I agree with Cuevas. None of these title holders are the champ.

It's the truth. There is still no welterweight champion since Crawford vacated.

Yeah but he's fighting him. If he wins, is he Wbos champion or was the email belt in his "CC"?

Hes a title holder...not the champ. Big difference. Fcuk what the belt orgs say. There's only 1 champion. It happens when either 1 becomes undisputed (ring) or lineal

He's not wrong. Boots, Stanionis, Norman Jr. and Barrios all received their current belts via e-mail. Ugas was a stiff, but at least he won his WBA belt vs. Manny.

Seems there is plenty of hype for Norman jr. I might be missing something because I don’t see it. He should have fought Ennis when it was offered . That fact tells me something. I think Cuevas will be a tough ask . Norman jr record is very poor compared other top guy’s @ 147 .

Brian Norman is an email champ who ducked Boots Ennis by pricing himself out. And now he is fighting Cuevas for less money instead.

[boxingitis]

He is a champ. The Email Champ.

I wonder what Cuevas thinks about Norman now ? I was impressed with Normans patience and power. I didn't think that he could crack like that. Cuevas got up and decided that he'd had enough of that.
