    Why arent Bivol or Beterbiev fighting for the vacant WBO belt?

    Boxing is such a joke. I dont think their promoters even petitioned the WBO for this. IMO shows they're just pawns doing whats best for everyone's $$$ business overall, rather than their own careers, and they dont really want to be great any more than the likes of Tank Davis who are at least honest about putting off the best fights for years and years.

    Being a hardcore boxing fan for over 10 years now, IMO this is the one "secret" I learned that they dont tell you. There is zero difference between Floyd and Pacquiao, Tank and Loma, GGG and Canelo, Adonis Stevenson and Bivol or Beterbiev. Half of them play the WWE good guy, half of them play the WWE villain, but 100% of them are full of **** pretending they care about legacy, or their own careers, but really, IMO, operating together as one as sort of a communist group of elites who will only push their own careers forward when it also benefits the financial business of the rest of the boxers and the sport.

    Just my opinion, but I've paid close attention for years now, and this is the only explanation that, IMO, explains what goes on in the sport.

    Logically if you believe this you should not be a boxing fan. I think pro wrestling is fake and staged so I don;t care about it or watch it. I think pro boxing is real and a great sport so I watch it and enjoy it.

          Because as champions of other sanctioning bodies they aren't ranked by the WBO?

            Chill out. These are fighters my guy. They’ve been getting punched in the face as long as we’ve been breathing. Have some respect.

              Neither are ranked by the WBO. That’s why.

                    Bivol would win. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was as one-sided as Usyk Gassiev tbh. I rate Bivol highly
