    No one even knows what the hell a WBC Franchise Champ is lol. The WBC just created something new out of nowhere and assigned it to Canelo instead of the normal World Title which he was holding. It's a odd designation but it's still a World Title is it not? I mean we have "regular" world title holders not being considered champs, we have interim champs, the whole thing has gotten way out of hand, but at the end of the day Canelo is the Lineal Champ and never lost the legit WBC World Title.

    But you're right that in the court of public opinion if every other belt gets unified now there's always going to be this other step to becoming undisputed due to this Franchise tag. It's an absolute sham for the WBC to do that to Canelo, to basically take away his legit World Title status just like that. If Canelo beats Andrade for the WBO and if GGG beats Derev for the IBF for a Canelo GGG title match to not be seen as for the Undisputed is utterly ridiculous, and it should bother any true fan of the sport.

    You'll fight to your death defending Margarito yet want the blood of Mayweather and Canelo. What's the difference of having trace amounts of PED's in your system and having trace amounts of plaster of Paris in your wraps? Regardless of how these things end up where they do, a fighter is responsible. You fail to understand that. Canelo claims he ate tainted beef, Margarito's coach said he grabbed the wrong wraps and Margo used sweaty lotion. To me, both excuses are weak and both guys needed a more severe punishment. You defending one man and crucifying the other, makes you a hypocrite.

    Agree completely.

    Canelo is the WBC champion as far as I'm concerned and all these "rocky road with sprinkles belts" are just diluting the value of the belt.

    I think Canelo v Andrade and GGG v SD with the winner facing off is a great idea and that means we'll be seeing a unified MW one way or the other come May next year.

    Dchenko prices himself out of a Canelo fight to get an easier fight for the belt in GG

    But even the testing lab found that the trace elements fround pointed to Human sweat NOT plaster The CSAC conveniently omitted that from their press release to try to cover their ass

    You are a real champion only when you dont give a F about belts.

    If you need a belt to make the max out of your money, you are no champion.

    So you are saying Canelo is a ***** for demanding GGG has a belt before they rematch?

    I thought mandatories went to purse bids if they couldn’t work it out.
