Mayweather hasn't defended his 154 pound title since he defeated Canelo Alvarez in 2013.

Wrong. He defended it against Maidana, even though it was a 147 bout.

I have little respect for the ABC organisations.

Their inability to be consistant, and unwillingness to recognise other champions, makes it impossible to take them seriously.

But this is obviously the right decision.

1) It was crucial that everything that could possibly be viewed as an impediment be removed from in/around the Pacquiao negotiations

Bob Arum is fantastic at lying and making excuses, he did not need anymore ammunition.

2) Mayweather is clearly the best JMW on the planet

3) He is about to retire

Wrong. He defended it against Maidana, even though it was a 147 bout.

Well spotted !

But it shouldnt really be counted

Canelo was the last JMW he fought.

Wrong. He defended it against Maidana, even though it was a 147 bout.

Of course... And we found out this after the fight...

[Nightfall]

mayweather pays the WBC fees.

[Bigg Rigg]

He really shouldnt have any titles at 154 anymore. What's the point?? He's not defending them.

[daggum]

i hope they don't strip berto after he wins

[TOBYLEE1]

If it was anybody else he would gotten stripped.

He is the cash cow of the sport so the WBC is in no rush of stripping him. A really trustworthy organization that is fair and impartial

[bojangles1987]

Why wait? Mayweather isn't going to fight at 154 again. Do it now so someone else can win that belt.
