    Yeah......

    Given that the WBA is now nearly as bad as the WBO, Warren may start dealing with them.

    It did seem odd that Khan's fight was ***an needed to be a 12 rounder for a 'title' - why not 10 rounds..... without having to make 135.

    Does Campbell retan super champ status? Or is that only given when it is the fighter himself who has unified (rather than winning the unified title)?

    Is anyone still awake?

    When there is a unified champ I wish the 'bets would get together and sanction proper eliminators so they could agree on one proper, strong mandatory per year.

    No one is going to fight IBF Tom, WBA Dick and WBC Harry all in one year these days. Moaning about sanctioning bodies is as worthwhile as a nuns clit though.

    Paulus Moses is already WBA regular champion.

    I assume that means he just keeps that, and so the title isn't vacant?

    Moses keeps the title and I believe he is still managed by Phillippe Fondu and therefore I think he will fight Romanov for the title and the winner will defend against Khan.

    Tough to know how these things will pan out but I think that is Khan's best chance of a world title shot and think despite his chin problems he could beat both of them

    Khan fighting Romanov....I think not. FW will engineer a WBO title for Khan without him having to face anyone half decent.

    Khan will go WBF route.

    joan guzman is moses's mandotary defence.

    i think breidis presscot is that WBA intercontinental champion.

    if khan wants to be WBA champ then he has to get past presscot first and then if he somehow manages to last 12 rounds then guzman will still be too slick for him.

    Khan won the vacant WBA International belt against ***an and lost the WBO Inter-Continental against Breidis Prescott.
