Comments Thread For: WBC Boss Attempts to Clarify Franchise Designation; Says Kambosos Should Be Regarded As 'Undisputed'

[Street]

The apple falls not far from the tree.


Mauricio Suleiman, son of Jose Sulaiman, who filed for bankruptcy in 2004 after it couldn't pay a $31M judgment when it was sued by german boxer Graciano Rocchigiani, whose title was taken from him.

Mauricio needs to watch his mouth or his organization's official recognition of who the champ is because he's dangerously trekking close to a lawsuit.

This is why we need Haney vs. Kambosos! No more questions! Settle it in the ring!

[A_State501]

Basically if WBC did not create franchise belt , Haney would not be a "champion", because obviously he did not fight champion caliber guy for it. Case close. Kambossos is the only true Champ!

Loma vacated his belt when he became Franchise champion. Why is that hard to understand? The franchise title wasn't transferable that's why the other bodies don't recognize it as a legitimate belt it doesn't have mandatories. There are only three franchise champions it's not the WBA situation at all so stop that Bs because if Haney was to vacate it then his belt would be real once again if Loma fought another person Teo washed for the vacant belt

So Lopez was correct in what he was saying all along.

ESPN, Yahoo, CBS, FOX, Sporting News, Sports Illustrated, The Athletic, etc all say he's undisputed.

Are they boxing historians? Obviously they are not. It's a known fact that there has only been six undisputed champions in the four major belt era with Josh Taylor and Saul Alvarez being the last two to have ever achieve such a feat. Look it up. The champions are listed below:

1) Bernard Hopkins at Middleweight 2) Jermaine Taylor at Middleweight 3) Terence Crawford at Junior Welterweight 4) Oleksandr Usyk at Cruiserweight 5) Josh Taylor at Junior Welterweight and rounding out the 6) is Saul Canelo Alvarez at Super Middleweight.

Besides. Mauricio Sulaiman never said that George Kambosos, Jr was the undisputed champion at Lightweight; He just said that he should be regarded as such.

However, Sulaiman is a boxing historian and he knows that a boxer can never be considered an undisputed champion from a title belt that was never earned in the ring. He needs to knock it off with the bullshit!

[champion4ever]

This is very easy. Kambosos beat Teofimo lopez who beat Lomachenko. Kambosos beat the main man to become the main man. Who did Devin Haney beat to win that “belt”? NOBODY

No one has ever questioned that Kambosos is the lineal champion but at the same time he can never be considered the undisputed champion because he has a title belt that was never earned or won in a boxing ring. It was freely awarded to Lomachenko in order to avoid fighting Devin Haney; His mandatory challenger. The real WBC Lightweight champion is Devin Haney.

[NotWoke=Woke]

Sulaiman Said Haney is merely the black pride WBC champion. Quote .. Nothing close to actually a champion.

[PBR Streetgang]

I think Peoples, Sulaiman, Mendoza and Valcarcel should box in a 4 man tournament. Whoever wins becomes the unified champion and only that sanctioning body remains.

My guess is it's a final between Peoples and Mendoza with the IBF finally winning by late rounds stoppage.

[M312]

Mauricio can't make up his mind.

But the franchise title isn't one any real fan can support.

It has no mandatories, it follows a champion through divisions, it's a complete mess.

Time for the media and promotors to blacklist this organisation.

So pretty much confirming what everybody with common sense already knew
