I don't care about the belts. Presuming the winner of this fights Bute, the winner of that will be recognised by everyone at the 168 champ, whether he has 4 belts or none at all.
I agree. Felix Sturm has a world title but no one thinks he's a champion. We all know who the best fighters are. Resume speaks louder than belts.
I have so much respect for kessler and him being a complete professional. He vacated his worl championship belt instead of holding onto it for the time being, and also withdrew from the super 6 instead of delaying the tournament. We all know he's a hell of a fighter, not saying an atg, but he is also willing to sacrifice two monumental things for his career and has done everything the right way. Hes true champ and deserves a shot after its said and done.
Belt schmelt. These days, I think we boxing fans care less and less about a strap. It's he who wins against the best competition that matters most.
I'm sure the WBC will make Kessler the Emeritus Champion or Champion in Recess, which ever is the WBCs statius.
It don't matter cuz the winner will be the best super middleweight in the world and he should have the only belt that matters. Super Middleweight ring magazine champion. :good
I don't think he would get the Super Middleweight ring magazine belt unless he will fight Bute or Kessler if he ever comes back.
Super Middleweight Ring M. No. 1, NOT UNDISPUTED CHAMPION, IF YOU REALIZE the difference. Supposing Bute will beat two strog Super 6 exiters in Montreal, the winner of the tourney WILL BE CROWN UNDISPUTED CHAMPION BY NOONE(EXEPTING HIS FANS) UNTIL HE DEFEATES A PROBABLY UNDEFEATED BUTE.
