        Buffer is paid by the promoter, he'll call him anything they ask within reason - he doesn't want to hurt his own standing as an announcer by calling him the Queen of England, for example, and making himself a laughingstock.

          How can there be an undisputed champion at 135 when there is this much dispute.

            If holding a fake belt counts as “dispute” the basically every undisputed champion is “disputed”

            We can start with Josh Taylor, Barrios was a WBA champion when he was undisputed.

                  you're dopey. barrios was a regular champion not a real champion. a wba super champion fights mandatories and is the real champion. a wbc franchise champion is not a super champion, it is a fake champion who doesnt fight mandatories.

                  loma ducked his mandatory and vacated his belt, he was scared or he was keeping his promoter happy by fighting in house where he thought he'd be protected. However it was effing wrong to just hand haney the belt. There should have been a fight for a vacated belt. Haney would have won that and not get called 'email champion'.

                  haney is dumb, he should have sued them. that 'email champ' tag is now harming his reputation and hence money and growth.
                  that wbc mauricio has yet again harmed the career of a boxer and getting away with it because of cowardly boxers who would rather hold a belt.
                  if i was a boxer, i would have openly spoken out against sulaiman, made as much noise as possible. i would have videos every effing day calling out sulaiman.

                    They do? Super Champions didn’t used to fight mandatories. When did that change?
