I understand he isn't going to vacate the belt when he can keep them all and make this an easy mandatory, but to suggest he would be criticized for doing so is way off imo. Lepai would probably lose to everyone else who is ranked in the top 10 by the WBO. Next after him, for instance, are Chisora, Andy Ruiz and Wilder. Let one of those guys beat Lepai for the vacant title and all it does is create a much better fight for Wlad. Besides, what about the other 2 beltsHe could fight Arreola or Pulev, who are both top ranked guys in those alphabets.
