MANDO NOTE: This week is the turn of the IBF. And the Mando Challenger is Roberto Duran.
If any World Champion defends against The Number One Contender of their title rankings, their mando title defense will be moved back to its next rotation.

SECONDARY NOTE: If Langford refuses to fight Duran, he will be stripped of his World Title, yet he will still maintain his Lonsdale Belt - until such time that he loses a fight.

UNIFICATION NOTE: Floyd Mayweather Jr has now defended his World Title three times and is eligible for unification.

[Crease]

Arguello calls out Mayweather.

They've never fought and we believe that any such contest would be a perfect blend of Arguello's attacking threat and Mayweather's defensive mastery.

Could be a good'un.

[witherspoon]

Ken Buchanan calls out Tony Canzoneri.
Esteban will wait to see if a title shot comes along.

[Tomasino]

Joe Gans calls out Sam Langford for a rematch

Battling Nelson will fight anyone not named Pernell

[armageto]

Duran accepts his mando shot against Langford.

Angott will take on Julio Diaz

[Fist of Legend]

IT'S TIME FOR UNIFICATION!

Floyd Mayweather Jr. Challenges Benny Leonard to the first Unification bout of the season and its a perfect time to settle the Draw from earlier in the season.

If Leonard rejects the fight, Mayweather will give Arguello a shot.

[baron_otto]

Ike Williams wants Welsh

Corrales calls out Wolgast

[BoxBuzz]

Pernell will fight one...or even ALL of these pretenders who hang on to top ratings by fighting gas bags.

Including

1. Esteban Dejesus totally a sham runs from Pernell week after week after week.
2. Ismael Laguna.....who is obviously hiding behind that tampon he calls a championship belt. Let it go, get real
3. Calfornia Jackie Wilson....who is obviously hiding behind that tampon he calls a championship belt. Let it go, mix it up with someone with a pulse.
4. Floyd Mayweather.....WBC champion? seriously? How's about a dance with yo' daddy?
5. Sam Langford.....got off scott free with a robbery "draw" from sweet pea this week to hold on to his jewels. Let's play it again sam.....But you've already declined cuz yer skeered.
6. Henry Armstrong......a sham of a champ, who simply "inherited" a belt we tossed out last week. Maybe it's time to face it's rightful owner?
7. Alexis Arguello cmon Crease, you can't keep your man runnin forever.

AND

Roberto Duran.....well, we'll fight him, but not all that enthusiastic about it. We just don't have any differences with this fighter....he always takes the big fights.
We know he'll be there when it matters....

No one is as fast, no one is as pretty, and no one is as first class as the "P".

Who's going to jump forward and take their beating? Let's do this.

[HyacinthusTurnipseed]

Kid Lewis calls out Laguna (Controversial) to finish what almost started last week. Or he is open to a Fernandez ('Frilla) rematch. Otherwise I'll likely pick a CPU for him in a couple of days.

Pacquiao will gladly fight anyone.

[DaveyMac]

Ken Buchanan calls out Tony Canzoneri.
Esteban will wait to see if a title shot comes along.

DeJesus want a shot at the WBA belt?

[DaveyMac]

IT'S TIME FOR UNIFICATION!

Floyd Mayweather Jr. Challenges Benny Leonard to the first Unification bout of the season and its a perfect time to settle the Draw from earlier in the season.

If Leonard rejects the fight, Mayweather will give Arguello a shot.

Does Mayweather have enough defenses?

[DaveyMac]

California Jackie Wilson would like to avenge his early season loss to Rodolfo Gonzalez

yes he does.

California Jackie Wilson would like to avenge his early season loss to Rodolfo Gonzalez

He already avenged it in week 19 (UD12) according to your Fighter Records post. Why not give Pacquiao a chance to avenge his early loss to Wilson?

[witherspoon]

Ken Buchanan calls out Tony Canzoneri.
Esteban will wait to see if a title shot comes along.

DeJesus want a shot at the WBA belt?

Yes he does.

[DMA1987]

Signed.

Langford looks forward to fighting Duran.

[Techno89]

Ike Williams wants Welsh

Welsh accepts

Packey McFarland calls out Hilmer Kenty

[BigJuicyHog]

Chavez and Ambers are both looking for fights.

[Tomasino]

Chavez and Ambers are both looking for fights.

How about a stable war? Gans vs Chavez.......

[HyacinthusTurnipseed]

crickets chirping.......

What about Pacquiao vs. Whitaker?

[BoxBuzz]

crickets chirping.......

What about Pacquiao vs. Whitaker?

Are people running from your guy too? What is with these "champs"?

I didn't throw your name out in the mix, because your not currently a champion, or someone who has disrespected us.

Now...if you could get some disrespect going....you would likely get a response from Sweet Pea.

But if your going to conduct yourself in a civil fashion, Im not sure that's going to work.

Besides, in all due respect, Whitaker would mop the floor with PacMan.

I of course mean this in the nicest way possible.

[HyacinthusTurnipseed]

It's up to you. Sweet Peal can get his bell rung by Pacquiao or you can continue to wait on Armstrong (plausible) or Laguna (unlikely - I know I wouldn't put him in with Whitaker while he is in the top 15 without a title on the line). The rest of the guys on your list are pretty much spoken for by the look of it.
