If another year passes before the former champ returns, then I don't even think they should get an immediate title shot.
This is obviously just my opinion, but I think it is more than fair. |
If it wasn't Cruz then I would understand. But he's defended the belt 4 times after winning it. With all of those fights against the best in the division. If he were able to come back and defend it again, then he would cement himself in history as one of the best fighters (atleast IMO).
