The fighter makes the belt and not the other way around so it's ok. Wbo title doesn't have much value anyways and it could be picked up at any 99cent store. Diaz/campbell is a darn good fight.
don king really ****ed this up...if he knew there was a purse bid for this fight and that the fight is mandatory then why wouldnt he show up for the purse bid..then let the **** get signed when he knows all along the fight couldnt happen
but just think though all he had to do was beat Katsidis then David Diaz and damn he woulda held all four titles I dont think beating Casa is that important since he just lost to Santa Cruz. Not technically but i think we can all agree
I think a Diaz vs Katsidis fight will eventually be made later in the year, so regardless of who walks in with the WBO belt that night, Diaz is walking out with it afterwards.
how does anyone else rank "Belt Status"? I have my own freakish way of ranking but I believe WBC to be the top, than IBF, WBA, WBO. This doesn't make much sense, but I can't see how an agrument could make much more. Does anyone else think WBC is the top? - not that WBC really means much to me, just that I (for some feckin reason) think it's the top of the rest.
as funny as my idea sounds, I think Don King realizes he sold his own soul to the devil, so he thinks if his way out is by selling other fighters souls' to the devil to let his soul be free....Only in America! <- I hate him.
I would love for Mike Tyson to get this guy in a cage with a 'Murder is Legal' sign posted on each corner. This is why I kinda like Golden Boy Promotion, I don't like De La Hoya much as a person, but he wouldn't do this. Chris Byrd was complaining about his contract with Don King. The IBF HW Champ put on the shelf. Byrd did it on his own to fight Wlad...get knocked out, but knew King wouldn't make that fight.
Up to this point there's no indication, no news, no articles that says Diaz is going to be stripped of the WBO title. WBO should have made an announcement immediately after the fight was confirmed off. Since there was none, I don't believe they have NO plans of stripping Diaz of the title.
