    If you have a belt you get noticed and get the big fights and make the big bucks , isnt that what its all about?
    You cant do **** or demand nothing unless you got a strap around your waist....

    same at featherweight john is super champ gamboa regular and the interim is now vacant but there going to give cabalero a shot at it if he can find an opponent :huh

    and to think Ryan Rhodes won a WBC 154 eliminator almost a year ago and he is ranked 4th and Alvarez is ranked 2!!

    Also I notice that 3 Mexicans are above him as well.

    The scene is reporting that...
    John is Super Champion.
    Winner tonight becomes Unifed Super Champion then the regular belt becomes available for Caballero to fight for.

    A "Super Champion" and now a "Unified Super Champion". If they ever fight, maybe the winner will be "Super Unified Super Champion"

    The IBF are just as insane.

    Until Rendall Munroe won his WBC final eliminator, they had Kiko Martinez above him in the rankings - based upon Munroe refusing a 3rd fight, that was mandated as an eliminator.

    Surely 2 clear points victories - clearer than the cards suggest - determine superiority?

    The WBC has been a disgrace. They're sanctioning a title match for a vacant belt at a catchweight for margacheata.

    Its Limond v Morales for the prestige Diamond Belt tonight!

    Remember it is "an honorary championship exclusively for fights between elite boxers.".

    Someone should just eliminate all other belts and sanction one. This multiple belts system is getting ridiculous.
