    Wlad is the "Super" champ.
    Povetkin is the "Regular" champ.

    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.

    Yep. I would like everyone to ignore any regular champs inc press.

    Povetkin ducks Wladimir and they give him a belt. :-(
    Corrupt.

    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. :patsch

    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.

    Povetkin is the WBA Toys R Us Kiddie Champion.

    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
     
  11. 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.

    I've had to explain this to people that don't watch a lot of boxing. Embarrassing.

    Povetkin's belt is a joke. If he's not going to challenge Wladimir he needs to mail it back to him.
