If he didn't fight the undisputed lightheavyweight champion at 175, he certainly isn't going to fight Kovalev at 175.
I agree that it would be awful for the division but Thompson would still have earned the shot(with a win over Pulev).
Why in the hell would he "pass on this"? He's 41 years old and he must be thinking about cashing out at some point. It's not his fault that Wlad...

It really isn't all that complicated. Shane needs money and Mundine is possibly the biggest draw in the southern hemisphere. Mosley'll make twice...
