WBC orders Jermall Charlo vs Hugo Centeno Jr. for interim title

[Ron Swanson]

It’s cute the writer thinks anyone is going to fight Charlo(or Jacobs for that matter), naive, but cute. The fighters have been quite clear about this for years. If not the fighters then their trainers.

Agree with all of the above. As far as I'm concerned, Canelo v GGG only fucks the whole division up. I would like to see them 2 NOT fight each other, but instead fight some of the other guys such as Charlo, Jacobs and Saunders.
There's only one solution, a knockout tournament, but we all know that's not gonna happen. Politics wins again!

After Golovkin wins he has to fight these guys next. There is no hiding place but the list is long Saunders, Jacob's and Charlo.

Golovkin be ducking Charlo now, who'd have seen that coming.

it's not about ducking Charlo. I doubt that very much . As a bloke , GGG would probably fight Joshua or Wilder if he was told to! Probably Canelo would be the same, it's more Oscar scared of losing his cash cow.
It's about basically being able to fight who you want and don't want to according to value. I Know it's idealistic , but the authorities need to grow a pair and take back the running of the sport. While Canelo and GGG are wasting each other's time posturing and rematching, the rest of the division stagnates.
To me , it's about knowing who best of the best is, but just as GGG and Canelo are fighting each other, the remaining contenders don't fight each other to get in line because of the "Risk/Reward".
it'll never happen, but if they had no choice who they thought and had to earn their right to being called the best, we would all benefit. Like I said, idealistic and never gonna happen, but just my opinion.

There never has been an authority that ran the business (well, apart from the golden age when the mob ran it) and never will be. The business would cease to exist if idealistic (sums it up nice) fans were let at it.

1. As you say, fans want to identify the best, however, FIGHTERS want to make money. Promoters and TV companies make that possible by buying and selling self-serving invented status from "governing bodies" (a piece of leather and metal) to the public.

2. Due to skin colour/nationality/prejudice/jealousy/envy/hate, the requirements, standards and treatment of certain fighters would be very unequal.

Yeah , you're right. all I would say is :
ref. point no. 1 - the more fighters win , the higher their stock rises and the more they can earn.
point no. 2 - probably right and a reflection of the World we live in.
