The champions make the titles and nobody with a WBA belt has made it a credible title to hold. Just another typical problem in boxing
Maybe Mundine wasn't ducking Kessler and saw way back that the WBA was a fraudulent organisation. Or maybe not.
yep and he's giving up his WBA mandatory status to Trout because he thinks he is in line to fight Cotto, Pacquiao, and Mayweather. Seriously, can't make this **** up.
So the rematch is gonna be called as a unification fight? the casual fans are gonna be confused as **** This is hilarious.
Amir Khan ‏ @AmirKingKhan Great news WBA still have me as WBA Super Champion! I wil be putting tht title on the line on May 19th against Peterson. i dont get this.....doesnt make sense......
You guys do know its the fans who give these belts legitimacy. If we no longer recognize a belt as a legit then it isnt. I mean the boxing Orgs have no control over us nor the media at large. We dont recognize Khan as champ. Simple.
WBA - Smart move. Khan will pay big sanction fees. The belts have never been about the best. **** I loved Gatti - but come on the WBC Light Welter champion of the World?? Sanction fees. Skills do not pay the bills.
Indeed, made all the funnier by Khan not seeming to be in on the joke. He seems to think he's actually won another world title
Exactly. I felt Khan beat Peterson, but regardless of that Khan cant just be given a belt in a decision he has lost. As you say the fans make it legit and now to be honest with the WBA Super champ, regular champ, int champs that can fight many times without finally challenging and thats just the WBA. The WBC have champ emerius, champs and diamond champs. The Ring suits itself alot of the times with its ratings and the WBO & IBF have had many things said about them. I think overall now we should just appreciate good top fighters and fights and forget titles full stop
