I agreed with a lot of what you say about the best fighters not always getting the shot... Look at when Amir Khan got knocked out for the first time against prescott and then his next fight was a WBA International Title fight with Marco Barrera, who they knew he would beat but no one would question the credibility to get him ranked higher with the WBA and set him up for his WBA World Title win against Andriy Kotelnik..

It's called business....

However... and this is a big however

The reason this is not the same with Andy Howson's WBC World Title Shot is because he has dropped to 53.5kg to fight for this world Title after winning world titles at 55kg.. No one can deny Andy is World Class and even stronger at Bantamweight.. He lost to Dean at Super Bantamweight 55kg.

All the correct procedures were followed and the WBC are certainly not handing out the belts even if they are to top fighters.

If anything promoters like myself put the requests in and for World Titles if it is vacant it is sent to 3 national committees across the world for example WBC Italy, WBC France, WBC USA and if there are no direct objections the Rankings committee in thailand approve the fight providing the fighters are ranked in the top 20 of the WBC.

Andy and his opponent both qualified with out objection. The winner will have mandatory defences and the WBC are hot on this and if Titles are not defended they are put in recess and forced to either fight the winner of an eliminator or relinquish the title

Regards

Back on topic.. lol :)

PS.... Paulo V Dan is gonna be fight of the year on the UK Domestic Scene.. I cant wait
