As a former titlist, with several successful defences and a controversial loss of his beloved WBA strap, Mr Johnson feels the 'slap and stomp' tour should be reserved for those looking to 'work their way up' and not for those 'already there'.

Bob Stardust will be happy to take your calls, in due course as we would gladly look forward to relieving Maxie of any shiny, sparkly title belts, should he acquire said baubles in the coming weeks.

We'll 'watch this space'.
Well if HaroldJohnson is going to run like a rabbit.....Maxie will face Bunny Johnson this week........a rabbit with stones. Pull yourself to pieces and fight Maxie next week. He's rated above Harold for a reason........
Corporate malfeasance. The Great Harold, former WBA World Champ should always be in the top echelons.

No matter, we will deal with 'Slapsie' in due course and happily remove any trinkets he should attain, if he is worthy enough in the first instance.

A 'slappa-rat-tat' is guaranteed but as said, we'll pen Maxie down as 'potential' but not quite there yet.

Due course? I think that's what was going on in Baltimore.

So....there be Baltimorons about! The sort that get caught with their bridges down!

Old Slappy himself is seen as the champion of the cheese (Wisconsin?) and is currently highly ranked on the ladder (4th) and it's his turn to shoot the cannon...
Crease, we'd of course would love to scrap.....however Harold Johnson was challenged and ran away....Maxie is currently "stompin and slappin" all Johnson's. He had defeated every Battling Fighter, and now he's defeating all fighters with Johnson's.......so Bunny Johnson is next.....hopefully Harold will find his way to challenging for Cheese Champion Supremacy....so, we'll pencil you in for sometime soon. Of that you can rest assured.

The WBO mandatory is still to be fought. Please give me till Monday/Tuesday to work out the rankings.

Most guys have fought or are scheduled to for this week. Might be worth it to let Spinks fight any ranked opponent on the regular list this week, with the mandatory in week 13?

If so, then Bob Foster is up for the task......... :TU:

If Foster vs Spinks isn't allowed by the WBO commish, then hopefully he can finally topple Julio Gonzalez this week.

If Kevo does not chime in...we would encouage the WBO to consider Foster a live dog for one of Spinks 2 fights this week.

Hold the phone....sounds like Kevo is open to suggestions....which Puts Foster right in the mix.....if P4P1 is open to the idea. Maybe Foster then Moore? In that order? Wait the other way round could put Foster at the very top....lol.

This could only happen if Spinks actually dropped the WBO belt......as belts can not be unified quite yet. soon though.

Foster hasn't been great this year, but at least talent wise he has to be seen as a worth while challenger. Spinks defending against him this week makes sense, then next week the winner takes on the WBO's mandatory. Looking at the rankings, I'd imagine that is Charles.

We'll wait for Kevo and P4P1 to weigh in. With it being Easter weekend, we have time to wait until early next week, I'd figure?

As for Archie Moore, good opponents are flying off the board. I think a selection of any top 20 fighter, or a good non-managed opponent, both would work.

Hell Gibbons is in the top 20, without an opponent. I propose:

Archie Moore vs Gibbons
Spinks vs Foster

Week 13, the Spinks/Foster winner face the #1 WBO contender.

The IBF has a Mando next week as well. They can face the next top rated guy after the WBO gets their #1 in.

Langford beat Bivens, and Maxie fought an unmanaged fighter.

As long as Kevin and P4P1 (being the head of the WBO) agree, we should be set the rest of the fights.

Spinks is supposed to have 2 fights this week.
I haven’t done the full rankings yet but Maxie is going to be Spinks’ mandatory if Buzz agrees. That should be fought before a voluntary defence.

Maxie already fought this week, most fighters did, so he might be better off doing his mandatory next week, plus it gives you time to get the rankings updated.
