    Ya know what the scary thing is?

    If the WBA uses this to rip more fighters off with ridiculous sanctioning fees, Yer gonna see MORE organizations adopt such a strategy.

    Ok you can add this one to the list aswell, Chris john has the WBA 126 belt and has not unified titles, but has been declared a 'super champion' because he's defende it enough times!! lol.

    And now Gamboa will compete for the . . . well i suppose vacant/newly formed WBA ordinary title at 126.

    Go figure!

    It's really quite remarkable that all the sanctioning bodies don't seem to care in the slightest about what's good for the sport.
    All they care about is lining their pockets, no matter how much they degrade the sport, the fighters and the fans.

    thats a possibility, but then in theory so many belts would be meaningless, and the ring belt would be king

    but the brothers are relevant in this topic. The WBA wants NO part of the brothers.... thanks to Don King..The WBA is DK's last little bit of the HW division he still has a hold of

    I wouldnt be a bit surprised to see DK bring back Shannon Briggs to fight for the title.... WBA is nothing but a DK circle jerk:deal

    Even if the WBA wanted in with the Klitschkos (and they don't so that's wasted baited breath)...the Klitschkos won't fight each other.

    So even if the argument is about unification, the Klitschko hater might actually have a point on this one.
