Why is the WBC wrong for enforcing a mandatory on GGG?

[SUBZER0ED]

I don't have a problem with Golovkin fighting Charlo next. In fact, I'd love to see it. It'd be interesting to see what GGG's critics would say on the outcome. If he fights Charlo and loses, of course, the haters would say that they knew he was a hype job all along. But if Golovkin should win, I wonder if they'll say that Jarmall is a hype job or wasn't ready because he hasn't fought for very long @ MW. Or, would they finally give Golovkin some props?

To face a guy like Derevyanchenko on 3 weeks preparation for very short money would have been ****** on GGG's part. Blame Canelo, not GGG.

The guy has 12 fights. he's green and should be easy work for GGG.

so it's ok for Vanes to face golovkin on 2 weeks notice but lil g can't prepare for Derev?

oh well. the Vanes fight was a massive waste because now the IBF is breathing fire down his neck.

Jacobs and Alvarez had no problems going the distance...

They both ran

[Gigantes]

There seemed to be no problem when they did it with Canelo for GGG..All the other mando's GGG had to fight were fine with his fans..So why is Charlo an issue?

yo gary where's that link that wilder has 50 mil

Is that an admission that you don't really know much about his mandatory?

I've seen two of his fights and don't think he beats GGG. but that's not the point. point is he got ducked and now lil g is getting stripped.

I suggest you look him up and scope out his amateur career as well. And how in your mind did GGG duck him when he had a fight with Canelo scheduled? It wasn't his fault that fight fell through. And while I think GGG beats him as well, to risk a fighter like that when you had been training for a totally different guy like Canelo would have been ******. Now that that's out of the way.....what's with the lil g thing?

Vanes was ranked #1 at 154 in the WBC, so refuse to approve him for a voluntary defense at 160 would have been tough to justify.

Vanes wasn't ranked by the IBF in any division, which made it tougher for them to approve him as an opponent.

damn, I didn’t know that Vanes was still ranked so high by the WBC.

Vanes had a decent ranking with the WBC and over time most of the fighters in front of him lost or left to fight for other organizations. So by being inactive, Vanes eventually had risen to the point where he was one of the highest ranked fighters willing to fight an eliminator.

After the eliminator was set, purse bid conducted, etc, his opponent dropped out. Often in those situations, the fighter who agreed to the purse bid and didn't drop out will jump to the top of the rankings to replace the fighter who refused to honor the purse bid.
