Comments Thread For: Garcia vs. Porter Winner Has To Make "Two" Mandatory Defenses

[Randall Cunning]

Make a mockery of their own rankings, jump over Vargas, Abdukakhorov, Kavaliauskas, Lejarraga, to satisfy the whims of others

I bet this is music to Danny and Shawn ears

Unification will always trump mandatories

and thank f*** for that because those mandatories are awful, let's hope the winner faces Spence or Bud!

Only guy that even remotely dodged Spence openly was Thurman. IMO, that wasn't even a duck. He told Spence he has to earn it and he's right. None of the rest have done or said anything so it's speculation.

What did Paul Williams do when the "top guys" didn't want it? He moved up. Real talk, Spence is a bítch. Quit waiting around for a LW to move up and get to work!

The promoters don't control the sport, the sanctioning bodies do. What does a promoter have to do with these ****** mando's?

A guy like Canelo refusing a mando is one thing, but putting in these nonames as mando's or if you have a title and move up a class you become a mando is ****** as fùck.

Got a title and want to move up? Start from the bottom like the rest and become a champ.

u must be new to boxing.

the promoters make all matchups and often ignore the sanctioning bodies. they move fighters around at will.

the sanctioning bodies DO have the power to decide if two fighters fight for their belts, but they have no power to enforce their mandated matchups. they have no power to oblige a fighter or their promoter to do anything.

the past year every major promoter ignored the mandatories too many times to count. if u follow rankings you will also notice they follow the interests of the major promoters not the other way around.

sometimes a fighter will ignore his/her promoter, but then they cant fight.

just in the course of a month you can see all this for yourself.

I think whoever wins will take one mando fight and then Thurman

WBC is trying to s**t on the IBF and Spence Jr.! Mikey's playing games, and things are looking bleak! Errol Spence Jr., the "truth" is, it's time to call Arum! The only better option than Crawford is Canelo!

[SkillspayBills]

The winner wont be fighting Spence for a while then, which is what I have been telling people who seemed to think that fight was a given. Crawford and Spence really have got no other options but each other if they want it.

Unification trumps mandatory. You would know this if you were an actual fan of the sport.

Not at all. Two mandatories after a vacant bout is standard procedure. But the WBC will ultimately do whatever Haymon wants. Remains to be seen what order Haymon wants to go in when matching up his welterweights.

Cool let's see if that unification happens any time soon, I bet it doesn't.

[RuleOfTheSpear]

Well that makes it easy for everybody.

Hope nobody diva out
