Is there an excuse for not willing to fight someone with a pulse outside of Amir Khan? The King of mandatories has been champion for over a year and half and his three fights stand at: Dan, Gavin and Bizier.
1) Dan is excusable cuz he is again a mandatory, first defense and he was coming off surviving that attack in Tenerife.
2) Gavin was his voluntary defense. So, of all the talent pool at WW available to a World Champion, Frankie Gavin was his voluntary defense.
3) Bizier, so apparently Brook was injured sparring for Chaves so he couldnt fight him in 2015, so the next best thing would be to post pone it instead they outright cancelled it. This is after getting Chaves to pull out of a final eliminator vs Bizier and offer him a direct voluntary shot at Kell's title, Chaves was royally shafted.
The plan was to get the mandatory out of the way and beg Khan for that big payday they have been for last 6 yrs. So, while Bizier was a mandatory they could've went through with Chaves and it wouldn't look so horrendous as this.
Edit: He won the belt against an elite fighter in Shawn Porter, but that was almost 2 yrs ago. Now does that mean he can continue to defend it against the Gavins of the World for years to come, does it still mean he is a true champion cuz the guy he beat was legit?
