Nice.

But they should try to set up a retirement fund for the champions and contenders.

So.....nobody called the WBO?

those 3 have hated on the wbo since the beginning.

wbo was a european thing at the start that's why.

back then the wba,wbc,ibf would always strip their champs for fighting the wbo champ or for fighting for a wbo title.

what the WBA, WBA and IBF should do is pass a law, that no bog name fighter can vacate his belt to fight a big fight, to avoid sanctioning fees.

This is what happened when Floyd fought Mosley.
Mosley vatated the WBA belt, so that Floyd didnt have to pay sanctioning fees.

When these fighters were startin their pro careers, they begged for thos Alphabet titles, and now that they're famous, they turn their backs on them.

That isnt right.

You are insane and that is completely incorrect.

Floyd did not want the title, and thus did not pay the sanctioning fees to be given the title if he won it. Mosley would have retained the belt if he had won the fight. Since Mosley lost, the WBA decided he should lose the strap as well, but that was their choice.

All the sanctioning bodies are scum and are bad for out sport. Please don't defend them, especially with misinformation like that.

right, so what does this mean? are we gonna have 1 title instead of 54?

My point was that Daruisz also had the IBF and WBA belts and rightful #1 status after beating Hill and never lost that status by losing in the ring. Michalczewski wouldn't have been "a mandatory" since he was "the man" not Roy.

Roy would have been a mandatory to the real champ, Dariusz, given the timeline.

Yeah. DM was the linear champion.
