WBC strips Bradley?

[sam420]

Dan Rafeal just posted on twitter that the WBC has stripped Bradley and it will be up for grabs in the Morales Barrios fight. MOrales clearly does not deserve to be fighting for the title and this is disgusting. I think after he wins it, he will go up against Khan who will take the title from him.
However, I do not blame Khan or feel sorry for Bradley as I think he deserved to be stripped after ducking Khan.

Good.

Amir Khan will become the undisputed Light Welterweight champion !!

Since 2009, Bradley has fought only TWICE, and only once has a JWW. Of course he deserves to be stripped. The dude is also not very exciting, and doesn't have too many fans. Does he think he is Mayweather that he can fight so infrequently?

Yea I am happy he got stripped too. But I would have been hapier if Khan got the title off a legitimate 140 pounder rather than Morales. But like I said, I don't blame him, he wanted to fight Bradley real bad!

Don't you also require the WBO belt to become undisputed. Also I'm pretty new to boxing, so how does this fight also involve the Ring magazine belt??

The Ring magazine belt isn't a belt of an actual sanctioning body, you don't have mandatories, get stripped etc from it.
But both fighters and fans rate the ring magazine belt as the most unbiased and hence credible reflection of the number 1 guy in the division.
All the other organizations are money grabbing buffoons with no credibility.

Sure, but I don't get how it's used for fights, i.e.- Khans previous fights never involved the Ring title, so then why would it be fought for in his next fight?

The WBC must be applauded for their no nonsense and common sense approach, If you have not defended those titles like Bradley has failed to do he has no right to continue occupying them.

Its people like Bradley and his goons that are killing boxing, My respect to the WBC and Jose Sulaiman. If Bradley is unable or unwilling to defend his titles the sanctioning bodies had a duty to the sport to step in and allow others the chance to fight for a world title.

As far as I know, as of now, the ring championship at 140 is vacant, and that wont change until the #1guy (khan) fights the #2 guy (bradley)

IMO champions should not avoid their mandatories or mess about delaying fighting. Champions are custodians of the title and not owners of it. The rules should be rigid with clearly defined penalties otherwise it is a charter for piss taking.
