Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Sanctioning Bodies Are Out Of Control, I Don't Know Who Champions Are

Teofimo Lopez should be the only wbc champion. Toss that franchise shed and take haneys belt away from him and give it to Teofimo Lopez. Why? Because Teofimo Lopez beat the main man to become the man, Lomachenko. Devin “senior citizen beater” haney literally fought nobody and got his belt for free and on top of that he keeps defending it against old washed up ex champions like gamboa and jorge linares who hadn’t won a big fight in ages

Yes, i's the WBC franchise titles that should be disposed of.

However WBC should order fight for WBC World Title between Lopez and Haney.

The promoters and fighters could also just stop paying these sanctioning fees as well.

Let's keep the green belt and the transparent IBF rulebook. With maybe a probationary period to see if certain rules can be improved by tweaking them.

Nuke everything else.

Great points. And the wba “super champions” should fight the “regular” champions and whoever wins gets the final champion recognition and they toss the remaining belt in the trash where it belongs

Haney put himself in position to fight Lomachenko. It's not his fault that the WBC made Loma the "Franchise" Champion, and allowed him to swerve Haney and fight Lopez! To make things right, they should mandate that the Lopez vs. Kambosos winner must fight Devin Haney next!

boxing orgs are like some charities, poorly regulated money grabbers with the top staff on the take bigtime, actually sounds like promoters too

Someone tell dela 8 ball his guy Ryan refused the mando spot to fight Haney. Fishnets can’t be so coked up that he doesn’t know Haney has a belt.

Life was a lot easier with just 2 belts.

A nice way to stop this would be if promoters and networks stop thirsting for it.

At work, we need to wear belts…we need to. It’s part of your uniform and you need it to carry equipment.

In boxing, it’s like that too now. Everyone needs a belt as part of their uniform and press conferences. Belts in boxing are now like civilians wearing belts in the streets. It’s that saturated. Belts in boxing are like suits and ties. If you are a promoter and your fighter does not have a belt, you are failing as a promoter. Because there is a belt for everyone in every division. And if there isn’t, one can be made up, like the WBC does.

I’m sure he’s referring to Tank with them phony belts at 135 and 140

Haney put himself in that position? By beating who? Unknown cab drivers Antonio Moran , Zaur abdullaev? To make things right the wbc should force Devin Haney to fight a real fighter with a pulse or strip him of the belt, not more of fighting these old washed up ex champions like gamboa and jorge linares
