    I am just going by what it is officially called. Talked about as a world title belt so I just go with it.

    No I don't. I'm not sure why you are looking for an argument here but I was just making a point, pundits, boxing websites and such report these titles as official world titles.

    On the Hearn matter I saw an interview with him and Kugan where Kugan told him that Thurman was elevated and Hearn seemed surprised. Genuine? That's for you to decide your own opinion. Every time I have seen an article on the matter of Quigg, he is described as WBA world champion. All pundits are paid to talk up the fighters that are fighting under the banner of the promotional company and therefore refer to them as world champions.

    At the end of the day I am not defending the WBA idea, I think it is terrible but I am just describing something as it is spoke about in the media and reported on, that's all.

    Yes Frampton did but more so as a way to get under his skin. Hearn didn't know Thurman was WBA 'regular' champion and that's why in interviews he had referred to him as not a champion. Whether he believes Quigg is a champion I don't know and I don't really care.

    Start a thread about Carl Froch and his WBA belt, and sure enough along comes the clown with 2000 posts in 5 minutes to turn it into a Frampton/Quigg thread.

    I'm not going with the opinions of anyone. Merely stating a few things, I don't understand your obsession to argue when I really haven't disagreed with anything you have said, maybe you do just want to have a moan about certain fighters, however that's not my way, praise the ones you like forget the ones you don't in my opinion, which differs massively to many on here who praise their favourites but slate anyone who they don't particularly like for no apparent reason.
