    How can the number 2 and 6 ranked fighters fight for a vacant title ?

    Surely the title should stay vacant until 1 and 2 fight ?

    #1 is the immediate mandatory. #3 is fighting for the WBA title. #4 is coming off a loss. #5 should be coming off a loss.

    Each of the top 7 are with Haymon so it's no big deal really.

      as long as they all mix it up I dont mind. all roads lead to the same goal (in a perfect sport).

      Now will the top fight the best or will the best fight the lower hanging fruit cause its easier and keep doing what they been doing? and thats what I dont like.

        Well Garcia-Khan 2 needs to be next. Either that or Khan-Brook and Garcia-Thurman/Porter winner. If they fight low hanging fruit instead, then flame away.

          Yup, thats the way I look at it. we shall see. The great real fights are their to be made and easy can be made (haymon banner all of them, minus brook but they sipping from that juice too so...) so lets see what later year brings.

            So if Danny has to fight the no1 next anyway why give him the belt for this Fight ?

            Why not just keep it vacant and award it to the winner of Garcia v Khan ?

            It just cheapens it giving out to any half decent fight.

              And if they are going to keep the belt vacant for so long, what would be the point of stripping Floyd in the first place? Next issue is Garcia already beat Khan, and by TKO in just a few rounds, although in a lower division.

                  It won't matter who holds these titles in one year. Errol Spence will destroy all of them and he's sitting pretty good at #2 IBF, #10 WBA, #9 WBC, and #13 WBO.
