    They are just ridiculous. At some weights they have 3 world champions. As boxing fans why don't we just declare there belt and meaningless as the WBU.

    At the moment they only have 3 champions I would call the number 1 in the division. Mosley, John and Kessler.

    Kessler does not even want the belt due to there stupid mandos, and Mosley will never defend the belt.

    Lets just stop recognizing them

    Agreed. Their Heavyweight title is beyond a joke. As is Kahn's shot at Kotelnik for a so called 'world title'.

    Agreed, the IBF, WBC, WBO are all jokes but the WBA is by far the biggest joke of them all, they have diluted the meaning of the belt by having all that ordinary, super, interm bs. anyway we should only recognise one belt in the first place like the ring magazine belt which at least doesn't have the greed of the other organisations :fire:tired

    You forgot that Chris John, Despite not having unified the WBA title, is now the WBA Super Champion so they could give Gamboa a shot at the 'Regular' WBA title! Thus making more money and a mockery of their already stupid organisation.

    what a JOKE of an organisation.

    It will come a time where they will have ten champs per division,the more champs they have the more money they get from sanctioning fees.

    they´re a bunch of crooks.

    I agree that the WBA are a joke but because they have a long history and some great fighters have held their belts in the past then people will still want to fight for them.

    If they keep inventing new titles though then they can't be taken seriously much longer.

    Lets not forget the WBA has several 'minor' titles as well: Native American, Latino, etc

    They're also affiliated with regional organisations that have some bull**** titles too, like the EBA. I've never once heard an EBA belt holder referred to as the European Champion.
