Originally posted by richardt View PostDavis and Magdaleno fight absolute nobodies and get to pass up contenders who earned the shot and have been waiting longer. Not right.Originally posted by richardt View PostI have no problem with a fighter who has fought tons of top fighters in a lower weight class getting a shot at a higher weight class because the fighter already has fought top names. Floyd got his original shot at a title at 154 with 0 fights. Leonard did against Kalule, and many others. It is a fighter not having fought any top fighters to get a title shot that chaps my a$$.
Who a fighter defeated coming up should have NO bearing on getting a fight at 154.
The situation with Manny and Margs is FAR worse than this as they not only passed over more worthy contenders to fight for a vacant title, Arum got Margs ranked at the top when he had 1 win at the weight and defeated no contenders either.
