@JazzaDickens10 David Benavidez. He would kill everyone.

[Alex Crighton @AlexCrighton]

@Turki_alalshikh Fuck off with this shit. It’s insulting. @anthonyjoshua @Tyson_Fury are either of you gonna grow a set of balls and dignity and step up? Force these cunts to abide and make the fight at a time and place catered towards UK fans. Not a bunch of yanks who don’t even care about you.

@JackSlackMMA Are you gonna cover the Boots Zayas fight?

[Alex Crighton @AlexCrighton]

@DanRafael1 Disgraceful.

[Alex Crighton @AlexCrighton]

@svmichanco @TruskoolBoks @DanRafael1 Kambosos was mandatory and that fight went to purse bids. This is partly my point. A system that keeps the sport ticking regardless of lineal status is necessary so guys get their fair shot. Most of the alphabet rankings are terrible but at least they enforce mandatories.

[Alex Crighton @AlexCrighton]

@TruskoolBoks @svmichanco @DanRafael1 A better system would be one unified governing body that aligns with the lineage but still has the power to mandate defences and strip a champion if he refuses to defend. That will never happen though. At least not one that isn’t controlled by a promoter.

[Alex Crighton @AlexCrighton]

@TruskoolBoks @svmichanco @DanRafael1 That’s not saying much.

[Alex Crighton @AlexCrighton]

@svmichanco @TruskoolBoks @DanRafael1 Yes, but there’s no rules making sure said champion actually fights worthy challengers. It’s a flawed system which shouldn’t get as much romanticism as it seems to get.

[Alex Crighton @AlexCrighton]

@TruskoolBoks @DanRafael1 Which is why it gets too much credence. Lineal don’t mean much if you’re free to duck.

[Alex Crighton @AlexCrighton]

@ManderbaltS @DanRafael1 I understand the concept, I’m pointing out that it can be exploited and shouldn’t be held to such a high prestige.

[Alex Crighton @AlexCrighton]

@DanRafael1 Jesus. No need to be a prick.

[Alex Crighton @AlexCrighton]

@DanRafael1 That is a bad loophole though. Since you can’t be stripped of the lineage and the Ring Magazine doesn’t strip or enforce manadatories. Theoretically Usyk can remain lineal champion and fight Jake Paul 10 times in a row.

[Alex Crighton @AlexCrighton]

@ATokkers5 100% agree. The Ring Magazine can’t enforce mandatories or strip anyone no matter who they choose to fight (or not). It’s such an obvious flaw yet Max Kellerman insists it’s the be all and end all.

[Latoxicadelboxeo @laizar27]

You have a sick obsession with Canelo lol

[Alex Crighton @AlexCrighton]

@eaner0919 Sorry, thought you said overpaying. My bad.

[Alex Crighton @AlexCrighton]

@eaner0919 Never heard a fighter complain about being overpaid, ever.

[Alex Crighton @AlexCrighton]

@eaner0919 Yeah, but it’s not a manager’s job to do what’s best for the sport.

[Alex Crighton @AlexCrighton]

@eaner0919 Right. Because that’s what you want in a manager if you’re a fighter… someone who gets you a purse that you’re worth, not above 🙄
