Aussie titles

Whenever fighters contest supposedly higher titles than the national titles they hold those Aussie titles are declared vacant. Couple this with a lack of active pro fighters in this country, and you end up with vacant titles all over the place.

 

I think we all agree with that

 

They are, but unfortunately, some of the titlists are touch reluctant to defend the title against anyone that would/could most likely beat them...so they ditch it & go for some superior regional ****, against a dud, to maintain superiority


Welterweight Tim Hunt is a classic example.

 

Alphabet soup regional "titles" are worth more because of the rankings sadly.

 

Which ranking are you talking about?

 

like if you win the WBO Pan-Pacific title or whatever it grants you a top 10 ranking for the WBO

 

It's WBO's Asia Pacific, Oriental, African bit of marketing crap, as is PABA's & IBF's Pee Pee etc.
End result = If one is good at it...one doesn't need any of them (leaches)

 

BTW, next person that tells me Ray Wheatley got Geale where is now, can lick my dick FOC

 

I agree mate and welcome to ESB , the route that should be taken is Aussie Champ then have a tilt at the Commonwealth title ala Jarrod Fletcher , if he had won that he would have been on the fringe of world class and imo entitled to fight for one of the main four titles .

 

..bring back the pride in the Aussie title..somehow..something should be done to improve this situation..

 

Perfect opportunity for Maydad to grab a legit title

 

Junior made about 4 or 5 middleweight title defences I don't think he ducked any1 .

 

Couldn't agree more. But while all these nothing titles that provide enticing shortcuts are around, the Aussie title will remain right where it is.
