddy Atlas in the need for a national commission to oversee rules and regulations.

A national commission to oversee a world sport?

[Dave Rado]

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?

I don't recall Sulaiman and company ever raising their hackles over any of these past Pavlik fights and they appear impervious about any possible violation of their unification "rules" on the forthcoming Mora meeting.

Good point. It's a shame the interviewer didn't raise that with him.

You have got to be kidding me. They have a unification bout and then strip him? What was the point of the unification?

How do these guys look themselves in the mirror?

WBC=World's Biggest Crap

[Xyei]

Ultimatum = fight bums that we tell you to fight and forfeit your other belts or else.

What a fucking crock of ****. Unification should be encouraged not discouraged.
