to be fair it hasn't been a year since el ray & mcwilliams last fought. tyson says he's retired, shouldn't the title be vacated? pound for pound has never been anything meaningful, just a concept. canelo still holding a franchise title at one sixty & having not fought at that weight in over three years is crazy. el gallo hasn't fought in over a year & still holds a franchise title at one fifteen
He's pulled out three times. Had it been the other way around, McWilliams would've been stripped long ago.
Tyson retires more often than some people change their shorts. Nobody takes him seriously anymore.
P4P could be meaningful if people actually used it as it was intended and left blatant favoritism out of it.
What's a joke are these "Franchise" titles. Just like Tyson's many "retirements", nobody takes them seriously.
el rey may have pulled out three times & it is disappointing but it is still within a year of their last fight. i'm not sure i agree that mcwilliams would have been stripped if it had been the other way around. gary russell jr was allowed almost two years before his last defense. tyson can talk all the shit he wants but the sanctioning bodies should be enforcing things. tyson only fought in april so i'm good but if that's my sanctioning body i'm confirming if you are retired or not. if you are retired then the belt is vacant, if you are not then i'd have a mandatory in place. trouble is they still have deontay at number one. pound for pound can never be meaningful because it is mythical & subjective, only a concept, not a reality. franchise titles are as much of a joke as wba regular titles
I'm more interested on how Part-time Thurman gets elevated to #1 with just 1 win over the last three and a half years. Guess that Crawford v Spence is going to have to wait :p
If Jake Paul beats Rahman he will be ranked to face Makabu for WBC title according to Mauricio Sulaiman.
Didn't know if it was possible for a sanctioning body gaggle to sink so low in credibility within a few days. Literally guaranteeing and selling rank social media style.
sergio maravilla martinez at number five middleweight for wba is pretty bad
i heard the wbc are axing the franchise title
