Why is Zab still champ?

Staying at Welter might be the smartest move Mayweather can make. Judah should not be much resistance. Margarito is where PBF might have the biggest obsticles of the bunch, We'll see what improvements Margarito has made on the 18th. but in any case, Floyd might just avoid him altogether. BTW, welcome to Boxingscene Castillofan, enjoy the ride.

how many ppl on this board think zab can make the win against mayweather in april? he started training today but he better train hard for a fight with mayweather. A lot of people believe that a fighter is only as good as his last fight, look at both fights and the answer should be pretty obvious,

The Light Welter division is gonna be smoking hot later in the year. I believe that Castillo-MayweatherIII might take place if you consider that Castillo wants to keep loyal to the WBC, this is of course if PBF does not step up to 147. When you add Cotto, Corrales and Hatton in the mix, the possibilities for great fights are overabundant.

coz don king is a boxing God.

Castillos biggest enemy right now is the scale, I doubt if he will fight at 135 again and is seriously scoping the next heavier division. Corrales might have a better future against the likes of Diaz and Jesus Chavez. His second fight against Castillo came too soon and was not fully recovered from their first fight, I think that fight really took a lot from him.

Hey Holmes, how's it going? As you say, Judah should no longer be the champion, but there's money to be made by a lot of people. Usually it transpires that a sanctioning body withdraws their title from the champion if he loses a fight while holding the title, see what happened to Diego Corrales after Castillo knocked him out last October. I would have thought that the sanctioning bodies would not want to be represented by an unworthy fighter as champion, but let's face it, it all means very little when there's millions of dollars flying around. Nice talking to you guys, take it easy. Doing great man. In boxing nowadays titles don't guarantee money anymore. In the Corrales case, those three pounds that Castillo was over really ended up keeping the belts around Corrales's waist.

Baldomir refused to pay the sanctioning fees for the IBF title, which makes sense when all told I bet he was making less than 100 grand for the Judah fight. I think it is commonly understood that the WBC title is the one most sought after by many fighters, therefore, Baldomir made sure that he was signed up for that one. By rights, in the event of his losing, Judah should no longer be the IBF champion, as in the post-fight press conference, Don King declared the IBF and WBA welterweight championships vacant. However, you see how quickly a situation can be "rectified" when people stand to gain money. The IBF was once indicted on allegations of rigging its rankings, therefore it should hardly be surprising that they so willingly flout their own regulations in order to be invovled in a money fight with Judah and Mayweather, who will both have to pay sanctioning fees to the IBF for the "privelege" of fighting for that title. what i was trying to say just too lazy to say it^^^ :D

True, only the WBC strap was at stake. If you're a Champion and you lose a fight in your weight class, you lose the title even if the title was not on the line.

that wasnt on the line when they met
