    Super Lightweight:

    Real Champ: Terence Crawford - won 1 of his titles away, the other at home

    Haymon Paper Champ: Adrien Broner - won all 4 of his titles at home

    Real champion has yet to be crowned. I think Postol has the best argument, but it surely isn't Crawford whose best win at that weight is currently Thomas Dulorme.

    No they really don't hate him for that. Nobody made thread after thread about Arum putting on **** fest like Loma vs his last 3 opponents or Manny vs Rios or Algieri.

    But these guys dig deep like private investigators to "expose" what they believe they know about Haymon and thats the difference.
    They attack Haymons ***ual orientation or what the rumors are, but defend Oscars open pictures of him being a blatant cross dresser.

    Subtle racism and open racism is still racism.

    Why fight a real one when you can get a Salka for the same?

    I like Jacobs alright but he's not a champ. Why are we pretending he is?

    Al is almost done lining his pockets with Waddel and Reed money. Just a few more months and Operation Destroy Boxing will be complete.

    Theoretical matchups aside his resume has one good name on it and thats Quillin who is who Lemieux tier. Not that this even matters because his belt isn't a real belt which is what this thread is about.

    I'm not calling into question the legitimacy of either fighters belt. Just what the belts are. Golovkin holds the World title while Jacobs holds a belts that makes him a contender.

    There were way more evenly matched fights than now, I don't know how you can argue against that. We are being served way too much sh!t at the moment.

    I was referring to the way in which the belts were obtained. You can beat the #1 HW for the EBU title but in the end it's not a World title. Even if you beat better competition to get it than the guys who got the world titles.

    This thread isn't about resumes or who should and should not be world titlist. It's about world titles and Jacobs does not have one of those.

    Pacquiao Bradley III is a more exciting fight than #2 was.

    Anyone assuming Pacqiuao is going to win and just brushes this fight will probably be disappointed.
