Kambosos can’t be WBC champ

Why should anyone have to face Haney to win the WBC belt, after all Haney never faced Loma to win his.

The WBC themselves recognise Kambosos as undisputed.

 

The champion is Kambosos.

 

Well the Franchise belt was held by Teo and Loma so don’t see why Kambossos can’t hold it.

 

I agree it was a stupid rule and designation.

 

He did but if for example Fury had an option to fight usuyk but not before a mandatory defence of his title and dropped the belt, Fury does not remain the wbc champion.

This has always been the way in boxing where boxers get stripped or vacate titles but since when do those fighters remain champion?

After Floyd beat Pacman the WBO stripped Floyd of the title, was Mayweather still the champion or not?

If he was still the champion I think it's fair to say that subsequently neither Bradley, Vargas, Manny, Horn or Crawford can be called WBO champion as none of them beat Floyd for the belt.

Sounds ridiculous as it is just that.

 

Exactly, they all got dismissed as paper titlists.

Its like how every time the WBA is unified they make a super and a regular champ. Then back those up with an interim champ.

WBC elevated Loma to franchise champ. They have literally just referred to Kambosos as undisputed champ.

No one ever tries giving more credence to interim champs, I honestly don't know why you're trying to do so now.

 

There is literally no dispute to Kambosos' status of undisputed champion from any major sanctioning body, so that's it. No dispute=Undisputed.

 

I'm not trying to do anything of the sort, I'm simply calling whoever has the belt the champion and not giving any credence to nonsensical titles such as franchise champion.

A title which by the WBC in its own rules says cannot be won, its only designated which is clear as a paper titilist as can be.

 

But it is nonsensical since Loma already had the belt, Haney never faced him for it.

Both the Franchise and the Regular were "designated"

The difference is, one man already held the belt and was pursuing a full unification fight, the other man wasn't.

Calling Haney a champion is giving far too much credit.

 

"I don't know why anyone wants to recognise Haney as a legitimate champion. Even the WBC themselves are calling Kambosos undisputed."

You are wrong. WBC has Haney listed as the lightweight champ.
