    Shouldn't they just give them to the guy that actually won them?

    Fights I’d like -

    Loma/Kambosos
    Shakur/Ortiz
    Tank, I mean “The Face of Boxing”, will probably be gifted the green belt in his next fight. But The Cruz rematch would be dope.



    Ryan Garcia? Lol. Unfortunately they’ve got Rolly lined up for him at 140.

    Garcia brings the money. And I don't mind Cruz giving him a beating if he decides to stay at 135.

    He can’t “stay” at 135 when he hasn’t actually fought there in over 2 1/2 years, 3 fights ago. But yeah, it would be nice if he made the trip for a Cruz fight.

    I'm kinda tired of tank being propped up by casuals when Haney took a bigger risk fighting Loma and hope he gets stretched out to prove a point

    I promise you Kambosos will fight for one, that's why they robbed Maxi.

    The WBC and WBO have Loma and Stevenson as there top 2 ranked lightweights, so I'd assume they would be matched for the vacant titles. That's a fight I'd love to see, the old guard vs the next gen and Stevenson and Arum have talked about it before so it's a fight that could easily be made as both are Top Rank fighters.

    The IBF have Gustavo Lemos as their top ranked fighter but nobody ranked 2nd, Loma and Stevenson are out as they'll more likely fight each other. That leaves Lemos vs 5th ranked Isaac Cruz. But the IBF might just order some eliminators to decide who fights for the vacant title.
