Got a title shot and came up short under Top Rank, got two title shots with Haymon and again came up short both times, wanted another title shot that Haymon couldn't deliver straight away, and then chose to sign to Don King because King told him that he could deliver the title shot.
Two years of sitting around, King finally has Vanes on the cusp of a title shot, but he's not set to have to go through a young, peaking fighter with ability who's been kept active the whole time Vanes was resting (to line up a fourth title shot, against Jermell Charlo, a fighter he's still likely not good enough to beat).
Would be funny if it weren't so sad
