      And to many others: Cunningham, Lyakhovich, Preskar, etc.

          Yes.

          So now he'll fight every four months or so, instead of barely once a year with Don King.

            The pathetic thing about the whole Guillermo Jones situation is that he could easily get a fight against one of the other CW titlists and make a good payday. I just don't understand the business logic or financial sense of keeping a top fighter sidelined indefinitely.

            Also, I just went to the WBA website and clicked on the 'contact us' tab; and the top officials are listed with email addresses and phone numbers. I might give a call into their office today and ask them the thread question...

              Good idea.

              I'm going to e-mail some boxing writers and ask why they don't question why someone can keep a world title without ever defending it.

                  It's tragic because Jones could whip all those guys.

                  But he's getting old now, and King sucks ass.

                  But Jones has the power and skill to knockout all the cruisers.

                  But his next fight will be when he's 39 or 40 and some clowns will think he was a paper champ if he gets schooled after all of this inactivity.

                    Coming up on two years in September, and he still isn't even scheduled for a fight.

                      Is there any reason specifically why he doesn't get fights or is Don King just for whatever reason apathetic about doing any sensible business anymore?
