When Willie Limond won it.

 

with your Ricky Burns hating before the Martinez fight and afterwards then I'm not surprised.

 

I dont mate no, I personaly believe like you do that the fighter makes the belt. I do believe in the ring Title though, even though it has some major problems

 

The attraction for Ricky was the WBU belt at the time coz thats what he made his money off of,i know the WBU isnt a worth while belt now but at the time fighters were getting half decent money for fighting for it thats the point im making.

 

They got decent money for it by conning casual fans into thinking it was a genuine world title. I don't think thats something to shout about for the WBU.

 

Derry Matthews?

 

last point ask Ricky Hatton if he was proud to be WBU champion,im sure the answer will be a YES!

 

Of course Ricky Hatton was proud of the money he made conning all those fans crammed into the MEN that he was fighting for a real world title against a mix of journeymen, tomato cans and vaguely decent fighters. Ricky Hatton's 'reign of terror' over the WBU is probably the single biggest point anybody could make against the WBU.

 

10-15,000 fans were conned each fight at the MEN ok thenatsch

 

Yes. Most of them were football fans that had no clue. When they hear 'World Boxing Union'' title it kind of gives the impression its a world title fight believe it or not. This was the whole thing Ricky played off, very cleverly.

 

BETTY, Where are you????????

 

Then Billy why did hatton vacate it as soon as he won the IBF? he could have been 'undisputed' champ according to you:think

and why didn't he go after the same title at 147?

 

10-15000 working class people who dont know **** about boxing, most of them didn't know who the best fighter of our sport was until hatton fought him.

 

I thought the WBU was the best belt out there? Hahahaha ;-)
