The IBF will very likely put Eddie Chambers in an eliminator with another guy (Helenius, Arreola, Thompson?) to determine Wlad's new mandatory. Wlad had his last mandatory defense in Sept. 2010 when he fought Peter. By what time does Wlad have to fight his next mandatory? 12 months or 18 months, because he is a unified champion?
I don't know for sure... But I think, because of the "Lennox rule" it's 1½ year with unified champions. Only it would be so stupid to see Eddie as his mandatory again, after what he did to him last time out. This is what you get when you cleaned out the division, and have to wait for "new blood" while their victims are still the most valuable contenders.
If Povetkin fights Chagaev/Mormeck for the WBA "regular" title, is there any way for the coming WBA "superchamp" to challenge the regular champ in order to get rid of him?
I was thinking about an even weirder scenario... What if after September, Vitali fights the winner of the Mormeck/Chag/Pov circle (probably Povetkin). Do we get 2 WBA unified (Super) champs? :thinklol:
I know WBO is up to 24 months as "super champion" but not sure about IBF... its changed a couple times 9 months, then 11... I think its 18
