    The side of boxing i really just cannot stand..

    Mandatory challenger becomes a world champion just because the actual champ couldnt come over and defend.

    what about the whole 12month rule that fighters used to get why hasnt joan played that card??

    Once again the real champion gets bummed over while 2 nobodys meet up in glasgow for a world championship??

    I think Guzman just could'nt be bovered with Arthur after the carry on he had,dont blame him when he can get alot bigger fights that will add to his reputation beating Arthur wont do anything for him other than keeping the belt.

    Arthur will defend against one or two WBO top 15 rated guys that no-one has ever seen or heard of - Ronny McField? Roy Mukhlis? - OR it will be former WORLD champ Derry Matthews, or maybe the Foster jr rematch.

    These contests will lead to a SUPER fight with either Nicky Cook or Manuel Medina (Fav). Fact.

    It's the only way he could of become champion. Plus its the WBO. It means very little

    Not that it necessarily means much more, but Arthur was interim champion after Guzman didn't defend his belt or get injured or something, so the only options to Guzman was to fight or let Arthur become champ.

    You mean you guys haven't installed the new WBO champ It's a sweet program I'm telling you. You can edit your own profile and make whatever kind of fighter you like, give him any name.You just mail in 3 easy payements of $49.95 to the WBO, and within 30 days you've got your own title belt, complete with 12oz gloves. You can square off against thousands of other WBO contenders online for the spoils, or once you get good enough even arrange sanctioned title defences in real life. All you need to do is get a pro license, Zelenoff did it.

    I hate when organiztions just give people titles, at least have him fight someone in the rankings for the belt.....now he's on about I'm proud to be the only Champ out of Edinburgh in the last 30 yrs....he didn't earn the belt.

    I think if this happens then they should have the number 1 contender and the number 2 ranked boxer, fight each other for the belt or have a little mini tournament between the top 4 ranked contenders. That way it is a little better, but because the rankings are so messed up it could mean very little actually.
