    Xu
    I want anything with Xu involved, because Xu are the one for me

    Holler issued a statement via his media officer earlier today:

    'Holler will not be recognising the WBA 'Regular' belts as world titles on account of them being ridiculous and lame in equal measure, Therefore in the matter of Josh Warrington opponents Can Xu can get to ****'

    I'll keep trying to get clarification on this breaking story.

    Russell.

    Both are regarded as the best at 126, and I believe Warrington wins it and therefore brings a big boost to his resume. Would also be a good fight, very good purse for Warrington, and would be marketed well by Hearn or whatever, though the probability of Showtime, Russell and Hearn collaborating is slim.

    All 3 are excellent fights. I think the Xu fight could be most fun although his belt isn't a proper one

    I think it's the most likely. Could be good, but it narks me to even see it touted as a unification.

    Xu is the sole WBA champion and thus isn't a regular champion.

    Besides Xu is legit! :deal:

    The WBA mustn't have bothered updating then:

    http://www.wbaboxing.com/wba-boxer-profile?boxer=LEO-SANTA-CRUZ#.XkWabcj7SUk

    So, as I understand it, the Super belt only goes to someone who unifies, so Can Xu is a legit WBA featherweight champ?

    When it comes to the Super belt even the freaking WBA don't know how it works. Hell in the first Santa Cruz-Mares fight, the vacant Super belt was on the line and Santa Cruz's last fight is another example.

    Xu is now the only WBA champ so yeah.

    It's a crazy sport to follow when even the organisation's own website doesn't know who the champ is.

    They had one job...

    Xu Can is not a unification bout but it is a fun styles fight. It should be Russell, seeing as him and Warrington are just about #1 and 2.
