    still doesn't make up for the bull, and actually makes matters worse as that means the current #1 doesn't even get his shot because of that.
    Not that I'm a Khan fan (far from it), or even believe he earned that #1 spot, but the whole thing definitely stinks.

    2. Amir Khan is ratified as mandatory contender.

    3. Lamont Peterson vs. Andre Berto for a final elimination bout to determine the second mandatory.

    Khan already got knocked spark out by Garcia, so it doesn't matter. If he wants a shot at Garcia again, he'll get it. Not sure why you guys are complaining. It's weird.

    it should have been Khan vs Garcia in the first place, and if Garcia or Khan say no then move on to the next challenger (wich isn't Guerrero either)

    This way they can build the fight, it's a perfect scenario for the WW landscape.

    No it's not. It's a way to give Gacia the title, and then create a mandatory for him to face.

    best option would have been a mini tournament to determine the champion
    second option the classic #1 vs #2, third option #1 vs #3, fourth #2 vs #3, fifth #1 vs #4, sixt/seventh #2 vs #4 or #1 vs #5, eight/ninth #2 vs #5/#1 vs #6... TENTH Garcia vs Guerrero.

    Don't blame Garcia for fighting Guerrero, Guerrero is only getting the title shot because he has Mexican heritage. :patsch Blame the WBC, they've been doing this for decades already. If you're fighting for a vacant WBC title, you're most likely going to fight a Mexican.

    Either way, Garcia wins the belt, but he's still obligated to fight his mandatory otherwise get stripped. If Khan really wants the rematch, he'll get it. And the fight will be huge.

    I don't blame Garcia for getting a gift belt, I do blame the WBC.
    And does Garcia actually have to fight his mando after? Because history has shown that it often isn't the case when it comes to WBC belts, and certainly not the WBC welter one.

    Berto is an irrelevant bum should have retired after losing to Ortiz
    Ortiz is an irrelevant bum should have retired after Maidana sonned him.
    Guerrero should be an irrelevant bum I still don't know who he's beat

    Garcia will end up irrelevant after fighting nobodies who claim to be somebody's and will lose his 0 in an undignified fashion.

    Khan will get stopped on his feet by a sub-par opponent and retire in 2017

    Bradley will retire at the end of 2016 or 2017. Arum going to mess him around.

    Hell knows what Brook is doing. looking for Khan in 2016 which I think will come though.

    Not sure what is in store for Thurman

    Lets just hope the top guys at welterweight will finally manage to fight one another...mother of god. Khan Brook in Summer I suspect.

    someone quote this at the end of 2016 please.

    Everything u said is spot on and I agree with except Bradley retiring. Even if Arum keeps stringing him along, he's building up his resume and imo we haven't seen the best of him yet. I'm not a fan of his really but I can see this.
