Should WBA Regular Champions, be called World Champion?

[cotto16]

This has been puzzling me for a while, should WBA ''Regular'' world champions be called world champions, when there is a ''Super'' WBA champion aswell.

Ricardo Cordoba
Diosbelys Hurtado
Bernard Dunne
Anthony Mundine
Felix Strum
Silvio Branco

All these fighters have held the ''Regular'' WBA Title at one stage. But do you think due to there being a ''Super'' champion, these men should still be called former or current world champions?

No, they are paper champs

Yeah they should still be called 'World Champions', but it depends what meaning YOU give it.

Its not their fault the WBA are greedy swines and made two belts to double profits.

You could debate over whether the WBA super champion is a world champion either. How much stock do you put into the WBA to respect their sanctioning of champion...or the WBC, IBF or WBO for that matter.

To me, none of these belts mean anything anymore. They are just bargaining chips. If your fighter has one, all power to him, its a light to help guide him through this dark mess of boxing, while drawing more attention to him from the public.

But me, I find my own champion now. Usually its The Ring's.
