Nor do you by the sounds of it. You realise he had to sit out for 6m plus of that after a failed drugs test. Yes he got cleared eventually but there will still low levels detected.

Sample was july
In december he fought it wasnt even 6 months at all
He was cleared of ALL charges thats the end of the matter
Regardless of whether he was cleared he hardly came out of it looking good; the old 'unintentional' argument despite this being the second time being caught.
As I said earlier no sympathy for the guy whether he's mandatory or not; he should fight wallin as agreed rather than pulling cheap tricks
and the 3 years prior to the wallin fight? when he was mandatory.........
Mandatory's don't get called every 5 minutes. He was ranked number 1 but unfortunately for him, every time he was close to being called he found a way of ****ing things up. He was subsequently cleared but he failed a drugs test to start (and he and Hearn should have been charged for not disclosing that info to Rivas before the fight) and then he got himself knocked out by Povetin.
If he ends up being screwed over by the WBC then it will be karma for what he's done to Wallin.

Great fight that. Top action. Both fellas left it all in there.
wallin was a voluntary and not even ranked in the WBC top 10, maybe even top 15 I can't recall. He's not owed anything.
I really love Crawford. Seems like a nice quiet guy outside of the ring who just wants to go fishing but inside that ring and when the bell goes, he is one spiteful guy. Brilliant win against Porter. Made a statement there. May have been a weak stoppage but I think his father saved him from himself
Why does the fact he was a voluntary change anything? The fight was still arranged, he's still paid out on a camp and wasted months planning for this fight only for Whyte to ***** on him when he thought the Fury fight was on.
It's karma if that decision comes back to bite Whyte on the backside.
Crawford vs porter was a great fight, porter bought out the best in crawford and definately made him work.
love shawn porter never afraid to fight anyone and always respectful. would have loved to see another few rounds was a weak stoppage but his father saved him.

Wallin literally did the same to someone else recently citing injury. It's just a risk of boxing. Whyte isn't the first person to have pulled out of a fight and he won't be the last
Didn’t fury do it after the Haye fight fell through, against Ustinov if I remember correctly.
Im willing to give Whyte the benefit of the doubt as he is well over due a title shot by now.
I have no idea of the Wallin situation but I don't believe Whyte is injured and if he misses out on a world title shot after screwing somebody over then I have zero sympathy for him.
Not faced errol spence, i knew he would beat Porter
Wallin did the exact same thing of pulling out of a fight against Lucas Browne due to an injury. It happens to boxers all the time so I’m not sure what the big deal is that it happened to Otto Wallin
I always thought Crawford would beat Spence even before the car crash. Errol is big at the weight though

Didn't watch the fight but from the highlights, I can fully understand why he's so highly rated. Against a guy with 3 wins and only 8 losses on his record as well, phenomenal.
