    Pac- Cotto was the first time they made that stupid trophy. They were going to try and put one up for Mayweather-Mosley but were essentially told to sit and spin.

    and ****tardedly enough, I heard they put one up for Morales-Limond if i recall. I don't see how that's a historic fight but then again they wanted some of their money.

    The original intention was to replace the NABF title and the interim title with the Silver Championship. It would mark out the man who was next in line for a WBC world title shot. However, due to the loss of sanctioning fees, the WBC will never get rid of the NABF or interim titles.

    Wow, they even invented a title for top contenders. Look for them to next introduce interim silver titles and super silver titles

    I actually dont mind this. Belts over and over again gets tiring. Its fun watching the old fights like Ali/Frazier III for a big trophy instead of just a belt.

    It's the replacement for the interim title. As usual there are a few things wrong though. Firstly Morales and Limond both weighed in over 140 but were still allowed to fight for the title. By winning the title Morales is the no.1 contender to Alexander's belt despite never having fought there. He also could have become Soto's mandatory if he'd have liked, but he turned down the chance.

    Also they haven't just turned all their interim titles into Silver ones. At middleweight Zbik has held an interim title for ages but Chavez jr. has the silver title and is therefore Martinez's mandatory. Zbik still has an interim title but it's worthless unless Martinez vacates.

    :good

    officially it gets rid of the interim title...reality it allows promoters to make more 12 rd matches where neither fighter is titlist

    The WBC just needs more money ever since Graciano Rocchigiani sued their asses for giving his belt away to Roy Jones.

    I found it funny before Pac-Cotto when the WBC guy was waving his stupid diamond belt around and got fed up when Buffer didn't mention it.
