I like Bradley enough but he doesn`t have superstar ability and basically needs to fight more often if he wants to preserve the things he does have going for him.

I don't understand what people are whining about half the time mate, they are never happy. No opponent is good enough, no belt is credible enough blah blah.

We have two options.

1)Bradley keeps the title, takes the year off and there is no WBC title fight this summer/autumn.

2) As he refused to defend his belt the WBC move on and match two of the most exciting fighters in the division in what will likely be a great slugfest. Then Bradley is given the right as 'champion in recess' to fight the winner and get his belt back.

So we get a nice title fight between two exciting stars, the WBC make some money, and Bradley gets to win his belt back when he decides to fight again.

Sounds like simple common sense to me.
