Trout-Mundine looking very unlikely

Says so in all records...WBA, BOXREC, boxing writers and officials all round the world call it the world title...it's not just me making this up

Cotto has the super champ title...he's not in the WBA rankings system nor mandatory system...super champ will never be forced to participate in a fight with the World Champ...the super champ belt is for idle big names looking for super fights

The WBA World title belt is the real deal...the WBA super champ belt is for extra sanction fees as is the interim belt unless used in the case of an injured champ

Now if the superchamp had to fight the World title holder then I would agree but fact it he doesnt

Fact is the interim belt is more legit because its in the system and a fighter can force a fight with the World Title holder...now that's fair play inside a regulated system

Unlike the World title holder cant force a fight with the super champ...now it's clear thats not a fair system

So as far as being a belt that can be won and challenged through a point system the super champ belt has less credibility

Yes Cotto is the better fighter...however fact is though the belt was created so a fighter like cotto can have a belt and not defend it unless he wants to...and he can pick who its against...now that's not legit is it?

Hopefully some of the proceeds from the next KO to Drugs show can be made available to get you off whatever substance you were on when you wrote this....

Also in regards to the crazy amount of belts, I feel one difference to the past is weight divisions. There really is no need for cruiser, sup mid, light mid etc

Disagree with you to some extent mate, although it has always been the red-headed step-child of boxing, Cruiser is a necessary division due to the difference from 175 to todays big boys as is super-middle. You can make an argument for light-middle too but some of the lower weight divisions are just a bit too much for my liking....

How do you change thread titles? Trout-Mundine no longer looking very likely.

the fight wont happen. it never was intended to.

do you really think mundog wants to get flogged in front of 20,000 screaming fans having orgasms at seeing mundog shredded?

wont happen. the gravy train will keep on carrying bums.

He's hardly a proud Aussie but to each their own.

Absolutely.

I support the fighter I like more, I don't give a **** where he comes from.



Oh, and to all you other muppets, Geale will beat Martinez when they meet.

I agree, remove Light Flyweight (108lbs) / Super Flyweight (115lbs) / Super Bantam (122lbs) / Super-Feather (130lbs) and Light Welter (140lbs) for a start.

Agree. I don't understand why people support a sportsman just because you are from the same country. They are just a human being like anyone from another country. If Shane Warne or lleyton Hewitt weren't Australian we would all hate their guts but morons support/like them just because their Australian And that chant " aussie,aussie,aussie,oi oi oi" makes us all look like bogans imo. I hate it.

Reckon you're on the money here Stiflers.

Does Mundine want this fight or not?

[Lead Right]

But it would be a different title to the rest

We need less titles. Not more.
