    i cant see marquez defending his title now after his comments about retiring.

    he will make $5m+ if he fights pacquaio again or retire , no way will he fight burns when his purse will be around $1m or less

    give it up most likely but let Burns fight for it not just give it to him.

    for interim, but Marquez was champ, if he vacates burns should have to fight for it, not just be given it, IMHO anyway

    I thought thats what the interim was tbh.

    If you need to fight again you may as well call it an eliminator.

    Burns should be given the belt, he has fought a worthy world title challenger so deserves the belt

    Champion in waiting basically I thought.

    So, if when the Champ comes back to the weight, or back from injury, he either defends against you, or you're champ.
