The WBO and their mandatories

Great post!

It was an interesting read.

This is what's wrong with boxing.

There's corruption and favouritism, and there's too many cooks in the kitchen.

Four main organisations is just too much in boxing. Because their rules and regulations, are always going to criss cross with each other.

This is why people have to ask for extensions etc.

A fighter can't fall in with each organisations rules and regulations, because circumstances won't allow it to happen.

If you keep one organisation happy and follow their rules, it may affect your standing with another.

I know there's always been corruption, but bring back the old days. It was a lot better.

Also, I never knew that Dariusz's manager Peter Kohl, was part of the WBO. That explains a lot.


:good

 

Correct.

I don't care what anyone says, Dariusz wasn't outraged by those decisions.

In fact, it appears to me that it didn't bother him in the slightest.

All of the guys on this forum that comment on that situation, seem much more bothered than he did.

 

I don't blame him either.

His situation reminds me how Joe C handled his career for the most part.

But the only problem I have with it, is that both guys IMHO, pretended that they wanted the biggest fights out there, but they were unable to obtain them due to circumstances.

But in my mind, nobody would make the amount of defences that those two did, had they not been happy with the set up.

If you look at Dariusz's resume, his intentions seemed clear.

A fighter called Freeman Barr was mentioned in the article that you uploaded. According to Frank W, he didn't want to make that fight for Joe, but Joe wanted it, even though Barr had beaten absolutely nobody, and he'd lost twice at MW.

 

Not sure what you find so interesting? :huh
Could it be that Tarver was not interested in challenging DM?
I seem to recall that R Hatton was WBO mandatory for the undefeated champ D Corley, yet Hatton stayed defending his WBU belt and I recall Corley even mentioning Hatton not challenging

 

bum after bum? Barber, Rocchigiani, Hill. fighters like Prince and Griffin were fair challengers

 

He may not have been bothered but defending a title in a month is alot for many fighters who have just gone 12 rounds. Also he won the titles and was known as the champ

 

How do you get to that conclusion? Do you know Tarver wanted to go for the title?

 

Barr in the end lost to future European champ Mkertchyan who Calzaghe defended against

 

Who said elite? Prince wasnt a bad challenger at all. Had you followed Prince on the way up? I did and he was a big punching fighter.
You could ask who Jones beat at LHW who was what you call Elite?
I asked you the question before about what you call elite and you completely ducked the question, so please again, define elite

 

between them its extremely impressive
