Simple solution to eliminate ducking/inactivity

Unless your name is Canelo. At which point he is unstrippable.

 

Sadly, if you are a cash cow the rules are made to accommodate you and l don't see that changing anytime soon, perhaps ever.

 

Unfortunately they always seem to make exceptions and I can't see that stopping because of the amount of money involved.

 

I remember when he stripped himself knelt at gggs feet and handed him the belt
True story

 

This is IMO perfectly sound common sense logic like: "you can't be a champion unless you beat a champion".

 

I agree but they should fight at least twice a year. And one of them being a mandatory.

Or they get stripped.

Best case the Saudis buy up all 4 organizations and combine them into one. Make one nice shiny belt made out of gold and blood diamonds.

 

A better way is for fans to not pay for or watch meaningless fights. Hit them where it hurts, the pocket book. Stop paying filet mignon prices for bologna.

 

One mandatory per year, which includes for each belt with the exception of unification fights which can be made if done in a timely manner.

 

And Jose Sulaiman wept and begged him to take it back.

 

I agree with you but the most ironic and funniest thing about this is that they're all technically non-profit organizations. It's really crazy.

This is a great idea................in theory, I'd even go so far as saying every year, not every other year you should be fighting a mandatory or another titlist..............It would never work though.

 

the fans that will get mad enough to abandon a fighter have mostly abandoned the whole sport, as the sport deserves.

 

I'd be happy to see this! If you are in the top ten, you should ONLY fight other top ten guys. But I'd add, if one wants a 'stay busy' fight against a lesser opponents, that would be OK. So long as they fight two other top ten opponents within the time frame.
