This thread has indeed run it's course and I hav said throughout the thread, I don't think anyone is disputing his talent.

First though Stevie - I'm not a promoter so why would I want to promote an Alexio fight?

Second - While boxing is very different from full contact, if a champion doesn't get the money he wants for his defense, then whichever, if any, promoters wish to promote the fight go to a purse bid.

Now if there isn't one promoter who is now or was willing in 1999 to promote an Alexio fight (beside's himself) then the sport was and is in much worse shape then I thought. I don't doubt that but it is a sad thing when you have a champion like Alexio who cant defend his title because nobody is willing to put up at least the IKF's minimum purse.

I final thought - Don't you think it would be better to have an active champion instead of one who hasn't fought in 4 years? I mean - Even Ali got stripped of his title......I understand the lack of promoters with funds puts you in a tough spot but if you are going to sanction bouts and make champions, then shouldn't you find a way to make sure the champions fight?
