Was there a WBA Regular title at this point? If so, who had it?

[WESS]

I see 3 titles WBC,WBA AND IBF and bunch of other comical bull****

Hey...... hey...... hey..... don't hate! I didn't say they had to be respected. lol I'm just wondering what other fights have taken place that had that many "titles" on the line!

[-Kev-]

If you think about it for a second, just think about it. One guy having 9 titles in his division and the Lineal title. You would thin right away=GOAT.

Roy has to f-cking continue leaving us with terrible KO losses before he leaves the sport. Could have just ended his career in 2009 after Lacy, and that is already pushing it wayyyyy past his prime and shot as hell. But it has been the most acceptable fight to go out on after the Trinidad fight.

Damn Roy beat 3 guys who went on to become Lineal champions at 175. Plus James Toney at 160 who was a former lineal champ, Hopkins won lineal championship at 160 after getting beat by Roy. Beat Tarver who went on to become Ring 175 champion.

[-Kev-]

That is what separates ATG's from wannabe's. The guys you beat go on to become champion again, and rule divisions. Some of these fake top 10 P4P fighters are beating guys who instead go on to retirement.
