Is Mosley still WBA Champ?

am sure its vacant, i think mosley should fight berto, i dont think hes done yet.

 

Yes - Floyd declined to pay WBA sanctioning fees and therefore it was a non-title affair.

So it's a bit odd that it was twelve rounds, come to think of it. One of them must have had some bull**** minor title on the line. It just wasn't the WBA.

Shane is still the "Super Champ". The "other" World Champion (****ing alphabet organizations...) is Vyacheslav Senchenko.

Floyd was #1 contender. #2 is Soulemayne M'Baye, who's scheduled against WBA #3 Antonin DeCarie on May 28th.

 

Yup

 

He still is right now, but the WBA may well strip him and make Senchenko the full champion. They did this when Judah lost to Baldomir and WBA title wasn't on the line, they stripped Judah and made someone else (Collazo I think) the full champion.

Also - the reason it was 12 rounds was because if Mosley had won it would have counted as a defence of the title. So in effect, the WBA belt was on the line - but only Mosley could have won it.

 

i dont think floyd would of agreed to 148, and creating weight classes is even a bigger sham than supid titles, and it hold's question on who actually is the champ at welter, and gets too complicated if you ask me.

 

So who's looking forward to Mosley's mandatory defense vs. the winner of Mbaye-DeCarie??

Or inter-WBA regular/super unification with Senchenko??

:happy:happy

Come on...


...anybody?

NO. Seshenko is now the "full" WBA "champ"

 

Is, present tense? Do you work for the WBA or have a direct tap to someone at the top there? Or is this what you expect to happen?

 

i would want to see shane v berto more, and i think with nazim, shane can do it.

 

No. It was going to be a title fight, but Floyd wouldn't pay the sanctioning fees, so Mosley still has the belt. All the WBA said was that Floyd couldn't win the belt, so it was a non-title fight, but going on similar situations in the past (Judah) it is likely he will soon be stripped.

 

:good

To be fair, Senchenko's not a bad welterweight at all. He just has no name value to American fans and TV networks would not be creaming their pants to air such a fight. Shane's not going to be on a FNF card (or even Showtime). He wants big paydays (meaning HBO PPV) or nothing at this point.
