    Definitely.

    A big part of the problem is having too many organisations - too many "world champion" titles/belts means multiple fighters get referred to as champs, get to boost their cheques and squeeze the splits on challengers.

    And all this makes it too easy for champions to duck the really juicy fights that everyone wants to see, they don't want to lose their cash cow statuses.

    Mix in that the number of organisations means no one organisation is solely responsible for failing to generate the best mandatories for each champion and it quickly becomes obvious why those fights aren't happening... Half the time the fighters themselves don't want them and the organisations don't push it on them nearly often enough.

    If it were possible to click fingers and boil it all down to one or two bodies/belts in total for "world champion" status then we might actually see those fights happen more.

    The whole thing is a needlessly convoluted mess...

    Obviously, Froch would batter him to and fro.

    It would be funny, though, if Roy somehow ruins Carls nose job..lol

    It's sad all these retired fighters doing these exhibition fights. Cotto is fighting JMM in a exhibition soon.

    I get they all want some easy money but it's a cynical move to just fleece the public.

    Prime Jones does an Andre Ward style job on Froch, now i'd favour Froch because he hasn't been long retired .
