    WBC to Strip Bradley, Morales-Barripos for the Vacant title!

    [IMG]http://*********.com/Boxing/morales4.jpg[/IMG]


    Today at the WBC headquarters in Mexico City, Erik Morales visited president Jose Sulaiman and they spoke about Golden Boy’s request to sanction Erik “El Terrible” Morales vs. Jorge “The Hyena” Barrios for the absolute WBC super lightweight title. Because Timothy Bradley has more than 6 months of inactivity in the ring and Devon Alexander announced that he’ll go up to the welterweight division, the WBC sent a request to the Board of Governors, based on the rule that says: “a former champion has the right to contest the title,” to authorize Barrios against Morales for the super lightweight absolute title.

    “I have made many changes in my life to return to boxing. I showed Maidana there is something called school and if you do good, technique is above all,” said Morales. He added, “this is a great opportunity, I’m on the right track, next year we’ll face the best in the world. I feel fully experienced strong and young.”

    “Timothy Bradley will be a champion in recess, and most likely will rise to the welterweight division,” said Sulaiman.

      I don't mind them stripping him but obviously handing it over to the morales-Barrios winner is a joke

              Ironic thing is, all these guys are moving to 147 anyway by 2012.

              Alexander (already)
              Bradley
              Khan
              Maidana
              Ortiz (already)
              Guerrero


              With these left potentially:

              Rios
              Matthyse
              Morales (?)
              Katsidis
              JMM (?)

              I think that'll be Rios' big shot to make a name for himself as the 140 king on his way to 147 inevitably.

                This is Golden Boy trying to lay the foundations for Khan vs Morales, a fight that no one is interested in or calling for. By giving Morales a paper title, and yes the WBC is a paper title, they hope to (1) make the fight more attractive (2) get Khan up on Bradley even more.

                In my view, neither Bradley nor Khan should be talking about Pacquiao or Mayweather until they fight each other.

                  Maidana won a decision against Morales,if anything the Maidana Guerrero fight should be for the WBC title if they strip Bradley.

                  Morales is a legend but he hasn't earned a title shot at JWW, even worse against a fighter who doesn't even fight at JWW. (Isn't Barrios a Super featherweight or lightweight?)
