    No one. The idea may have roots in providing for great champions who bowed out to injury or wartime service, but today it just gives the alphabets and promotional organizations another ridiculous tool in the bag. I'll leave it to the HOF to honor the greats, not the WBC.

    Floyd can pull any fight he wants when he unretires thanks to his name and HBO. Awarding him for that pissant reign at 147 would confirm that the emeritus title has become utterly meaningless.

    I LOVE your avatar. That man is pure genius. One of only 2 celebrities (Marilyn Manson being the other) that I subscribed to, worshipped and adored. I was watching on youtube the day before he died and I said to myself, "I have to go see this guy before it's too late". One regret I'll carry to the grave.

    Bad idea. Titles should be won and lost in the ring.
