    Nathan Cleverly vs Polski Averageski must be one of them.

    I like that one Cottos profile, they list on his achievements:

    WBA Light Middleweight
    WBA Super Welterweight Champion

    These are boxing people you know. They know their onions.

    Academic I know but I've always preferred "light" or "junior" to "super".

    Same.

    Junior annoys me a little bit as well but super just sounds weird. Expecially once the WBA made up their super world championship. Is Cotto the WBA Super World Super Welterweight World Champion now? :think

    Actually no. Take back what I said. Super is fine at most weights. It's Super Featherweight not Junior Lightweight.


    Heavy, Cruiser, Light Heavy, Super Middle, Middle, Light Middle, Welter, Light Welter, Light, Super Feather, Feather, Super Bantam, Bantam, Super Fly, Fly, Light Fly, Straw

    Way too many divisions anyway :-(

    I'm not so much arsed about the number of weights, I think a lot of them are needed, its the number of champs/ belts at each weight that is the real problem IMHO.

    I bet youd like only one lineal championship aswell you elitist *****. Why is it unreasonable to have 70 odd champions it means more people get a chance at glory many of whom would never get a chance at getting a belt and thats nice.
