He's right.
He's a very good fighter and deserves a shot.

That's what happens when you spend the last three years either not fighting or fighting complete nobodies.

In my opinion, Prograis, Ramirez, and Catteral should get first cracks. Zepeda right after.

[WBC WBA IBF]

He fights once a year. He doesn't hold any international or intercontinental titles. He doesn't hold any gold or silver titles. He hasn't fought any eliminators. Why exactly would he be fighting for a vacant title?

[Chris Hanson]

Zepeda barboza and Prograis deserve a shot. Prograis should sue or go into mma

[bballchump11]

He should get with a major promoter.

Gotta sign with one of the big 3.

So Taylor vacates and the number 1 and 2 guys are fighting for the belt. I don't see a problem with this. As for the WBA belt, Regis is ranked 6th so its highly unlikely he'll get first crack at that. If you look at Regis's fights since the Taylor fight in 2019, he's fought 3 times with one of those times outside the 140 division. Simply put Regis has been too inactive to be marketable or make himself a mandatory, so I don't know what Regis is whingeing about.

Stupid thing to say. Who else could he have fought? and what makes them nobodies? You think a fighter determines who he gets to fight? It is ignorance like this that lets Satanic Bob and the Hearn Incels squeak away and avoid blame... Let me guess these guys want to make the best fights and Regis didn't want that smoke right? Lol. The sheer stupidity in this section lately...
