Comments Thread For: Mayweather's Mandatory Set Down With Tournaments

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Mirage Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas - The World Boxing Council has approved a tournament style eliminator, at welterweight and junior middleweight, to set mandatory challengers to WBC 147 and 154 champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26KOs).

The proposal, which the WBC approved, is to have the top eight challengers - at 147 and 154 - to face each other in a tournament format until one man, in each division, to challenger for Mayweather's title.

Like it. Make it happen.

Let me get this straight: they would force the likes of Khan or Canelo to participate in tournaments until Floyd fights Pac next year?

Damn I can't wait to read the opinions and predictions of the top 8 at 147 and 154.........i can't make a list right now but Danny Garcia being the 140 WBC King is definitely gonna be on that list........we'll see who the real killa at 147 is after the dust settles.......I predict Swift

I like this new WBC with mandatory unifications and tournaments.

Nice idea but by the end of it they will be fighting for vacant belts not Floyd

True but we will find out who the king of WW and JMW are.

Let them beat the crap out of each other while Mayweather rest and fights a shop worn fighter. This how Ward won when he got a bye and fought the simple opponent . While the rest beat the crap out of each other and where all beaten up by the time they got to the final bout. This is like having to Pit bulls kill each other in a dog fight while the winner fights the fresh rested dog

dumb!!

so it's basically giving Mayweather a pass to fight someone good now? Till we get a winner.. which will probably still be picked by Vegas' judges..

Not buying this.. all BS..

Make May and Pac (@147) #1 and #2... then #3-#8.. with hopes Money and Pac meet at the end.. and forcing both to fight legitimate contenders..

Floydies will love this.. their idol doesn't have to fight anyone ranked in the top 8.. cause they have "foney" tourney obligations..

All the silly posts aside ... Tournaments are the way to go with or without Floyd\Manny in the picture.
