Yep. Although after Mike got back the WBC belt in 96 after Bowe had won the Holy trilogy, I do remember slight rumblings on them fightin. It was never pursued cuz Tyson was still unifyin and Bowe had Golota to deal wit at the time, but Sulaiman wasn't havin it anyway.

And the Ring belt is gainin more cred, so ideally more fighters will be willin to **** on the alphabet belts. Since the belts bring bargainin power, many fighters won't tho.

Yeah.And I don't understand that.

Like Haye saying that having that Mickey Mouse WBA belt will give him power negociating with the Clits.

Like that WBA belt means anything.....Valuev got a gift in the eliminator with Donald,and then another with Ruiz in the title fight and then lost it to Chagaev who became a Champ in recess and then Valuev fought for the vacant title and then got another gift with Evander meanwhile Chagaev loses to Wlad but his Championship was in recess.L O L.
