    Normally WBA raises the status of their belt holder to a "SUPER CHAMP" once he becomes a holder of another sanctioning body. Therefore being a WBA belt holder is the primary qualification to get a "WBA super champ title".

    Now . . . WBA has Paulus Moses as their regular belt holder . . . how come the super Champ title will be ups for grab? This is crap! :huh :-(

    Anybody familliar with the WBA rule book?

    Man, the WBA keeps going down as the worst of the sanctioning bodies.

    I don't mind the WBO, but the WBA is basically cheating Moses out of the opportunity and there is no one good freaking reason why the Super-champ belt is up for grabs besides collecting the fees. Pure crap.

    I'm VERY familiar with it, and this bs aint in it! lol

    Also, If somehow Moses was able to pick up another belt, he would be inelligible to be elevated to "super" champ, because the Marquez-Diaz winner would already hold that. Nice, huh?

    Well that's what I thought . . . it's not there. Maybe they inserted it in . . . just before they made the anouncement.

    They'll have a super champ who didn't even became their title holder. :-(

    That's the color of money. :D :good

    Its all sancitioning body bull**** but i guess theyre justification:

    To be a "Super Champ" you have to hold the WBA and at least 1 other belt. This fights for the WBA & WBO & IBO belts so there for the winner will hold 3 making them a super champ?

    You don't get the point . . . to get a title of WBA super champ . . . you have to be a WBA title holder first.

    Well guess what . . . Diaz and JMM are not WBA title holders. And the legitimate title holder is being bypassed. That is what's being questioned.

    WBA is very bad. Only the WBO is worse out of the big four. This stuff is even worse than the WBC emeritus champ coming out of the woodwork, suddenly.
