Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Stripped Of IBF Belt; Jaron Ennis Elevated To Full Titlist

You have examples of “live bodies” in mind?

I mean, I'm not picky. Villa was a good win. Just want him to be more active, take on all comers, unify with the other soon-to-be email titlists like Stanionis, who sounds like he's up for the smoke. He's skilled and fun to watch and can reignite the division if he's willing to be active. I'm hoping more guys will be willing to fight him now that he's got the full title.

Probably Crowley would be the most likely.

How do you win a title out of nowhere?

Because there's too many of them?

Have noticed IBF is faster than all sanctioning organizations in stripping titles if they don't
get their cashish fix fast enough to suit their liking. Don't expect them to wait forever, but
the Crawford/Spence rematch is way more important than whatever IBF demands.

I'm sure NSB could create a laundry list of examples where sanctioning bodies have acted questionably. I'm surprised we don't have a pinned thread to track all of the behavior.

This is why we need proper boxing journalism rather than morons with YouTube channels chasing "engagement". Holding the sanctioning bodies to account should be a priority and if done properly could lead to their downfall. They are ultimately private businesses working in their own interests, not boxing's.

Not a fan of just giving the belt away. It devalues earning belt even more, now in an atmosphere that money > belt

These rematch clauses are killing boxing .After a total beat down in every department Spence is obviously Taylor made for Bud and looks to have virtually no chance . These ridiculous rematch causes are nothing but a money rip off , rematches should be earned in the ring.

Isn't that what Spence is doing ?

[JakeTheBoxer]

It is good for boxing. If Crawford wants to be undisputed again, he must beat Ennis.

Ennis is actually the fight I want him to take.

Ennis v Essuman on the Fury-Usyk card?

Fury fought Del Bum 3x
I'm sure boxing didn't need 8 SRR vs Jake

Then again, there can be glory in revenge matches -
AJ vs Ruiz
Lennox vs Rahman and McCall

Spence was better than that
However, if a beating was so one sided, the rematch should be pushed back 1 fight.

I don't mind mind stripping the champ if they can't fulfill their mandatory obligations, its only right....

But i think the title should be fought for by the next two highest ranked in the division, instead of just placing it on someone else.

A title should be won in the ring, even if its vacant before the fight. Surely a fighter would prefer that too?

Doing it this way basically strips them of the feeling of winning their first world title.
