    From Bollocktalk :lol::lol:
    Dear Lord a new unbelieveable low for the WBA :lol:

    Editor's note: The WBA recognizes Felix Sturm as its middleweight "super champion" and Gennady Golovkin as its interim champion. Why the WBA let Sturm become the "super champion" even though he never unified his title with another organization's champion is a concept too moronic to justify an explanation. Sturm was inactive due to legal issues for over a year, so we can understand creating an interim title. But now that Sturm just defeated Giovanni Lorenzo over the weekend and hasn't made a mandatory defense in ages, the logical next fight would be Sturm vs. Golovkin, right? Golovkin is certainly willing. However, the WBA wants to leave Sturm as the super champion, Golovkin as the interim titlist and sanction a fight between Hassan N'Dam N'Jkam and Avtandil Khurtsindze for its "regular" world championship.

    4 actually, just got an Email saying that I've been made the WBA Middleweight "Future Champion".

    And I only weigh 118 lbs and have only been in the ring when I was in my high schools boxing team...

    Golovkins team is apparently threatening legal action to stop the N'Jikam fight being for the "regular" title.

    Why any of these fighters play ball with the WBA is a mystery to me. You might say that holding a world title helps the fighter earn more money etc but the titles are becoming so devalued that they're almost meaningless.

    This shows just how shameless the WBA are.

    They've ****ed everything up. I hate it how Mundine and his fans claim he is a 2-time 168 champ having won WBA 'regular' titles vacated by the two Super Champions who kicked his ass. And there is no asterisk on his record pointing out these fictional belts. Only way to stop this travesty is for every major boxing publication and website to take a stand and stop recognising the WBA as a major belt. It really is a joke of an organisation

    Are they that desperate for sanctioning fees?

    WBA is surely the worst... what a joke! WBC is a real close 2nd with all their recent bs belts.

    Interm Champ... Regular Champ... Super Champ... Champ in recess... Champion Emeritus... Diamond Champ... Silver Champ... International Champ... Euro Champ... Continental Americas Champ... Junor Champ... Latino Champ... Pan American Champ... Oriental Pacific Champ... and counting.

    More titles= more sanctioning fees.

    We started off with 8 divisions and 1 champ per division.

    Every fighter should have a belt. Every pound should be a weight class. It makes perfect sense.

    You think that's bad? Look at the featherweight mess they've created. They've got 2 super champions, Chris John and Gamboa, Caballero is their interim champion and they're trying to sanction a fight for their "regular" title as well. And none of these guys are being ordered to fight each other or the mandatory challenger.
