Absolute Madness, Margarito Named "Super" WBA Champ

[Shalafi]

And then people get offended when MMA fanboys say boxing is dead...
These sanctioning bodies are a bunch of fu**ing crooks.

I think you miss the point. Margarito only has ONE title. The SUPER champion has to have more than one title. That's the WBA's justification for even having more than one champion at the same weight. They made two champions at 147 to collects off two fighters. They made one guy a champion without ever fighting the actual title holder. Why not just make 100 champions under the WBA. Next a mandatory is in line, why not just make him the champ and the other guy a super chamo so they dont have to fight.

Well then someone is on Tony's back and giving him full credit towards his win over cotto....

Joshua Clottey is dee only ultra champ.

I suppose this somehow makes the WBA extra money.

Margs is like the Solar System Welterweight Champion

Ouch. You know what this means? Andre Berto is the true champion since he's the only titlelist to make a successful defense! Ridiculous.

Well Margarito was the IBF champ and never lost it in the ring. Arum being an idiot just made Tony give it up so that Clottey and Judah could fight for it.
Margarito should have been allowed to make the unification fight with Cotto so it's Arum's fault here. As Margarito has already schooled Clottey, I think the WBA still considers him the REAL IBF champ.

Clottey is holding a paper title.
