And the new WBA Featherweight "Ultra Champion" is...

Haha, ridiculous eh? It's why I try and ignore the sanctioning bodies these days.

 

WBA as you pointed out can make you a Super Champion without you actually having any other belt.If you have more to your name and reputation(such as Mosley),they'll make you Super Champ because you have a big name and it makes them seem better represented amongst the sanctioning bodies.Same reason they'll make Interim,Regular,Super,Super Duper Champ(All one belt). It's their belt and it means more sanctioning fees.

 

Or they can have an "Interim Super Champion" while John recovers from his injury....ridiculous? :yep

 

or super champ in recess

 

Gamboa will be an interim super champion, the reg. title will then be vacant, Caballero will be promoted to that belt, then there will be a new interim champion, so, 4 champs. Then they will follow the lead of the WBC and introduce a diamond and silver belt, and possibly even a bronze belt for their mandatory contenders.

7 champs, and all within the realms of possibility. mostly.

 

You can't unify a WBA ordinary world title.

Obviously that's according to their rulebook, so doesn't mean an exception won't be allowed by next week....

 

What a farce, there should be one champion only.

 

Then Chris John will be stripped and made champion in recess, and someone else will fight for the vacant title, while the regular champion is forced to fight the emeritus champion within a month or be stripped, while the regular champion is allowed to remain inactive for 2 years.

 

I thought that was the case. Have you read that in their rulebook recently then? (Not that I expect you to brush up on this stuff weekly)

 

I'm pretty sure fairly recently, though it's hard to keep track as you say.

 

super champions are just a scam from the WBA to make more money.. the more champions the more fees they can charge boxers

:hat

 

OMG, you uncovered their scam! You should be an investigative journalist or something....
