@MichaelBensonn@boxing_social Talking about time. How much time are the WBO, IBF & WBA, giving Hearn to sort out a rematch that was activated 8 months ago?
WBO mandatory shouldn't even come with a rematch.
Holding up the whole division. Once again.
@ronmiller4life@ESPNRingside The rules still state he should make voluntary defences.
"A WBC champion should aim to defend the title in mandatory or voluntary defences at least three times a year"
"A champion who does not defend his title within those periods shall forfeit their title"
@MarkGosney1 @rebel_365 @Jimbob210712@MichaelBensonn@SkySports@WBCBoxing That's fair, the 2 champs are a long way above the others, so it's not very competitive at the top. But there's some decent potential match ups there. I also like Joyce, can't see Wilder joining a tournament unless he has a huge slice of the pie mind.
@MarkGosney1 @rebel_365 @Jimbob210712@MichaelBensonn@SkySports@WBCBoxing Why is it awful? HrgovicZhang, are going IBF route, FuryHunter looking at the winner of DuboisBryan, so all WBA. Usyk champion of other belts, AJ contracted to fight him.
Personally I'd like to see Bakole higher, as he was 14th, and just beat 10th. Who else would you have?
@malcolmxxx92@IamRickyEllis@svmichanco @dannyboycerda @MichaelBensonn@SkySports Yeah, assuming the bodies agreed to the rematch clause, in the wbc eyes he's contracted to fight for the titles.
Wilder didn't appear in any rankings other than the WBC between fight 2 & 3, either.
