Wlad is "super" champ (i.e. the real champ), Povetkin is the "regular" champ (i.e. someone they're milking money out of) and the WBA is a goddamn joke.
And He and Titty Atlas wanted to not worry about Wlad and defend their made-up belt, while Atlas was declaring on national television that anyone with guts to try would beat either Klitschko. atsch
Thanks for the reply's lads. I forgot about the 'super' and 'regular' shite. Thought the 'interim' stuff was bad enough. This shite really is very bad for boxing. To explain this stuff to a casual fan would be simply embarassing.
There are many versions of a world championship . It is ridiculous, I understand, but it doesn't happen only with Povetkin. In the majority of the WBA divisions they have super and regular champions. In some there are also interim champions :yep
Povetkin's belt is really just a glorified WBA ranking. He should stop paying them and do a Bowe and toss the belt into the trash.
