    Question: If Cotto beats Chavez Jr at 160 for the WBC Silver title

    Would it count as Cotto being WBC champ at MW and being champ in 4 weight classes? Or is the Silver title like an exhibition belt or what? I'm confused, cause isn't Martinez already the WBC 160 champ?

    It would be cool for Cotto to be champ at 4 weight classes that easily. He's gonna murk Chavez Jr.

    NO it does not.

    The Silver title is the interim title which means #1 contender.

      Naw.........

      Its a **** belt. It doesnt mean you're the champ.

      Martinez is the WBC Champ and next in line is Sebastian Zbik.

        Oh okay, so all the silver titlist are just interim champions? It makes sense now. So if you're a WBC interim champ, doesn't that put you next in line to fight the WBC champ? So it should be Martinez vs Chavez Jr?

          Zbik has to get his shot first. But, then is JCC jr next in line for Martinez.
