Hankey was 20 plus pounds heavier. And Ortiz is the same height as the guys too<\/p>\n

the ibf drop this clause for unifications i think, otherwise we may never see any undisputed guys at all lol<\/p>\n
the rules are too hodge podge, the ibf mean well by trying to make sure guys are around the same weight but it needs a unified all orgs approach and noone seems interested at all<\/p>\n
why not just weight them shortly before<\/p>\n

\u201cNot when agreeing to the fight, no. I\u2019d never fought for an IBF title. I just didn\u2019t know. I was only told by my team a few weeks before the fight.<\/p>\n
\u201cYet had I known about that clause, hand on heart, I wouldn\u2019t have accepted that fight. I mean, you want to know why guys like Vergil Ortiz<\/p>\n

with boots ennis as wbc NO1 contender he could easily fight ortiz for his interim belt<\/p>\n
and then sort if out with fundora when the wbc combine the interim and full champs<\/p>\n
all these orgs with their money making belts at least the wbc franchise crap is gone, but not without a fight lol<\/p>\n
