Floyd Vacates 154lb WBC Belt!!

[dino]

The reason why Baldy gets to fight for the title is because he was the champ at 147 before losing to Floyd. As an ex champ, he remains high in their rankings (he's #1 at 147) and if he moves up in weight will be given a good position (as most other fighters). This is not new and it's not unusual, either.

As for Forest, I guess it's because he's somehow ranked #2 at 154, right behind ODLH.

Here is the WBC's rankings at 154, as of yesterday:

1 .- Oscar De la Hoya (US-Mex)
2 .- Vernon Forrest (US)
3 .- Michele Piccirillo (Italy) EBU
4 .- Sergio Martinez (Argentina) LATINO
5 .- Kassim Ouma (Uganda)
6 .- Javier Mamani (Argentina) ABMH
7 .- Andrey Tsurkan (Ukraine) NABF
8 .- Zaur Baysangurov (Russia)
9 .- Yuri Foreman (Belarussia)
10 .- Jamie Moore (GB) BBBoC
11 .- Fernando Vargas (US)
12 .- Saul Roman (Mexico)
13 .- Verno Phillips (US)
14 .- Toshiharu Kaneyama (Japan) OPBF/ABCO
15 .- Christophe Canclaux (France)

QUARTEY beat philips, and forest beat quartey

fake fake fake here is mayweather comments about this on a yaho sports section

"I mean Oscar is a great fighter and we had a great fight, I would not give up my 154 belt for no reason what so ever."

"Only way I lose that belt is if Oscar knocks me out."

thats what im saying....how the hell is forrest getting a title shot?.....has he beatin any top Jr middle's lately....and baldomir has he EVER beaten a jr. middle in his career?....many other deserve a shot...

does it matter that belt is bs

castellijieo was strip for fighting vargas instead of fighting mayorga
mayorga didnt do anything to get a title shot but some who he fought for the vacant title againts that italian dude piccrrilo or something like that
and then oscar scores a title shot against mayorga
after losing to bernard

im glad mayeather is moving back to welter to defend his championship instead of staying at 154 were he is just a titlist

If its true I wouldn't be suprised since I don't count on Floyd fighting anyone else at 154. He can make 147 for sure. I don't know about 140.
