The WBC pushes Sergio Martinez into Emeritus position

[sweetpea87]

I don't even know what Emeritus position means, but it doesn't really matter since Serigio holds the one belt that really matters, the Ring belt.

Who cares about ABC belts, Martinez is the RING belt, that's what matters.

Zhitbik I think.

Do you know if HBO were interested in that fight?

I think it means that if you come out of retirement you are entitled to a title shot.Maybe Martinez is a retired without knowing about it............

I am pretty sure they are not.

I can perfectly understand that Martinez is looking for the big money fights, but if the WBC is to preserve the little integrity they have left, then they should strip Sergio. At least that's how I see it with the info at hand.

I know dudes don't care about belts but this is straight up bull****. They found a way to garbage azz jr. The belt.

That is true, but what it means for boxing historians is title defenses become less meaningful when trying to evaluate a fighters career. What does it mean to defend a belt from a corrupt sanctioning body?
