WBA Continues To Hurt Boxing, Makes John "Super Champ"

[Greatwhitehope]

WBA system makes the most sense to me.

[Deeznuts]

Super title..now John can finally go in the phone booth, put his cape on and fly!!!

[Welter_Skelter]

It's Sad to say.. but the only credible body left is the IBO...That's right the IBO..with their computerized rankings system.. and the fact they rank Champs from other bodies.. makes them the most legit..

How the times have changed..

[Aperion]

It's because Don King still has the power to give his old, mediocre heavyweights like Ruiz underserved title shots.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

This is such a joke, eventually fighters just need too do away with the sanctioning bodies somehow or somethin needs to happen. What the hell is a champion these days anyway? 4 major sanctioning orgs X 16 weight classes = 64 worthless championships. And now, Super Champions. I can't wait for super-duper champions. Then, the Super-major-special champion. Ridiculous.

I tend to agree with ya. Hey, the less subjectivity the better. Isn't the Pac-Hatton fight for an IBO belt?

It is indeed for the IBO 140lb title.. Good on them..

wtf

whatever, i really dont care anymore, those belts are going to fade into obscurity soon..(as they are already doing) because of things like this

i mean really we only care about lineal and ring titles....i personally dont take alphabet belts into any kind of regard anymore, its who you beat and if you are a- the lineal/ring champ

[Zn00p]

WTF... Chris John a superchamp??? WBA is loosing it, they are a looney association.
Well, belts dont mean anything now.... money is all that matters... get into the big money fights... its nice to be called champ... but after retirement and you end up poor... wow! that will hurt....

[K U Y I P]

the people behind this organization are f***ing pathetic..

[Verstyle]

Ruiz's percent of his check.... 20%, trainers 20%, promoters? 60%. That has to be it. One one gets championship fights without doing anything to gain them.
