Comments Thread For: WBC Prez: There is No Hurry To Find Mandatory Contender For Tyson Fury

[factsarenice]

I doubt it the father used to rule in favor for anything King wanted with the rankings. His son has just changed with times and now is trying to make money off of celebrity boxing type matches.

He created a bs belt for Fury vs Paul and now is doing the same thing for Fury vs Ngannou.

Spot on. The sanctioning bodies and their fake mandatory lists, fake belts and broken rules are cannibalizing the sport.

I remember the days when being mandatory actually meant something

Absolutly..... they ripped Rid**** Bowe apart for avoided Lennox Lewis....Right or wrong, it killed Bowes career

Politricks suck. Badges!?!? lol, we don't need no stinkin' badges!!!

So they've effectively just turned their championship belt into a "Franchise" belt.

Championship belts come with obligations. Off the top of my head you're supposed to defend every 6 months against top 10 or 15 contenders and face a mandatory every 12 months.

Suleiman now says it would do a disservice to the sport if they actually followed their own rules.

This means Fury has zero obligations now. And we know what he'll do when he doesn't have any obligations - he'll do whatever he wants.

None of these ABC guys are doing a service for boxing &/or boxing fans, but its impossible to argue Sulaiman isn't the champion of fookery in boxing.

Maruricio Sulaiman doesn't care about best or P4P or championships. Mauricio positioned the WBC belt to appeal to highest earners like Canelo and Fury, and as long as they pay they can do whatever they choose without consequence. The fees are massive but still a bargain compared to the fees Usyk pays to the other three sanctioning bodies.

Cool,if that's the case, the wbc belt shouldn't be treated as a legitimate belt,and Usyk is the undisputed heavyweight champ.

us boxing fans are powerless as long as casuals keep buying these circus sideshows. It's up to boxers, former boxers and boxing writers to call out this bull****.

[KrusherStan]

Fighting MMA fighters is a disservice to the sport, not forcing mandatory obligations. Sulaiman f*cling clown

[ShoulderRoll]

Deontay Wilder and Andy Ruiz were supposed to fight to determine the #1 challenger to Fury.

They weren’t interested. If they themselves don’t want it then the WBC is right to not push a mando at this time, to leave Fury available for a possible Usyk unification.

WBC is trash.

Their 160 champ has been inactive for 2 years.
Their 168 champ is fighting 154 guy.
Their hw champ is fighting UFC guy.

They are garbage.
