    And, he's a mandatory. :deal

    Plus Chunky v Porky is a nice tagline.

    Porky will always have a place in my heart for sparking J'Leon.:happy

    He is definitely a tougher out than Boxrec may suggest and of course, most importantly he is the mando. Not a massive fan of Degale but he's been in as deep as the current SMW will allow and has proved he's willing to travel so in my book he's earned his stripes.:good

    It should be the IBF people give **** to because they constantly enforce mandatories against no-hopers giving us pointless matches.

    Really...Jack-Bute? Could be a good fight if Bute goes for the KO and gets his mojo back.
    Who have people got in this one?:huh

    It's the only way some fighters will ever get a chance to win a world title if they are not with a big promoter or have TV offers coming out of their bum.

    Most contenders who are a big draw reject final eliminators as they must take 50-50 in the eliminator, then 25-75 v The Champ in the mando, and would probably earn more waiting for a voluntary to be offered.

    For example, would Shawn Porter have ever considered fighting Kell Brook if the IBF didn't make him?

    And since Brook has been champ, Bundu, Khan, Bradley, Porter, Alexander and Ali have all turned down the chance to become mando (Spence will soon follow suit). And has been left to fight Dan and Bizier as mando's. Frankie Gavin was also top rated when Brook beat him.

    Another thing fighters don't really like about the IBF is the 10lb rehydration clause for the next morning.

    I think if people really knew the rules and not just thought the IBF was picking anybody in the rankings (you can't fight for a title coming off a loss for example) they'd be applauded.

    IBF Rankings (Super Middleweight Division)

    01. Jose Uzcategui (fought IBF title eliminator in October 2015)
    02. NOT RATED
    03. Rogelio Medina (has not fought IBF title eliminator)
    04. Patrick Nielson
    05. Andre Dirrell
    06. Callum Smith
    07. Jesse Hart
    08. Hadillah Mohoumadi
    09. Zac Dunn
    10. J'Leon Love

    IBF previously enforced James DeGale to arrange a fight with Jose Uzcategui, but he came down with illness. So Medina is 2nd in line.

    but to add..."Degale also isnt regarded as a top 5 p4p fighter"
