Can anyone justify Morales' getting a title shot?

morales nearly beat maidana who is top 5 in the division. matthysse is one of the top contenders. this title bout is being fought by some legitimate super lightweights, albeit a dubious circumstance considering what happened to bradley.

 

how does Morales deserve the title shot and not Maidana?

 

maidana is already scheduled to fight someone else for an HBO payday, that trumps a title shot. too bad he will be getting his ass whipped that night.

you need to stop worrying about morales and figure out why your rehab buddy has pulled out of saturdays bout.

 

Sulaiman released this statement today concerning Bradley: (from fightnews)

By Jose Sulaiman/WBC President
As president of the WBC, I feel that I should make a brief press note in answer to several criticisms received from some writers in regards to the Timothy Bradley case. Bradley is a great fighter and a pride of the WBC. We gave him first the opportunity before any other even noticed him, and he has won the WBC title twice. The WBC is a not-for-profit organization that has its rules, which should be abided by, if any boxer wants to become a WBC Champion.
There are traffic laws that are respected: if you don’t stop at a red light, you are violating the law and will be fined. If you don’t have a driving license you should not drive, or you will be fined. If you issue a check without funds, that is fraud.
Our rules for champions state that each champion should defend the title at least three times a year and when you reach six months of inactivity, the title might be withdrawn, The WBC wrote three times to Timothy, and neither he nor his representatives wrote back, nor have they announced at any time any scheduled fight at all to defend his title. They seemed not to care that there are many other classified boxers who wish to contend for the title, which the champion has frozen.
However, the WBC did not “stripâ€￾ Bradley. We declared him still “champion in recessâ€￾ so that he will have the doors of the WBC opened for when he is able to return, while we declared the active championship vacant with the new champion to fight Bradley when he returns to boxing.
As simple as that.

who is Maidana fighting?

 

robert guerrero

 

good thing he cleared that up!

 

Yeah. It's one thing to follow rules, but I would be amazed if the WBC acted consistently in this regard. Bradley should have gotten back to the WBC, but it seems pretty apparent that the WBC wanted Morales to get his at bat. Bradley should have just played along and fought Morales.

Anyway, there aren't many champions who defend 3x a year and I'm sure there are a lot fewer who the WBC strips after 6 months of 'inactivity.' Oh yeah, he wasn't stripped, he just had his status changed. Instead of the emeritus crap after 6 months, they should have gone the interim route, imo.

 

how can you type this and then dare try to argue with me about how the sanctioning bodies are good for the sport?

clown

 

seriously, man, you are not bright.

just because something is a net positive, doesn't mean it is a complete positive. it ain't that hard to figure out if you aren't brain dead.

'good for the sport' is not the same thing as 'good for the sport in every way'.

Another example...you might be a positive for this site because you post a lot and you watch a lot of boxing so you aren't ignorant, but you are a complete disaster for the site when it comes to anything requiring more than a speck of analytical insight because then your posts are nothing but retarded drivel.

So how do we improve you as a poster? Well, the easiest way is just to teach you to refrain (that means 'stop') from posting about sanctioning bodies for starters. We'll expand it from there.

How do we improve sanctioning bodies? We point out the things they do wrong and try to get them to change their ways.

 

Oh, shut the fuck up, you moron

Listen to you, talking about letting the sanctioning bodies know whats wrong so they can correct the problem... I know nothing about sanctioning bodies?

Listen, if you are so goddamn ignorant about this subject that you are unable to see that Jose Suliaman is one of the biggest goddamn crooks ever associated with a sport that has had plenty of crooks then there is no point in even discussing the matter any further

Were we to make a detailed record of every completely ridiculous opinion you have stained this forum with, we would exhaust the site's bandwith

Hey, who wins in a fight, Mr. Analyst, Terry Norris or Marvin Hagler?

You're a joke, mIKE

 

Bradley-Morales would be a disaster

 

From fightnews.

ol.

 

Despite the Super Titles, SUB Titles & Youth Titles, the BIGGEST Problem w/Sanctioning Bodies is that they MAKE UP RULES ON THE FLY...Why???...Because they're Inherently CORRUPT...

NO Boxing Fan Should B an ADVOCATE of Sanctioning Bodies...

Morales won't be fighting barrios

only a fellow idiot would read his drivel and see brilliance

 

nah, you need to read a book with pictures because you are dumb and sanctioning bodies are a good thing, even though I'm a choad and am unfamiliar with the endless litany of blatantly corrupt things they've done... Double L agrees with me, so I'm clearly right
