This will put Senchenko firmly in the top ten at welterweight.

Is there a chance we'll see him fight any of the familiar names: Clottey, Mosley, Berto,etc?

Doubtful. Mosley has the "Super Duper" version of that belt.

He and Hlatshwayo should unify. Then the winner of that fight has a much better chance of seeing bigger names and getting bigger fights.

Why are you always so sarcastic and negative about European fighters, Daggum? Why do you feel a need to ridicule them?

Have you felt this way all your life, or did something happen that caused your hatred?

Do you think Senchenko should be called a World Champion? Due to holding only the ''regular'' vision of the WBA Title.

I think Mosley should be willing to fight him as his mandatory.

Remember Nushnenko was Margarito's mandatory? But they made Mosley Super Champion, feeling he'd never fight him.
