    Well it's bogus. But once Joe leaves for 175, his title becomes just as legit as any of the other belts.

    Indeed. The downside for Choc will be that he won't get away with fighting the same level of opposition. He'll be forced to step it up a bit. Good for us, though.

    Soudn't he give kessler a fair go and fight him for it ? If Mikkel Kessler was content staying home defending the real WBA title then he would have had to fight him again to be the real WBA title holder ? Seems like Kesser is getting the **** end of the stick for trying to unify :patsch

    I answered your question...its a fact the title is legit....do you think Mundine made it up?

    Get used to the idea mate...the WBA has regular champs from time to time....and Mundine is it.....what dont you understand here?

    Maybe you should be asking is it fair Mundine is regular world champ because Joe is the real champ?

    The answer is no but its still legit because the WBA makes it legit.

    So if the WBA make up another title ( Say Almost Regular WBA Champ ) its a legit title because they say so as its their organisation and they can have as many super middle weight champs as they like ..

    I don't see Mundine running away from Kessler. In fact it is the other way around. Mundine fought in a WBA title eliminator against Green back in 06' and was looking for a rematch with Kessler. Kessler opted to fight Beyer in a unification bout instead which is how the 'regular' strap became vacant.

    If Kessler wants it, I'm sure Mundine would accomodate.

    As silly as it sounds....yes.

    Its not just the WBA....the WBC have Mundine listed as the WBA champ and Mundine aint the first regular champ and he wont be the last.

    Its ligit but most of us see it how it is.....second best title.....but its for real....its not fair to Joe......but he dont miss any sleep over Mundine being regular champ.

    Its all about making money....thats all.
