If you were a WBA 'regular' beltholder, you could reasonably assume the above statement entitled you to a shot at the super champion. As we both know, that rarely happened in practice.

That looks like that was from '09. Happened years after the creation of the super belts, and as you say, basically didn't happen until the push to eliminate the Regular belts, which started sometime before 2016. Don't remember the exact year at the moment.

this is the way tanks entire career has gone. hes just taking advantage of a corrupt system and his entitlement. remember when the wba had a champ named machado? machado beat a top guy named corrales to become the one and only wba champ. tank fought cuellar, a guy moving up in weight and coming off a loss and the wba said tank you are now the wba super champ. they just totally made something up out of thin air to get tank the belt even though they already had a champ. they just wanted a "bigger" champ aka one with more money and fame and the only way they could get him is by fu-kking their own champ. they coudlnt even order tank-machado because tank would never take that fight. ever since the wba and tank have been in cahoots making sure their little "champion" gets teh easiest fights possible and that there are no obstructions to all of the bum fights he does. tank then moved up to fight a completely shot gamboa for another you guessed it wba title belt. the corruption knows no boundsLast edited by daggum; 12-20-2023, 05:29 PM.El_Mero likes this.
