Just wandering if he dropped the belt or was stripped of it after he won the WBC FW tittle of Morales in the rematch and why?

Even before the fight, he said that he didn't need a title to justify his status as champion, since he was considered the best for beating Hamed.
He just didn't even want the belt, so they had a vacancy fight between Morales and Paulie Ayala that got Morales his belt back. -
ah right, good ****, i like Barrera even more now! Wish more champs told them to stuff their belts.

Because, he decided to unify the titles with Johnny Tapia who was the IBF champ. But, Tapia also got stripped by the IBF. Both fighters tried to unify the IBf and WBC, both fighters got stripped. So Barrera and Tapia only fought for the Ring and Lineal title...Comment

It was absurd how many ABC belts lineally ran through Barrera when he lost to Pacquiao. That's why it makes me laugh that there is even debate about whether Pacquiao was a champion at 126. If the Ring belt isn't enough, you can look at all the bull**** times that people were stripped for trying to fight the best fighter in the division.Originally posted by jrosales13 View PostComment

I thought it was because he felt he got robbed in the first fight and WBC sided with Morales. And as soon as he got the belt....he dumped it.Comment
