Why is Arum still protecting Valdez?

Joet Gonzalez vs Shakur Stevenson for the vacated belt coming

[Mammoth]

I think they still want to make Valdez vs Frampton. Stevenson is more deserving of good fights than limited Lopez though....

Yep. And that's bull****.

MCC is complaining about Arum in house structuring but Haymon perfect doe

Valdez is the champ at Top Rank. Shakur is ready for a shot at the title. If Valdez moves up and Shakur gets a shot at the vacant title that's BS. Put him over by letting him beat the champ

Warrington is also the champ at top rank.

And if arum wants to control another belt at 130 what’s the problem?

It’s the same as Jermall charlo and Jarrett Hurd. Jermall didn’t fight Hurd. Instead Haymon had him up and Position him to go for the wbc middleweight belt and had Hurd fight Harrison for the vacant IBF 154. Haymon wanted to keep both Charlo and Hurd undefeated. No difference between that and Shakur and Valdez.

Bad comparison. Charlo was talking about moving up even before the JRock fight and the only reason he stuck around was because JRock's team were talking a lot of smack. This wasn't to keep two fighters undefeated or anything. Charlo simply put couldn't make weight any longer.

As for Shakur, he may be ready for a title shot but Ward wants him to get another fight or two against solid competition. If Valdez is still at 126 when that happens, then the fight should happen. But if Arum chooses to go with Valdez vs Warrington or Valdez vs Frampton, that's fine as well.

When did Warrington sign with Top Rank? TR & Warren have a deal to broadcast Warren's fights in the US.

I can tolerate Valdez-Warrington unification. But I wouldn't like up see Frampton get another shot over Stevenson

[Albanianboxing]

Is Top Rank going to make Frampton vs Valdez?

How about Stevenson vs Frampton? Or would Frampton not take that fight unless it is for the title?
