    Both of those solutions are unrealistic. Boxing is never going back to one belt and you know this. Sanctioning bodies don't work that way and you also know that. You're proposing radical unrealistic solutions just to benefit GGG. You want to flip the boxing world upside down just for GGG.
    the first one is unrealistic sure. don't see what is so unrealistic about the second one.
    and again why do you bring everything back to golovkin. I would have written the same if Crawford had decided to keep his belts and would have to fight undeserving mandatories in rotation.

    you are picking only selective points to reply to.
    so one question: if it would be practical to get better mandatories for unified champions by having the mandatories fight against each other. would you be for or against it?

    in the past a champion from one sanctioning body couldn't be the mandatory for another. lately kovalev became the mandatory for Stevenson (unfortunately didn't work out) and golovkin became mandatory for cotto and canelo.

    so changes are possible, only incremental, but possible.

    and again, don't care about golovkins situation, it's about a hypothetical future situation with a new dude unifying the belts. so please stop accusing me on relating everything back to defending golovkin.

        Facts are: Davis's championship achievements are on par with Golovkin.

        Real belts won in the ring: two each. Same belts (IBF/WBA) and similar calibre opponents. Geale might even be worse than Pedraza and Cuellar.

        Davis is 23, Golovkin is 36, with huge gap in experience. Davis is light years more skilled than Golovkin and more fun to watch as well. None of that stiff, robotic crap.

        There you go.
        LOL C mon homie Cuellar wasn't even a 130 pounder, hadn't fought since 2016.
        How the F was this guy even fighting for a vacant title??
        That's worse than Vanes and yet they handled him a title lol

        Davis is the most pampered, paper belt gifted fighter I ever witnessed.

        If Davis is on par with a seasoned fighter like GGG , then why he and his promotor are openly ducking an ukranian fighter who has only 10 fights. I guess dude is ready.

          And you are defending GGG's duck. The irony here.
