    wow wow wow mate. My post was not meant to flame Khan in anyway. I just think the whole concept of "super" champ is stupid.:lol:

    I agree. Superchamp means nothing.

    Either unify, or GTFO.

    Actually, Chris John is the WBA Super Champion at featherweight.

    Gamboa is somehow also now a WBA Super Champion, though he is described as being a Unified Champ at featherweight.

    The regular WBA belt held by Gamboa has now been given to Jonathan Victor Barros, a guy Gamboa beat in a title defence the fight before he was made Super Champion. :nut

    If Jonathon Victor Barros wins another belt like the WBC or WBO, will he then become the third Super Champion at featherweight, with the WBA belt becoming vacant again? Probably, then they can have someone fight for the Interim belt and have 5 champions at the same time.

    this is not a knock on Khan but instead the WBA

    Actually this BS is Lennoxs fault he advised the WBA on this ****!

    Khan has shown loyalty to the WBA to a degree and they deminish his title with this ******ness

    At least the WBC diamond piece of crap is more of a trophy

    Technically you could have 2 unified champs in a division both holding a WBA strap , thats a real joke

    Just do what bradley is doing and fight on strip u r not the peeps know who the champ is

    Right now Tim Bradley is really WBC WBO champ after his next fight he and Khan will figh do for the real title

    I know you're not 'flaming' Khan. What I'm saying is, when it makes good fights then why are you so concerned about it? I mean, it's hardly a bad thing now, is it?

    From this, we get Khan/Peterson or Judah and then he goes on to unify while in the mean time we get Maidana/Ortiz II and the winner of that fights Khan.

    Doesn't seem bad to me at all.

    maybe if the WBA would just admit they award super champion status to "noteworthy fighters based on prior achievements" IE: They're well known fighters, then they'd just be seen as assholes instead of stupid, greedy assholes.

    One belt for each fighter in the division is the way forward.
