The piece credits Skelly with a bold proposal for a vice-champion championship to fill gaps in titles. It argues such a bracket would pair near champions with champions for decisive bouts, keeping interest alive among fighters like Sharkey, Jeffries era greats, and many midweight to heavyweight contenders.
