    Ward is the Super champion whilst Froch holds the Mickey Mouse version of the belt which no one takes too seriously

    Nope. Both fight for the "Super" belt wich means there's 2 of them, plus a "Regular" and an "Interim" around wich are the Mickey Mouse versions you're talking about.

    Now we may even get Holy vs Windmiller for the Regular HW strap.
    The WBA is a joke, just leave it at that.

    You have to unify the WBA regular title with another major belt to become super champion I believe. So in theory Froch is super champion as well as Ward. Things get very complicated.

    Wards no longer a unified champ, doesn't he get relegated to regular?

    Both of Frochs belts are Mickey Mouse.

    Andre Ward is the Champion.

    The Ring mag even after all the criticism still has the best championship criteria. By far.

    Ward is the champ, simple as. Anyone else claiming to be is a pretender or in reality if they're good enough a contender.
