    Pfft. Please. They're probably way ahead of me. I'm a firm believer that they'll strip Bradley again just to put up a 140 belt to a Mexican.

    Im pretty sure they too will duck him, cause they've seen what Soto can really do.

    People have seen the "playing possum" side of Soto, but he can do 10x better than he's shown recently.

    Here's the fierce side of Soto.

    Interim World Titles do count, because many World Champions stall their defenses with "medical/sick leave" reasons and end up not defending their world title in more than a year.

    So the WBA and WBC came up with Interim Titles, so that they're are 2 World Champions, for the moment, with soon to be 1 world champion after they face each other.

    Even Wikipedia explains that its 2 world champions at the same time.

    like this:

    An interim championship is a temporary world championship that is awarded in all four major sanctioning bodies of professional

    is temporarily unable to defend his championship because of medical, legal, or other reasons that are beyond the champion's control. When this case occurs, two highly ranked contenders will fight for the interim championship of the same weight division—leading to two champions existing in the same weight division simultaneously. Once the world champion is able to return, he must fight against the interim champion. The winner of this bout reunifies the weight division as sole world champion. If the world champion cannot return or moves to a different weight division, the interim champion becomes the world champion.

    Humberto Soto has been very busy the past twelve months, fighting a total of five times, including this weekend. He is a world champion in three divisions, and reigns as the current WBC lightweight world champion. Soto Humberto Soto claimed the vacant lightweight belt in March 2010 in a bout against David Diaz (35-2-1) held on the Pacquiao vs. Clottey undercard at Cowboys Stadium.

    (Soto is a 3-Time World Champion regardless.,, Heck, Arce is considered a 3 time world champion, and one of his titles was Interim.,,,Pac is considered an 8 time world champion, and many of his titles were Interim too, and FIXED FIGHTS, with:lol: EPO Steroids)

    and another link, considering him as a 3 Time World Champion:

    If anybody is ready to take their turn under the spotlight, it is WBC super featherweight champion Humberto Soto (50-7-2, 32 KOs) of Los Mochis, Mexico.

    Often considered one of the most underrated fighters in the sport, “Zorrita” or sly little fox, is on the brink of joining only a handful of Mexican warriors who have captured three world titles in different weight classes this Saturday night when he faces former world champion David Diaz (35-2-1, 17 KOs) of Chicago, for the vacant WBC lightweight title in the semi-main event to Pacquiao-Clottey in Dallas.

    soto has recemtly signed to fight on March 5th a non title rematch with with a fighter whom he struggled to beat. That move on the side of the Soto camp is a move on which they will then use as an excuse to not face Urbano Antillon on May7th . The Soto camp believes that facing Barrera will give them a bigger purse. The rematch between Soto and Antillon is what real boxing fans want to see. If the rematch does happen on the 7th make way for an explosive strong and well prepared Antillon. If soto does put up excuses Rios or Acosta will be defendind there title vs Antillon. May7th Urbano Antillon will break down any opponet he faces.

    Soto was only an interim at 126 dont know if that counts

    Soto is a great fighter however and is one of the most avoided in my opinion the guy is one of the few modern fighters to take the hard road

    he didnt get a title fight in his first 20 bouts and had like 40 fights around the age 25 and after upseting Juarez didnt get a title shot for a few yrs

    then he had a bad nite vs Guzman and got dicked vs Lorenzo

    he really is a great fighter and i am shocked he isnt as popular as he should be

    but then again he isnt an olympic star or pretty boy for the public he took the tough road and is not marketable deeming him high risk low reward

    Morales, Barrera, Soto, Marquez..the Mexican midgets are coming to take over 140

    Hey, so what happened with Soto-Rios, Antillon-Vasquez fights Arum proposed in the post fight of Soto-Antillon (with the winners to face each other)? Looks like Soto and Antillon both passed those fghts to ensure a rematch

    everyone @140 will be scrambling away to 147 once they see this news. amir khan, bradley, alexander are ducking soto.

    valero hanged himself to stay away from soto.

    As soon as Soto moves up in weight all the guys at 140 the likes of Khan Devon Bradley Ortiz Maidana will jump to 147. They'd rather go there and duck Soto than be embarrassed and put to retirement prematurely. Soto is such a feared fighter that the current P4P Pacman ducked him for good reason. Soto will be the first Mexican to ever make that feat and he will be a first ballot hall of famer...

    Good luck to him, but his lack of power above 130 will make things tougher for him.
