I know that there has been many times in the past when the champ would go for a week or more with out defending. i.e. Happy Kilmore and not be stripped. I think that if titles are gonna be stripped there should be a set of guidelines as to how or why a champ is stripped. For example if a champ goes for more than 5 days without defending, he gets stripped period doesnt matter why or who he is. For instance, say you went on Vacation for 2 weeks well then you lost your title and #1 ranked gets it automatically.
This is just my opinion, but just as in the HOF criteria there are no set guidelines, and i think we all know if it would have been Larry, HTF, etc. the belt would not have been stripped so quick, and a defense of a title is a defense of a title doesnt matter who it was against. Cause just like in real boxing the champs very seldom take on the toughest competitors in their division unless its a mandatory. Ok ill shut up now...
yeah about the HOF you are right, but this guy let somebody ko him twice so that he could have sufficient points to title fight. this enabled him to get a certain defense,and stops people having fun by preventing them to have a chance vs him for the title.
