Who is the World Lightweight Champion ... and which World Lightweight Champion did he beat to win the title? You posted listings for four lightweight champs, a Ring Champ and you left out the IBO ratings. What, aren't their champs (including Wlad Klitschko and Gennady Golovkin) good enough for you?
Who is the World Lightweight Champ and which World Lightweight Champ did he beat to win the title? I thought anyone with a couple of links was supposed to be able to tell? It's one of the three original divisions. This shouldn't be difficult for someone as knowledgeable as you.
You want to put me on an IGNORE list for asking you who is the World Lightweight Champion and what World Lightweight Champion did he beat? If that is now considered a "trick" question ... then the people running the sport now aren't worth defending. I've never corresponded with someone so terrified of change. Don't worry my friend. The days of boxing being run by Belt Fetishists will soon be over. And you won't need a half-dozen links to remember who all the champs are or who they beat to become champ.
NEWSFLASH: YOU are the only person even attempting to put forth the notion that Haymon is a promoter. You continue to, in essence, simultaneously argue for and attack your own strawman argument. Please continue, though. It is pure found money for the rest of us.
Oh, so 'people on the Internet' are your backup on this, eh? :verysad And you have the gall to question the IQ of others. GTFOH.
C'mon man, you gotta do your own homework. If you can't figure out how to find the name of the lightweight champion of the world, just google around and you'll figure it out. I personally find it funny that so many are throwing the "he's a manager AND a promoter" tag at Haymon when they've not made an issue of the Duvas or Don King/Carl King or the Goosens or so many others using family members or house "managers" to fill that role as if the manager is acting completely in the fighter's interest and not his family's promotional company. If that's OK, what Haymon is doing isn't worth mention.
Sweet, Dubblechin, I haven't seen ownage like this in a few hours. Walk With Me posted a video about that Koncz 5 mil dollar fine and obliterated BigHansFarm thoughts, but this was epic. Strawman argument, you want to put me on ignore...classic ownage! Promoter Al Haymon, Ali Act. Lmfao...
Daaammm! Sweets is putting a intellectual beat down on somebody. They probably should just apologize and get on off the board for a couple of days to heal up.
Never satisfied... kinda bias aren't they?! I wonder why...? Maybe if Arum or Oscar would've done it they'll be happier... There's no way this black man that they know NOTHING about has the audacity to bring us free championship boxing.....
There's much truth in what you write the sanctioning bodies have been a negative force especially in the the last 30 years but if you think PBC belts will solve the problem or at leat make things better you're sorely mistaken. 1) The biggest problem with ABC's has been the lack of consensus #1 in divisions with unification being the exception not the norm. When Haymon creates his own league and boxing is split between PBC vs non PBC boxers it will be even worse. Think the Kovalev-Stevenson, Golovkin-Quillin, Rigo-LSC situations are frustrating just wait until every division has PBC Champions who never fight outside the league. 2) Last i checked the WBC and Sulaimon who is leading the charge to work together with the WBA/IBF is the one who is forcing unification at 160 and 175 between the #1 and the lineal Champions holding their titles hostage with Cotto and Stevenson. Haymon is an obstructionist and it won't get any better as his league emerges. Anybody outside PBC won't exist to their fighters or media.
