    Yes. Half of their top 15 hws aren't even top 30 HWs. That includes Flores and Bryan. It's absolutely shameful they are fighting for even a sham belt.

    He may very well be good, but has beaten absolutely no one to demonstrate that. He doesn't even deserve to be ranked in the top 30 HWs at this stage.

    According to veteran scribe Norm Frauenheim, who was ringisde, Bryan dropped Flores six times in the contest and there was even a seventh knockdown which came after the bell in one of the rounds.

    Isnt every fight in any weight at any time for a WBA belt of some sort? People are complaining the streets are littered with WBA belts, i saw in the paper somebody found a WBA belt in their supermarket microwave meals. And apparently micro plastics come 2nd to WBA belts lying on the floor of the worlds seas.

    there will never be more than one world, and thus only one world title available from a body.

    Because these parasitic sanctioning bodies just make up meaningless belts to pad their revenues.

    The WBA and WBC often take turns seeing which one can get away with the most nonsense.

    Breazeale v Molina for WBC mandatory?

    I raise you Flores v Bryan!

    Your turn WBC.....




    The problem is, they're both actually are capable of enforcing the correct fights.

    WBC - Garcia v Porter (1 v 2)
    WBA - Joshua v Povetkin (Champ v 1)

    So, I just heard BJ got bounched off the canvas again. This time without it starting with a low blow.

    Does anyone have footage of the fight?

    This thread should be called: "Why does anyone in 2018 care about any ABC title, ever?"
