    You should copy this post of yours and save it. And, let's say, 10 years from now, go back and read it.

    If Al Haymon has his way, you'll look at it and go: "Damn, look how screwed up boxing used to be before we had just one World champion."

    WBC champs. WBA champs. Interim champs. Stripping champs. "Promoting" guys to the championship.

    What a screwed up mess.

    The people running these organizations are complete idiots. They've all been exposed.

    On par with Monroe Jr.

    I'd rather Cotto fight Bundrage at 154 but if he's staying at 160 this fight is the least he could do.

    Would be awkward as he!! if Sebastian Heiland becomes the Lineal Middleweight Champion, though...

    How many Green Belts have the Sulaiman's given you to insist that what we have now is preferable?

    The sport has never been run as poorly as it is now. I remember when TWO world ratings organizations were supposed to be the ruin of the sport.

    One sounds better than a half dozen.

    Agreed, too much going on at 160 over at the WBC + too much pressure from Oscar and ROC Nation to make the fight a lineal title defense.

    Mauricio might resort to a sanctioned battle royale. :smoke


    As for the Sulaimans... they probably have a WBC Sulaiman belt. You know, sapphire or something, with Jose's drunk face on one of the campaign buttons on the side of the belt.

    The lineal title isn't worth anything anymore.
