Barboza deserves a shot, got a feeling he will get shafted again.

If these groups gaf they'd start dropping guys who opt out of making a fight from their rankings. You either wanna fight for the belt or you don't. If you don't then why rank them? I'd rather see groups rank other title holders then these guys who just take up space & never fight mandated opps.

Both want the Teo/WBO route. Neither want Matias.

LOL oh sh^t. Yea you're probably right. I didn't even realize that it was a Matias fight in play here. LMFAO this is hilarious now. They need to drop these guys from the rankings, they are playing around wasting ppl's time.

Yes just drop them out of the top ten for a minimum of one year.

Yea. I'd sign a petition & write to my congressman about doing that if it meant anything to do so.

This sh^t is getting dumb. Feels like there are as many mandated fights that don't happen as happen. There needs to be some sort of checks & balances with opting out of fights. If you don't fight your mando you lose your belt. Why don't you lose your ranking for opting out of a mandated #1 spot fight???

They absolutely should drop fighters who won’t participate in ordered fights.

I’m saddened that it appears the IBF is now starting to cater to Bob Arum’s whims with this move. For the last few years they had been the most “by the book” sanctioning body.
