Not unheard of, no. But neither is it the norm as you so astutely point out. People underestimate how big a ten percent change is. Since you...
I'm not saying it would go away. But he would have less power, in my opinion. It's not just about losing mass, but also depleted ability to...
While cruiserweight has probably the least amount of information on fight night weights, what's available does not support the idea of a prolonged...
Well, if you had just followed the thread instead of reacting blindly to every mention of Whyte, you would know that the debate was originally a...
I want to hone in on this specifically. This is out-of-touch, fanciful thinking. Whyte made MILLIONS fighting Rivas, fulfilling the same scenario...

No, Parker was rated #5 by the WBC when Dillian Whyte fought him. Chisora was #7.
Why did Whyte specifically have to fight a PBC fighter? Whyte fought Parker and Chisora in that time period. Ortiz' most significant win was...
Summary: the WBC deems their #4 contender "first mandatory", granting their #1 contender and silver champion the chance to fight for "second...
