WBC promotes racism and segregation???? You decide?

Spinks...
You respected these pieces of **** up until this point ?

The belt wouldn't promote racial segregation, more like regional opportunities. There are white africans and chinese africans in africa. It's not limited to blacks. This actually might make it easier for regional boxers to get WORLD title shots by divided the best boxers per region, then perhaps having a tourny. I think too many people are being presumptuous regarding the objective behind this regional title. I will wait a while before providing my own opinion.

Is there an African title equivalent to the European, North American,etc titles? If there is then there would seem little point in this.

To further update on this matter:

In addition to the WBC's 'All African World Championship,' which is for "African descendants who live all over the world," WBC President Jose Sulaiman has announced plans to create an 'All Asian World Championship,' and an 'All Latin American World Championship.' "These champonships would be created with the support and approval of all of the national boxing federations in the corresponding areas," stated Sulaiman.


This is ridiculous and I hope no fighter accepts these, besides I thought thats what the wbc continentals belts were for...My lord


It would be different if they were like "ok these belts cant leave these countries type deal" but they are playing the race card in saying that only "insert ethnic background here" can hold these championships....

Shame on you WBC...

IBF gets my nod as the most credible at this point.


Im anxious to see how the fighters respond to this.

What is wrong with Sulaiman? Too many belts titles . . . generating money?

bchynn-What do you think the continental titles are for????

Jabsrstiff-Out of the other organizations I have respected the wbc most, I mean the IBO did give roy jones their belt so he can come to the ring first...Ok...However I guess the WBC did it themselves with Roy and that caused their bankruptcy....Belts dont mean **** anymore....Peoples champions is where its at.....

[bchynn]

I don't know of any African belts that are as regarded as European and North American titles. Are there?
