Is the WBC Diamond Belt more of a TROPHY then TITLE?

[20/20vision]

I also feel that it downgrades Berto as the WBC champion as well... Like his title is 2nd hand now...

Indeed. It's embarrassing, and in theory it's them admitting that the holder of their title isn't really the best fighter in the division. We all know that to be true but it goes against the entire foundation of the commissions and what their ranking systems are supposed to mean. Not that Sulaiman and co. give a **** about protecting its champions, not as long as six figures are coming their way from whoever they decide to whore the diamond belt to.

Suiliman is a crooked piece of ****. he once charged Pavlik a $25k sanctioning fee for a non-title, over the weight fight against Taylor.

I agree with you man... When Floyd was the WBC champion before he left NONE of this stuff popped up, BUT since Berto is basically the lesser known in the division with their title they gotta put their name back at the top with ANOTHER type of way...
