Not everyone wants to enter it LMAO, this clown is part of this system, of course not everybody wants to enter it!!! u have to force them!! thats the whole point, omg

u clearly show who is the top guy, whatever way is agreed on & stop all this nonsense, people will always have excuses not to do things, they will wait until a tough opponent ages or loses for or is beaten, they will avoid other styles etc or will just say the money is not right etc, ok if thats the case u are not the top guy then, someone else can be until u are ready, u are a contender until that time

thanks for the articles tho, interesting stuff

No doubt! Mendoza makes the rules, but he's all about that cash though! I was very upset the WBC came up with those "Franchise" titles too! No Bueno!

Lyle, you don't need any historical support from your senior colleagues. Your writing is pretty good. Express yourself and don't be boring. Write opinion articles too.

For me tho, your opening sentence is enough, Gervonta is bad. Nobody can convince me anyone is better between 130 and 140.

The ones to convince you are the elite fighters if they beat Davis but as he's being protected from them I guess you shall remain unconvinced.

since i started watching boxing people have always said, oh the green belt, oh the wbc champ is boxing elite, wbc are almost as bad as wba, almost but getting there, they are just hopeless overall, if people have their way we will soon have the ibo as a major belt too, its just endless crap, turkeys dont vote for xmas & thats what boxing is about, feather your nest & work the system

Screw the belts. I didn't read most of this post. Let Lyle do what he wants. You can't argue with someone about belts if they don't give a crap. Holding 4 bogus belts is actually bad for your pockets. If Davis wants Taylor's belts, fight can be made for September. They don't mean nothing. That's why Ellerbe said Taylor brings nothing to the table. He doesn't.

I'd love to see Davis kick that ass for no belts.

It's not really about the belts, it's beating the legitimate top guys. Taylor did it. It's a sport, and Taylor beat the top guys. Same as Lopez. Davis? He wins the popularity contest. Floyd made it clear that Davis will not fight any of the top fighters because of promotional issues. Imagine if the Cubs could avoid playing any team that could beat them. World Series Champions every year. That's Davis.

Do the Cubs play the Yomiori Giants? No? Why? Different league…..

Hold up! Mayweather had complained there’s too many belts and that anybody now can be a champion and that there should only be one belt per division. So why all of a sudden he’s ok with Davis fighting for a regular belt? It’s hypocrisy that’s what it is.

So Davis is in the Junior Varsity league. That's what the "regular" belt is. Got it. I Like watching Davis, I just wish he would step it up.

If that works for you then I have no problem with it. No matter the degree of/or perception, separation is not incidental in these matters….

It does work for me. It's a sport. If you don't beat the top guy, you are not the top guy. If you have no intention of fighting the top guy, you will never be the top guy. "My guy would beat your guy if they ever fought" doesn't really work here. Eyeball test doesn't work here. Fights are won in the ring.
