So does WBC deserve some credit?

They don't deserve the tiny bit of credit. They've degraded their belt by letting their champions defend it on catchweight after catchweight. They were supposed to enforce Canelo vs GGG right after the Cotto fight. They never wanted to strip Canelo, the pressure was too much to handle anymore. WBC is a corrupt entity that should cease to exist for the sake of boxing.

 

I thought canelo dumped it due to feeling cornered and won't ever (bs) fight for a wbc again. Well, until ggg is gone or older

 

They were just hoping to cash in on the fight

Now that the belts vacated they get nothing

Good luck collecting fees for GG vs Heiland :-(

 

Yes, they do. They showed the Boxing world what a coward Canelo is.

 

Credit is for those who go above and beyond or do their job consistently and reliably.

Why would WBC deserve credit for doing their job only after the weight of all the media pressure was upon their shoulders?

 

Absolutely. People should have known from the beginning they wouldn't have favored Canelo. Mauricio has been working hard to fix their reputation. Them holding true isn't the least bit surprising to me. Good for boxing.

 

What do they deserve credit for? According to K2 vacating was one of the primary options so both sides can avoid a purse bid.
Based off everything out there this fight still has a good chance at happening next even the WBA has officially released a statement saying as long as Canelo-GGG is still in talks a Jacobs fight will not be ordered. The title being vacated was the most talked about story but the real notes were the comments by GB & K2.

 

This.

 

Man, you really are on damage control since Canelo dropped that belt! :rofl:rofl

Thread after thread "leaaaaveee Canelooooo alone" :crybaby:crybaby:crybaby

 

Thanks to the kind of stuff his old man pulled, Mauricio caught a lot of guilt by association. Alot of people are still shocked he doesn't run it like pops did, so when he does do something right or hold up to his word, they're genuinely surprised a bit.

That tells you how low people thought of Jose moreso than anything. It doesn't help that boxing politics in general is a dirty line of work.

 

Credit for finally enforcing their own rules after pressure from media, fans and K2 with the possibility of a major lawsuit hanging above their heads?

They've bend their rules against Golovkin and in Martinez', Cotto's and Alvarez' favor for years now, constantly moving the goalposts.
Don't forget why this interim championship had been created in the first place, and that basically Golovkin should have been the champion already when Cotto vacated not to fight him and then not to honor his step aside fee when the Canelo fight was just 2 weeks out.
Then they let Canelo fight for the vacant belt that should have been Golovkin's from that point on by being the interim champion already.

So no, they not get any credit for now keeping the deadline up and basically forcing Canelo to pull a Bowe. Who says they even would have stripped him if Canelo put on another delay?

 

WBC motto's are as follows
1. Don't get sue'd, they don't want the Rocchigiani/Nunn incident happening again.
2. Make lots and lots of money without getting sued.
3. Have a Mexican as their champion.

They were just looking out for their best interest while 3 and 2 weren't an option anymore.
