    What does this whole thing with " ordinary " mean anway? Never saw that before maybe a month ago or so. Does that imply lineal?

    It's an attempt to show the WBA how absurd it's practice of regular and super versions of the title is. So, instead of calling ir 'regular', it was called 'ordinary' instead.

    What's ordinary?

    The WBA?
    The world?
    The light-heavyweight championship?
    Virgil Hill?

    I'm having trouble figuring out these semantics here.

    i think it is meaning the WBA championship.

    The WBA now have 3 world champions Interim, Regular and sometimes Super (someone who has unified a division) so it is showing he was the Normal (Regular) champ at the time

    hope that clears it up
