Comments Thread For: WBC Orders Tournaments For Floyd Mayweather's Belts

[IMDAZED]

it's just a matter of time before Danny is the new WBC 147 champ, some people been predicting his first loss for a few years now, i bet they still predicting...

He's heavily slept on. Out of all the welters, I give him a great shot...because he takes a great shot. And that may be the difference with all of these heavy hitters vying for the throne.

Pacquiao vs khan, lets do it!

Boxing needs this in the worst way and it needs to be all fighters who are available within the top ten, regardless of promoters and network. There shouldn't be nothing to negotiate either. The winner of each fight gets a certain guaranteed amount and the loser gets a certain guaranteed amount. Also, this tournament should not drag on for 3 years. Have two of the fights on the same card or within a week of each other. And it should be fighters that are young and in their prime. Fighters in their 30's shouldn't be considered as the expectation would not be for them to be the face of boxing for years to come.

I won wonder will they consider a tournament for the 155 title?

Watch this turn into a boxing politic parade. Hands down this tournament should be optional to the top 6 fighters in the division, with everyone who doesn't want to partake forfeiting their spot to the next guy up the rung until we get a solid six opponents sans the promoter bullshhh.

Manny Pacquiao was removed from the WBC Rankings due to medical reasons. Now that Pacquiao has been cleared to fight, it is expected that Pacquiao will replace Robert Garcia at Number 4 in the Welterweight Rankings.

WBC Rankings would therefore be

1. Amir Khan
2. Danny Garcia
3. Shawn Porter
4. Manny Pacquiao
5. Robert Garcia

Super welterweight WBC rankings

1 .- Jermell Charlo (US)
2 .- John Jackson (****** Islands)
3 .- Vanes Martirosyan (Armenia)
4 .- Anthony Mundine (Australia) SILVER
5 .- Austin Trout (US)
6 .- Julian Williams (US) AMERICA
7 .- Jorge Cota (Mexico)
8 .- Sergey Rabchenko (Belarussia)
9 .- Joshua Clottey (Ghana)
10 .- Cedric Vitu (France) EBU

Looks like a Charlo Williams fight in final - that'd be cool

WBC welterweight rankings

1 .- Amir Khan (GB) SILVER
2 .- Danny Garcia (US)
3 .- Shawn Porter (US)
4 .- Robert Guerrero (US)
5 .- Brandon Rios (US)
6 .- Konstantin Ponomarev (Russia) NABF
7 .- Andre Berto (US)
8 .- Ray Robinson (US)
9 .- Alfonso Gomez (Mexico)
10 .- Sammy Vasquez Jr (US)
11 .- Sadam Ali (US)
12 .- Charles Manyuchi (Zimbabwe) ABU/INTL
13 .- Charlie Navarro (Venezuela)
14 .- Gianluca Branco (Italy) EBU
15 .- Errol Spence (US)

Ali and Spence need to get themselves into th etop ten quickly - those would be my two finalists.

Khan "who needs a belt?"

A tournament...why not just get 1 & 2 in the ring in each divisions? A tournament is just gonna keep the title vacant for 6mos to a year depending on how big it is (assume 4 ppl, but I remember them talking about a 8man tournament awhile back so who knows).

4man tournament @ 147 looks fun & 100% doable since their all Haymon guys.
1. Amir Khan vs 4. Robert Guerrero
2. Danny Garcia vs 3. Shawn Porter

4man tournament @ 154 looks less fun, but very doable again cuz 3 outta 4 are Haymon guys
1. Jermell Charlo vs 4. Anthony Mundine
2. John Jackson vs 3. Vanes Martirosyan

There should be no more than 4 fighters in the tournament. If we have Ten, it would take 2.5 years to get to the final.
