The Saddoboxing Sanctioning body

[killersheep]

But would'nt a meeting of 1 and 2 constitute a previous consideration,or just establish a mandatory challenger.If a guy wins in year one,he can also sit on the sideline hoping the Champ does the same.Just might become blurred as to what actually determines a Championship fight with the vote??Dont mind me,off for three days and indulging in liquids...ahem

What I mean is that once a champion is established he must defend his title at least once a year from the date he won it. Every fight at that weight would be considered at defense for him. If he goes over that year period without defending (due to inactivity or fighting at other weights, not injury) then if the #1 & #2 contenders sign to fight sometime in the next 12 months following then it could qualify as fight to crown a new champion.

Aha I gotcha now.One thing I'd add is that a reigning champion cannot division jump to test the waters at higher/lower weight and keep championship.This may seem uptight but I think it would maintain structure in division.Am I off? Just a personal dislike the leaping.Chances are highly likely that any succsess at higher weight translates to that champion never returning to legitiment threats....cough Pac.....cough

I see what you are saying. Maybe we should just say a champ that doesn't defend his title for a year vacates automatically. Let's say for example JMM who is the champ at 135 moves to 140 and fights an unranked fighter JMM by right gets put in the 140 lb. pool, but if he does not defend at 135 within a year of his last defense there he gets dropped to the 135 pool as well.
