    Because the system is ****ed. Its a fight between two of the three best junior welterweights in the world for me and that is why I am pumped.

    Not because some titles are on the line.

    Alexander got stripped of it a while ago didn't he? For not fighting a mandatory. Bradley got stripped of the WBC within weeks of winning the WBO, and isn't fighting for their title tonight either. Unifying titles is becoming increasingly difficult in boxing.

    Isn't Judah-Mabuza for the vacant belt or is that an eliminator?

    Its for the vacant belt. If the winner of Bradley/Alexander fights Khan and then after that fights the winner of Judah/Mabuza, we could have our undisputed champion by this time next year if were lucky:good

    People say that having the titles means nothing but to have all four would show a lot. Isnt Hopkins the only man to actually collect all four?

    Depends on what criteria you're using. Jermain Taylor won all 4 majors off him, he didn't unify them personally but he was (briefly) in possession of all the major belts. Joe Calzaghe won all 4 super middle titles but was stripped of the IBF before he could win the other 2. Vic Darchinyan won the 3 big belts at junior bantam a couple of years ago but not the WBO, though alot of people don't count that. That's all I can think of recently.
