    WBC didn't create this belt to steal from Lomachenko. Lomachenko requested this belt to avoid fighting Haney! WBC President Prez explains.

    At this point the only titles that might matter are lineal match-ups and Ring titles when lineages are broken.

    Well I do agree with u on that. The extra abc belts are ruining boxing. Boxers are even confused on the situations.

    Pretty sure it was Bob Arum´s idea. Gives them freedom from mandatories.

    Ring rules these days are way too lax.
    Why was Fury-Wilder II for he Ring belt? Fury had retired and not beaten anyone in the top 10 since Wlad. Wilder was not the top guy of the division.
    It´s because they don´t require the two top ranked guys to fight in order to crown a new "lineage". If Fury retired today(C), and Joshua(1) fought Whyte(4), Ring Magazine would put up their belt. :lol: Hell, technically Povetkin-Whyte 2 could be for their belt.

    :lol: And that time Ring Magazine stripped Stevenson. GTFO.

    Incorrect. Loma (and Top Rank) avoided the mandatory duty, not the mandatory challenger.

    I don't believe Rigo age had to do with anything he is still at his peak even today, but I agree at 130 there was an obvious size disadvantage.

    Reality it was a Feather Loma vs a Bantam Rigo, so yeah Rigo is a great fighter but he was in a Bob Foster vs Ali/Frazier situation

    The Franchise championship is on the line for Lopez.

    The WBC can get ****ed with all this malarky though, absolute farce.

    It will be nice for his legacy to beat all of them belt or no belt, RIP Jose Sulieman & your once great Green belt....apparently things can only get worse, the human mind is just not ready to imagine it.

    That's true! Forgot about those two facts. Damn, this era kinda sucks to be honest. Not because there aren't good fighters or good fights, but the top guys aren't fighting as often because of business reasons so it's much harder to determine who is the best guy, and more so hard to determine how good they are.
