If the fight was an ''eliminator'' then why haven't the WBC gone ahead with that and put McCall in as mandatory challenger for the winner of Maskaev vs Peter? Perhaps that's the case, but McCall deserves a shot quicker than Klitschko, who hasen't even fought yet.
Another thing, if Mccall rematches Sam and loses does this jepardize his title shot? If it does, I would have serious reservations about a rematch...

We'd have unification in ALL the divisions if they didn't have all their stoopid corrupt alphabet things. Guess they feel they can make more money billing more fights as "world championships"...it could be like wrassling where there's a different "world champion" in all the different parts of the country and the world.

Many boxers are masters of doing this to their opponents - Holyfield is notorious for it. Tyson said he bit Holyfield's ear because he was angry that Holyfield was deliberately trying to cut him with headbutts. Both Cotto and Judah cut each other that way in their fight.Last edited by Steelhammer86; 06-17-2007, 03:22 PM.

On a sidenote, I was a bit disappointed when I saw Juan Carlos Gomez only managed a UD over Bakhtov. It does look he he won every round though, in fairness. It looks like he may well get some sort of title shot sometime in the near future.
WBC-President Sulaiman: “I know Juan very well from the time when he was WBC Cruiserweight Champion. He is one of the most talented boxers of our time. I am convinced that if he is able to focus on training and fighting he can beat every heavyweight in the world today.”
Manager Ahmet Öner would love to see Gomez in a WBA eliminator with Nikolai Valuev to become the mandatory challenger for World Champion Ruslan Chagaev. But new WBO Champion Sultan Ibragimov seems to be interested in fighting Gomez as well…
