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

[WBC WBA IBF]

Hopefully Haney will shut up now with his pretend belt.

He doesn't have a pretend belt. He's the WBC world lightweight champion. It's not his fault the WBC created a Franchise world lightweight championship.

There isn’t much to clarify. They created the franchise belt to appease Canelo because they feared him throwing another tantrum if they tried to force a mandatory on him again, as was the case with ggg after canelo beat khan. To make it seem like it wasn’t just the canelo title, they appeased Loma with it as well. Now they look like idiots trying to justify it all because they created a disorganized mess.

It's surprising that there is not even one of these "reporters" capable of asking this crook a simple question - how can Franchise WBC champ become undisputed if Franchise designation CAN'T be UNIFIED with other 3 major titles (WBA, IBF, WBO)?

If I were Haney, I'd just simply say, "Ok, just give me back al of the sanctioning fees I've paid as a champion or we're going to court.". That's a simple solution.

Franchise is already unified with the WBA, IBF and WBO. WTF are you talking about?

You guys are just slow. He clearly stated in the article that the undisputed is with the pretend belt. Haney has the actual belt.

And you believe Tank has the actual belt as well?

Mauricio is a clown. Why hasn’t Haney thrown that belt in the trash?

[Rodtang]

He's not Mauricio, just give it up.

Nah, this is bullshit! Undisputed my ass! Lomachenko forfeited his right to being undisputed once he relinquished his title to Devin Haney in favor of that Franchise tag. None of the great boxing historians or scholars have ever considered Teofimo Lopez an undisputed champion and neither is Geroge Kambosos, Jr. So far in the four major belt era there has only been six of them and Canelo Alvarez just so happens to be the last one.
