Teo next fight.

[TIC]

It’s very obvious to everyone that Teo wants no part of Haney.

You obviously never noticed over the years.

Teo could have made the Haney fight straight after he beat Loma.

it's not obvious to me that teo wants no part of devin. can you please provide the years & dates that you would like me to notice. teo had the ibf mandatory against george straight after the loma fight

Retired, not retired, somewhere in between. Basically, this reads as more sanctioning body idiocy to allow a champ to act more as a belt warmer than a defending champion. Using a p4p rank ffs . Either defend or drop them and move up. The new thing is to have it both ways though.

[TIC]

yeah but they'll stripped jermell for attempting to be great

[Spicoli]

Well Jermell should be stripped. Man dodged a signed and made mandatory fight. Only problem I have is the posturing theater of waiting to strip him after he enters the ring etc. It's nonsense. It's becoming a very bad trend. I have no favorites. This is just more crooked sanctioning body coddling.

there are other champions that need to be stripped before jermell. he's taking a bigger fight & a bigger challenge than timmy presents. if they can make exceptions for unifications over mandatories, then a shot at an undisputed championship should be given the same grace. i'd understand if jermell was saying he isn't returning to fifty four but all i've heard from him is he wants to keep his belt. i'd prefer timmy get a shot at jermell for the undisputed championship & jermell will still be the lineal champion if he does go back to that weight anyway

Oh yeh, agree there. Line them up and have a strip off. Jermall, Jermell, Fury and maybe even Spence pre Crawford on timeline. It's a dog and pony show because more and more the alphabet boys are enabling and giving a pass to it for numerous arbitrary nonspecific reasons. Jermall woke up with a headache and had an argument with his wife...sure he gets an 800+ day pass . They make the rules and ignore them. With the belts honestly I just don't put much stock in them for about a decade now. They're the addiction resulting from and pushed by the drug lords aka the alphabet groups. The wbc is repeating Jermall with Fury right now as we speak. Literally "we're in no hurry to find a mandatory" and that's right after not forcing Wilder and Ortiz to find-make terms for a fight the wbc itself ordered! It's all a long con for Sulaiman, yet fans keep bailing his water and making the belts the be all and end all. Mandatories take step aside dough all the time for cases of same division unification. And some don't and should not be expected too after signing a done deal. And honestly here, I'm not at all convinced based on "being bigger" that Charlo vs Canelo will be nearly as competitive as Tszyu vs Charlo. And he'll no longer be undisputed when the fight happens...again it's the wbo playing games and waiting to literally strip him as the bell rings. So as to not get in the way of the marketing of "undisputed vs undisputed". It's beyond ridiculous.

you could be right that it may not be as competitive as jermell v timmy but canelo is a bigger challenge than timmy & comes with the potential to win another undisputed championship, whilst moving up two divisions. let's also wait & see how timmy goes in his next fight. if anything the delays have been good for timmy
