    Also -- would love for Haney vs. Tank to go to a purse bid and be won by Eddie and DAZN. Just to see the look on Ellerbe's face.

      Fortuna vs Cuellar is a WBC title eliminator for Haney's WBC actual belt.

Instead of having him defend against Haney and then have Davis fight to earn a shot at the winner, they have taken Loma completely out of the picture. IMO Loma would favored to beat Tank now and Haney, while IMO he has attributes and fighting style that would be toughest for Loma at 135, he is still so young that Loma would be a big favorite over him now.

        Gervonta also gets over. He was ranked like 4th last month and suddenly gets ranked #1 for just announcing a fight with Gamboa. Now he is #1 in wba and wbc. He didn't even have to fight ANYONE. Complete Bullsh-t. DId Luke Campbell lose to someone and we not know?

        Really sad to watch WBC sink to new lows.
        They were never gonna enforce any mandatory for Loma. The WBC are kiss asses. They wanna be involved with all the big names in boxing so they make ****** fake belts so they don't piss anyone off and lose out on those big sanctioning fees.

        I think we all know none of those 3 guys will probably ever fight one another. Loma gets the other belt then drops down to 130. Tank fights bums or guys moving up 2 divisions and Haney is left out in the cold until he moves to 140 in the near future.
        Maybe the loser of Commey vs Lopez can jump right to the top of the WBC ranking so we can see Haney get a good matchup soon.

        I'm holding out hope for a Tank-Loma PPV end of next year. At some point they're gonna let the training wheels off Tank and get him a huge fight.

          Usyk was mando for WBO without any fights at HW. These sanctioning bodies are a joke.

            I expect Haney/Campbell, Loma/(Commey/Lopez) winner and Tank/Leo early next year.

            How can Loma remain 135 lb champ emeritus if he moves out of the weight class? Unbelievable.

              That is actually a WBO rule that they enforce. If a champion from a lower weight class vacates the title and moves up, he automatically becomes #1 in the new weight class.

                No Surprise really in this ERA of Over Hyping and Overrating Fighters

                Tank is a excellent young fighter with legit SUPERSTAR Potential, however he still has to go out and earn it and prove it. Right now Positions and even Titles (nobody ever bothered to explained how he was elevated to WBA Super Champion and Machado was demoted to Regular) are being Auctioned off to whoever can bring the WBC and WBA higher Sanctioning Fees and it is a disgrace

                World Champion means absolutely Nothing anymore because they're being handed out now instead of guys having to earn it...LITERALLY!

                  I know, just pointing out its possible to be #1 without any fights. Actually like the rule if it forces good fights to actually happen.

                    Oh ok. I don't love the rule but at least the wbo enforces it equally across all weights.

                      Everybody knows that money is what influences the sanctioning bodies. This should be no surprise.
