    What the **** is the deal with the WBA?

    Why is it necessary to study for hours to get their championship system?



    They have divisions with only one champion, but they have no label.

    Some divisions have two champions, a super champion (which they call unified, kind of strange considering there is another WBA title in the divsion), and the regular champion, that they just call the WBA champion.

    Lightweight has Juan Diaz as the "undisputed WBA champion."

    What the hell is the difference between Diaz's title and any other titlists title that doesn't have a regular belt floating around?

    Okay, I'm done with the rant, so now my questions.

    1. When and why do they make a regular champion in a division?

    2. What is the difference between an interim WBA title and a regular WBA title?

    3. How the hell did Juan Diaz get the undisputed label, while no other current champion has been able to get it?

      OK if a fella has a WBA world title he's the champ. If he then unifies with the WBC or IBF (I beleive it is) then he is the unified champ, and if he unifies with both he's the super champ or undisputed champ. Becoming the unified or undisputed champ basically opens up a slot for another "world" champion with the WBA, so you can have two world champions in the same division.

      The thinking behind this is that if you have a unified champion then there are only so many fights the guy's going to have. So if you then allow another championship spot to open up you can of course open up a whole new set of sanctioning fees. Not just for the "title" fights but for anything you care to label as an eliminator.

      In other words **** the alphabets.

            I dont really pay attention to the belts but I think Juan is undisputed because he unified 2 of the belts? I could be wrong. Undisputed is three, I know David Diaz is another titlist. Maybe he has a third belt, I dont know.

              The WBA cares more about $$$ than Boxing.
