List the worst WBA Sanctioning decisions

they also havnt stripped mayweather 5 months after he announced his retirement and with holding titles in 2 weights , it helps to be american

 

The fact they have 3 versions of a world title tells you enough about the WBA. They're awful

 

Even thinking about it from a "WBA point of view" this decision makes no sense. Lebedev hasn't been upgraded to Super champ and 2 guys not ranked in the top 15 go straight in for the Super title. EH>??!

Froch getting stripped of the "Regular belt" for inactivity whilst Ward remained/remains Champ is another one.

Also don't understand how Fury won a WBO final eliminator, but it was the WBA who called the purse bid for him to fight Wlad. Totally bypassing Chagaev.

Perez having a mandatory fight against Crolla not his actually number 1 contender whilst Matthews - the interim champ - has to defend his number 1 slot in a mandatory. Again EH?!

Mayweather remains the WBA champ at 154 despite not defending the title in about 2 years.

Some needs to do a Rid**** Bowe and stick that belt in the trash.

 

That and everyone knows he's not really retired

 

Yup, the two interim champions incident summed them up. Tried explaining that to people at work, they're just wtf are you on about

 

maybe but they already bent the rules to allow him to hold titles in 2 weights at the same time, they allowed him defend his 154 belt under the 147 limit and they havnt stripped him for not defending his belt in 2 years

and to your point its just bad practice and makes no sense. If you had a worker and he told you he was retired , you wouldn't then weight a year to employ someone else because they might come back

 

Rigo should feel hard done by imo.

Clearly the best in the division, but unable to get the fights he deserves due to lack of exposure outside the sport, and the other big names in the division running scared.

Quigg won't be let near him with the prospect of a big money fight with Frampton on the horizon.

Santa Cruz maybe looking at another division, possibly to avoid Rigo ?

Wee Barry and Co will never let the golden goose near Rigo, they'd rather keep talking about 'A' sides, and milking a captive audience by feeding him bums.

 

"midway updated rankings" so Fraudley vs Haye could take place.

Ward and Sturm never having to fight a single #1 contender.

Quigg from "interim" for beating Munroe, upgraded to "regular" for drawing with Salinas (currently just inside the top 100).

Almost everything involving Guillermo Jones (Panama :hey).
