If tank wins cant he activate a mando vs taylor

No. WBA Super champ has no mandatories unless ordered by the WBA which to my knowledge doesn't happen very often. The WBA Super belt and the WBC Franchise belt operate in a very similar fashion. I don't and can't understand why one belt gets so much shyt yet the other one gets a complete pass when they have the same set of rules.

Manny had been inactive and the fights he were tied to were not up to the WBA standards for a super champ. They told him to either A. Unify or B. Fight a fighter in the top 10 of their ranking system. First he tried to fight Conor McGregor, that fell through. Then he tried to fight Ryan Garcia, he is a lightweight and that fell through. He was going to fight Mikey Garcia, which would have satisfied the top 10 rankings part, but that fight didn't happen because a better oppurtunity to fight Crawford apparently came up which would have been a unification, but that fight was dead in the water because Crawford didn't sign the contract. Now he is fighting Spence which, if he still had the Super belt, would be a unification between the #1 and , should be #2, #3 ranked WW's but Pacquiao was taking too long to find a suitable opponent so he was named champion in recess, and Yordenis Ugas was promoted to the Super champion. Now that Pacquiao is fighting a fight against Spence people are saying he should be reinstated as the Super champ and alot of people have no problem with Ugas going back to regular because a lot of people don't put respect on Ugas as Super champ since Pac isn't retired and Ugas didn't beat him for his belt.

I see both sides of the argument.

Oh. Well until the WBA officially announces anything it is all here say. I don't like the fact Manny basically bullshytted around naming out trash fights as title defenses for a while, but he finally did try to unify with Crawford and finally is going to fight Spence. If Crawford would have gotten the fight I would of had no problem with Pac being reinstated, which as far as I know and will stand corrected if proven wrong, since Pac is champion in recess and Ugas has not defended the Super belt yet, Pacquiao can. Pacquiao vs Spence or Crawford had A LOT more meaning with a belt than without it, especially since Pacquiao has never actually been a unified champ to my knowledge.

Pac shouldn’t reinstated. If he is, it’s solely for financial reasons.

I’m actually surprised the wba hasn’t officially reinstated him. You know they want in on this fight, which is one of the biggest fights of the year.
