The offers from Arum and King were too bad. Kohl said no way. Felix waits either for a mandatory challenge fight or as long as the WBO will take away Hopkins' belt.

So a fight Hopkins vs. Eastman would be logic.

mandatory for what? he doesnt have a belt.

He's obviously hoping he goes up in the rankings.

This could just be haggling over money though. I am sure that Hop would rather take on Sturm than Eastman, easier fight on paper.

excuse my english. i wanted to say that he waits until Hopkins has to fight him in a mandatory fight.

i want having a pop Bib I didnt know if he had another belt at all was all.

If Hopkins vacates the WBO or is stripped Eastman v Sturm is a good match. I can see Sturm outworking Eastman to be honest.

did you guys recognize that the wbc put Trinidad in front of Eastman? that´s unfair IMO.

but the WBC also have said that Eastman is still the mandatory even though Trinidad is at #1

i have the feeling that these guys are more corrupt than the WBO. why e.g. did they rank Meehan at #5?

because he signed with don king

that feeling could be right Bubi!!!

Danny Williams is #7. though i´m no fan of him i would say it is a shame that he is behind Meehan who didn´t do nothing but losing to Brewster.....

The WBC have become flagrant in the ridiculousness of their rankings in recent years, but let's face it, most of the sanctioning bodies base their rankings on their associations with certain promoters, and how much money people can generate for them in sancioning fees.

it has something to do with the Tyson-Meehan-fight next year I think. because the WBC wants Tyson to face Vitali. so Tyson would have a better ranking....
