    With todays collection of ABC belts. whats your opinion on mandatory challengers, should a fighter fight each and every mandatory that has 'earned' a shot at him, or should he pick and choose based on his value of them?

    Should Wlad have fought Tony Thompson?

    Should Floyd fight Robert Guerrero?

    Etc

    bare in mind that with most of the bigger fighters today, they can effectively avoid fighting their mandatories and will not be stripped given the amount of money they bring in for the commission

    You can't win sometimes if Floyd fights the mandatory it's easy if he doesn't he is ducking, I'm still confused if the law says the mandatory has to get the shot under the Ali act

    I like that there is one mandatory challenger to the title each year. Now if he allows himself to get paid off, that's on him.

    If there only was one boxing association and only one belt, a mandatory fight a year would be fine.
