Champs who havent had a mandatory defense in a while?

[Crazylegs77]

List fighters who havent had a mandatory in a while but still hold their belt.

It seems like some fighters arent required to defend their titles vs mandatory challengers as often as others.

Kelly Pavlik hasn't fought since the late 90's

Guillermo Jones hasn't fought since he won the WBA title nearly a year ago.

Daniel Santos i believe. But apparently he is rumoured to fight Yuri Foreman soon!

I really think this is a good question.
A lot of Champs are Vacating instead of defending, and that is a big problem in this sport, because before you used to EARN your spot and get a shot at the title.... now if you ain't someone the champ ain't trying to fight you. They should do it like the old timers did it and line 'em up and knock 'em down.

Exactly, too much ducking and excuses nowadays. What happened to the good old "i'll fight anyone anywhere" approach.

You know what happened, guys like "Money Mayweather" who says "If it don't make dollars it don't make sense". It's chumps like him that have ruined the sport! Mayrunner is not a real fighter never was and never will be! Wilfredo Gomez, Big George, The "Real" Sugar Ray - Robinson, The Raging Bull, those were fighters who never ducked anyone, regardless of the purse!
