    FW promotion used to mean a WBO fight, then everyone become WBU Champion

    I assume now it is the WBA

    Look at my post on how to Market Amir-

    You are getting the point-

    Is the WBA now friendly with Mr Warren?

    With 4 belts considered to be 'real' world titles all manner of fighters can become world champions plus we have the mush of too many weiight divisions where if the money is in one division the divisions next to it become really weak and full of sub standard champs like the light welter, light middle and middle divisions plus the awful cruiserweiight division.

    140 is a brilliant division ATM and 154 isn't too bad either:blood.

    Cos M'Baye was a Warren fighter and doing well in the WBA rankings prior to signing with Warren. Plus M'Baye is an alright fighter who Warren didn't protect too much.

    Nah they are pretty **** quality wise. Good entertaining match ups to be made but nothing to get the pulse going like the potential fights at welter, lightweight or super middle.

    Nah I can't see any FW fighter going for a legitimate title again for a while. It just happened that Kotelnik was even weaker than the WBO champion at lightweight.

    Even Kevin Mitchell is a step-up for Jorge Linares.


    He won't get that fight.

    If you know your British boxing history, you will know that it was the WBA that made Warren and could of broke the BBB of C, way back, nearly 30 years ago...
