Comments Thread For: WBA Creates Tournament To Set One Champion in Organization

[original zero]

Shoulder Roll, that is exactly why people are crying and moaning.

They can make all of the excuses they want, but the truth is that they're not happy Ortiz will get the shot before Chagaev.

If the Klitschko/Fury winner hides behind the WBO belt and ducks Ortiz, people can yell "lineal" all they want, but their claim to the lineage is shaky at best.

Fury isn't going to be champ very long if he has to fight Luis Ortiz next.

Hell, if Klitschko wins the rematch I don't think he is going to keep the belts very long either if he has to fight Luis Ortiz afterwards.

i agree....why aren't more people talking about ortiz...best heavyweight i've seen in a while

PBP, do you actually disagree with what I wrote? If so, why? Fury is fighting Klitschko anyway. All the WBA has done is outline that when his mandatories are due, they'll be against the interim champion before the regular champion instead of vice versa.

This is being done because a US court won't allow Fury to fight Chagaev until after Oquendo does.

So what is it exactly that you're upset about? That Ortiz is going to be Fury's mandatory? Seems like a great fight. Why in the world would that upset you?

Bruh, all they have done is laid out a plan. I highly doubt Fury fights Ortiz because he has bigger money options available. And instead of stripping Fury and enforcing the mandatory, the WBA will probably revert back to that Super/Regular BS.

I will show respect when they actually execute a plan.
