How about in the meantime he gives Cerdan a rematch after their draw?

Charles?

Tommy Ryan vs Ezzard Charles?

Sure...let's do it.

Golovkin obviously wants Canelo this week.

Gotta set things straight.

Ok....but you'll need to accept that this fight will be held in Puerto Rico to give the folks there some entertainment in the wake of Irma.

Blatant ducking of a challenge is unbecoming of a titleholder. Even a minor one.

Commissioners...I believe this calls for the removal of Golovkin's MGM Grand status if he won't defend his title with honor.

With the WBO Title now vacant, then yes - Hearns & Monzon are next in line.

What, you can't wait a week for this historic rematch that must be made? Get yourself a coke and relax.

No we can't wait frankly because Nino is too damn good. Another win or two, and he's a contender for the World Titles. He wants that MGM Grand Cup, and he by God wants it now!

As long as we get to keep all the $$$ though.

Julian Jackson will fight Rubin Carter this week.

KETCHEL VACATES.
THE WBO BOARD SANCTIONS A BOUT BETWEEN THOMAS HEARNS AND CARLOS MONZON FOR THE VACANT TITLE.

Monzon accepts this great opportunity to fight for a World Championship.

If you choose to go through with this, then you will be stripped of your MGM status...
And the MGM Grand staff will send around a couple of heavy boys to have a "discussion" with Mr Golovkin which will ultimately end up in him being dumped out the back in a wheelbarrow.

I hope it's comfortable... And that you enjoy the ride.

If Buzz vacates the MGM, Nino Benvenuti and Mike McCallum will be offered the chance to become the Prince of Vegas.

Of course I will take the title shot for Hearns. It was partly why I vacated it in the first place!

If it is okay with everyone else I'm going to match up Holman Williams with Charley Burley and manage the winner for the last ten weeks. Unless there is a rule against it? Will have a look at what CPUs are available for HW if so.

Charley is fighting for the CPU title this week, so he is unavailable to fight. However, if you wish to recruit him you are permitted to do so.
Maybe Williams vs Burley next week then? For a contract with your stable.

Pretty sure Buzz agreed to the Cerdan v Hopkins fight

Ah yes, fight has neen put up.

GODDAMNIT! How come every single time a vacant title comes up Nino's gotta fight Mike McCallum? This is seriously like the 3rd time this same exact matchup has been made as a result of these circumstances.

Forget it. Nino doesn't feel like fighting Mike again.

Nino wants GGG for the MGM Grand Cup or he'll fight somebody else.

Seems like it'd be a good week to avenge the loss to Tito Trinidad if we can't get the fight we want.

McCallum doesn't want to fight Nino either, he'll fight Shane Mosley instead

maybe Bivins can fight for the MGM?

Well in that case maybe Nino will fight whoever's next in line after Mike McCallum

No offense Mike. We can fight a 3rd time later maybe, but I've seen enough of you for now...especially when we keep just kinda be forced into fights with each other through circumstances beyond our control

Nino will fight GGG or whoever is next in line after Mike for the MGM Grand Cup.

GBP is bigger than these silly belts.....we are the champion of champions. And we simply want to bring reality to the sim. Golovkin vs Canelo is the right fight at the right time.

However...since we are being openly threatened....and bullied around......we KNOW that our friend Gilgamesh will demand that we be allowed to freely choose our fights......as he has made it clear that such choices are very important to him.

With this in mind.....if the powers that be will not rescind their threat to strip an honest champion of his MGM belt, and Gilgazilla decides to be the ULTIMATE HYPOCRIT and NOT withdraw his demand to face GGG, then we will simply beat the Bejabbers out of Nino, and then drop the belt to face Canelo.


The right thing to do, is that the powers that be drop their petty demands, and allow a champ to take the BEST fight....rather than a fight they wish to see, and Gilgizmotron should pull out and DEMAND that GGG be allowed to fight anyone he wishes...AND keep the belt....AND get a bonus.


If people do the WRONG thing, and remain petty....then yes......GGG will smack the snotbox off of this fella NoNo Bendarooni.

You know what Buzz...you've convinced me.

Convinced me that Nino deserves that crack at the MGM Grand Cup more than he had originally thought. As usual your "Champion" is trying to pull a gutless move by taking on an unmanaged opponent, and passing it off as a legitimate title defense. Poor form Buzz, poor form.

Bivins will take on Randy Sandy

Mickey Walker will take on Pernell Whitaker to settle a draw from early this season

Bob Fitzsimmons will fight Nigel Benn

Archie Moore will fight Jake LaMotta

Sandro Mazzinghi will fight Gianfranco Rosi
