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

[Real King Kong]

Definitely agree there. With more coming from welter and superwelter, like Hurd, Spence, Jermell, maybe Lara, Lubin, and more.

GGG should start cleaning house in the division soon or step aside and let these guys figure it out. The current drama with Canelo isn't cool, either. People are tired of it all. Move on already and make the fights that really matter.

He's not gonna give up the Canelo fight...he'll make the as much as he would fighting 4-5 of those other guys. I don't blame him one bit either, his career is almost a wrap. As much as I'd like to believe ggg would try to clean out the division, I don't see it happening at this point. Time for some of these other guys to face each other and put their stamp on the division going forward.

Yeah, then GGG should vacate all the belts, so these guys can do that. Don't hold the division hostage with this Canelo BS.

He'd probably drop the belts to get the Canelo fight at this point. The problem is, the sanctioning bodies grant exemptions too easily. If he can get by Canelo and then goes on to unify with bjs, these guys will be forced to wait even longer. They should really be fighting other good opponents in the meantime. I understand why a mandatory challenger wouldn't want to risk their position, but I just want to see good fights.

I think both Jacobs and Lemieux hit harder than Charlo.

Jacobs slapped and moved. Didnt sit down on punches much

And lemiux didnt land and generates power when hes on front foot

Charlo has sharp quick power . Will be interesting

All of a sudden mandatories are important.
Name one poster who is against WBC enforcing the Charlo mando for GGG.

[Citizen Koba]

GGG vs Canelo I was a voluntary. GGG vs Canelo II is a mandatory.

WBC can modify the purse split. They could issue an order to give Canelo 50% instead of 30%. But he won't accept 50%, so it's pointless.

Are you sure it's still a mandatory though? If it was surely they'd be talking about stripping Golovkin if he doesn't fight Canelo, not making him fight Charlo... I honestly don't know, but I'm wondering if Canelo lost his mandatory position when he failed his drug tests - or possibly when he was suspended by the NSAC (though I can't see why decisions of the NSAC would have a bearing on the WBCs position on this matter). Like I say, I'm just interested in getting to the bottom of this situation.

Ultimately it's gonna be down to the WBC and IBF to hash this one out, but it looks to me that the WBC have handled this whole situation rather ineptly - or perhaps with deliberate partiality.

there are 365 days in a year, 366 on leap years. If fighters fought more than twice a year, it shouldn't be a problem. I mean, it's their JOB right? But this is a new era of boxing in which staying "active" is 2 fights a year. Don't blame the sanctioning bodies now.

You kind of missed the point of the post.. LOL

I'm pointing out if he fights one if these guys as it stands now the other sanctioning body will strip him. Since you brought up the sanctioning bodies. There are 4-5 months till a potential rematch. He fought once in May, two more mandos then Canelo that would be 4 fights prior to this December He didn't fight at all prior to May for obvious reasons. So there isn't 365 days in this year for Golovkin. His window is 5 months.

Yes I'm sure. I talked to Sulaiman today.

Canelo isn't willing to fight under the percentage he'd receive in a purse bid. So if GGG doesn't cave, Canelo will lose his mandatory position and Charlo will be the mandatory.

[BO$$NELO]

if he fights saunders does he get stripped? there is pressure from all sides thats why comparing it to canelo who only had pressure from ggg is very myopic. difference is im sure ggg will fight one of them and not amir khan or liam smith lol

Or Vanes??? Or Kell Brook?? Keep hearing Andre Bertos name...

What.a.joke.

Thanks for the clarification, man. I don't suppose Mauricio dropped any hints on how they're likely to approach the situation with the IBF? Do the WBC still consider themselves to have precedence or are they likely to come to an agreement to let the IBF mando situation be resolved first given that their hearing has already taken place?
