    Lemieux v quillin would be good. Lee v N'dam would be good. And Saunders v Danny Jacobs would be good too.

    Unfortunately I think we are soon going to see Danni Geales v Sam Soliman in an IBF eliminator.

    Agree big time, I've learned to live with 4 sanctioning bodies but when the multiple titles have multiple titles and vacancy fights don't occur between the two highest ranked guys I get annoyed

    Bertos WBC at 147 and Broners WBO 130 were vacancy fights with a huge gap in rank and class and in no way should have been a title match. Glorified sparring with a free belt

    Don't mean to pick on those two, there's plenty more cases

    snow***** chance in hell. N'Dam won an IBF eliminator against Curtis Stevens and they don't rank Geale.

    I didn't mean for the IBF belt, I think they will fight an eliminator to try and get ranked for a fight with N'Dam.

    ah, i read that too quickly. still don't think Geale will get a sniff of anything IBF. Lemieux is already ranked & would be a good matchup with N'Dam.

    - Golovkin is expecting something WBC in August or September so after Cotto likely vacates it could be Lemieux, Heiland or Saunders.

    - Cotto's legal adviser stated he should be announcing something next week regarding his next fight.

    - Frank ****** stated Eubank Jr must beat Chudinov (WBA Interim Champion) to get rematch with Billy Joe Saunders.

    So does anyone here actually know the WBA rules regarding their belts?

    I at various times for various reasons have read through all the WBC, and WBO paperwork for rules and championship guidelines etc. Never the WBA though.

    Can anyone even become a mandatory for a WBA Super champ? It seems like you can become a mandatory for WBA regular... but I cannot recall an instance of a WBA regular forcing or threatening a purse bid with WBA Super.

    no idea, Xelloss. i know Jacobs doesn't want any of Triple G anytime soon. he expects to be back in April vs TBA.

    no chance Lee vacates that belt, Barcham. he probably sleeps with it.

    in my first post you can see there was a purse bid three days ago for Saunders EBU belt and his mandatory, which added speculation Lee might fight Quillin. supposedly it's all to be cleared up any time now.

    JUST on twitter from the scene. Lee vs Quillin is set. Saunders was paid off. hope to god Lee wins that cause Kid Chicken & his daddy Haymon will never fight Triple G.

    Should be an action packed fight, 2 heavy handed guys, who aren't exactly defensive masters.

    C'MON ANDY!
