Petition to the WBA

Brother - I am in full agreement with this Thread 100%.

This is getting way out of hand and because no one is doing anything about it - they will continue to abused their powers.

 

Good post. Why not disregard them all and just recognise the Ring magazine belt holder until they all melt away?

 

I read the exact same sentence for all the other sanctioning bodies just when they pulled another stunt. They are all the same ****. The underlying problem which causes that situation is that professional boxing isn't a sport in the first place anymore but an entertainment business and therefore all these crooks involved try to squeeze out as much money as possible. There isn't anything you can do unless things are changed drastically.

 

the Super Champion title allows the belts to stay unified. the WBA gives the unified champ "super champion" status so that he can be exempted from fighting WBA mandatories. Meanwhile they have 2 fighters fight for a "regular champ" belt so that all the fighters who have been striving to move up in the rankings don't see their efforts go to waste.

it makes sense.

its actually one of the very few rules from the ABC ords that makes sense.

Also, if for some reason a fighter gets stripped from his other ABC belts, and loses his super champ status, then the regular champ has to fight him if he wants to remain WBA champ.

 

:deal :good :happy

 

Absolutely!!! As if having MULTIPLE organizations wasn't bad enough, now these groups have to starting handing out MORE meaningless belts. Frankly, I can't believe any boxing fan would defend this BULL****.

It's all about SANCTIONING FEES folks - these parasitic organizations make more money when they hand out MORE BELTS, so they make up more phony titles - interim, super, emeritus, etc. etc. etc.

They, and their meaningless titles, are a CANCER on this sport!

 

The orgs.....always a frustrating proposition. Thing is they give structure, PROBLEM is? Its misused and abused by ALL!!

Until there is one head and a serious effort on the parts of many nothing will CHANGE:-(

Wanna another WBA laugh? I recently noticed that Brian Minto is fighting for the WBA "federo centro" Heavyweight title?
Brian Minto

Never heard of that one before

 

the whole reason we have belts is so boxers have somthing to cling on to.
while fans see the best fighters fight for it.

now if you split it by 4 and a half then you aint gonna see the same determination.

if i was to choose a boxing org that is better than the others i will shock surprise say the IBO reason...they give it to the best man in the division almost no questions asked.

wheres the IBF AND WBC have a hate for one another and while WBA makes there own organisation in side and organisation the WBO change the rankings around and produce weak mandatories to create long reigning champions.

this is why i feel the IBO will suceed in being the best belt to keep quite soon no joke.

 

oh no one cares about these latino,inter-continental,isle of wite twice-removed belts those in a way help journeyman boxers and prospects get somthing to show for. it also shows what level the guys are at.

it's the world title which is the problem

 

The WBA announced some time back that they have stopped this policy and wouldnt call anyone else a SUPER champ

 

Now THAT'S a shocker. If true, that's gotta be the first time one of these parasitic orgs has actually ELIMINATING one of their unncessary titles!!!

Now, if we could just get rid of those silly "interim" belts..........:yep

 

ring also has its flaws. like casamayor being their champion at 135.
