Witter and the WBC

When is Junior going to get his title shot already???

Hes not getting any younger...and any word on the Floyd situation...is he vacating the belt to stay at welter or what?

Junior USED to be a force to be reckoned with, I havent seen much of him lately but from what Ive heard about the Kotelnik fight he hasnt exactly been improving.

witter just isn't getting the opportunities is he.

IF he was offered the cotto fight, he should have damn well taken it and asked no questions.

i thought the branco fight was ordered by the wbc, but it seems to have gone a bit quiet.

Junior has to fight Branco in a final Eliminator, doesn't he? Witter's WBC ranking is going to be eerily similar to Eastman's, if you ask me: A good fighter with absolutely no clout, his shot at the title can be delayed for as long as the WBC want.

And yes, Witter looks to be on the slide, although perhaps not because of the Kotelnik fight, as Kotelnik just had a good win. The Lynes performance is the worrying one.

Branco pulled out of fighting Cotto and was supposed to be originally so Witter should be given a straight shot and if Floyd vacates then Witter Vs someone for the vacant title.

Plus he beat N'dou in an eliminator.

That is exactly the situation.
