    Can we just as fans agree to recognize Lebedev as WBO CW champ?

    Why respect blatant robberies? He clearly and decisively beat Huck and from now on I won't regard any title fight Huck is in as legit because he isn't the champ, he lost to Lebedev in Germany but like usual over there the house fighter got a gift.

    Even though he doesn't physically have a belt he is the champ, there is video to prove it and I am going to consider any fight Lebedev has until he loses a WBO title fight. I think everyone should to, don't respect the robbery decisions.

    non popular fighters don't get public support when robbed
    most won't engage in an uproar over that decision
    but people who see the fights know the real winners are
    if their favorite isn't involved they'll be honest about it

      Well in one respect it is what it is, but anyone who saw the fight knows the deal and when thinking about him in the future that loss isn't really like a loss.

        Lebedev is the true WBO champ, no doubt.

        Germany is a joke and a disgrace.

          If we said that, then Luis Collazo, Gabriel Campillo, Bernard Hopkins, and a host of others would be champs. It just doesn't work that way, unfortunately.

            I have no problem with that. Unfortunately, it is what it is. Huck should be called a paper champ

              Honestly, it's a WBO belt. I don't really care that much. Lebedev won the fight. I say this when I picked Huck to win. But, it's true. Regardless, I consider Huck less of a fighter than Lebedev at this point. Hopefully, Lebedev can build off the fight and get another shot at a decent fighter in hopes of boosting his profile.

                Well the Collazo and Hopkins fight were disputable even though I think they both won but I would say yes about Campillo, he clearly won and is the real WBA champ Shumenov gets no regard from me as a champion.
