if that was the case he would have gave up his 154 belt by now.

I think he was stripped a couple months ago

naw he wasnt




WBA Executive Vice President Gilberto Jesus Mendoza has updated *********.com on the status of the super welterweight division. “Floyd (Mayweather) has never been stripped of the title of WBA super champion. This condition is not automatic with unification. We refer to rule #6 definitions, specifically for unified champions, and rule #18 which establishes the powers of the presidency to create these super championships.”

According to Mendoza, Mayweather asked special permission to maintain his status and the Alvarez-Trout was approved under special conditions that the WBA will explain later. More to come.


Although WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather recently stated that he had been stripped of his WBA super welterweight “super” title, that appears to not be the case. Mayweather is still listed as super champion in the new WBA ratings released today.

Meanwhile, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez was named WBA boxer of the month, but did not receive the “super champion” status the WBA created especially for champions who hold the title of two or more organizations recognized by the WBA. Guillermo Rigondeaux, who unified the WBA and WBO titles against Nonito Donaire, also did not receive super champion status. Both are listed as “unified” champions along with WBA/WBO flyweight champion Juan Francisco Estrada.

WBA super champions include Wladimir Klitschko, Andre Ward, Floyd Mayweather, Danny Garcia, Chris John, Anselmo Moreno and Roman Gonzalez. Of that group only Klitschko and Garcia currently hold belts from multiple organizations.

Stop drinking the cool-aid. Canelos last fights were Trout,J.Lopez, Mosley, Cintron, Gomez, Rhodes, and M.Hatton. All of those C level fighters have prepared Canelo to take on the PVP champ? C'mon guys, stop buying into this crap. Canelo is no doubt improving, but he should really fight the best in his division first, like I.Smith, Brundrage, Martirosyan, or Lara.[/QUOTE]

Lol you're being sarcastic, right???!

canelo vs lara or smith is not a joke they are both good fights although ishe would neer get the fight. canelo is good but not this great u all are making him out to be

[umop-ap!sdn]

Money May would make Canelo look "regular". Trout made Canelo look baaaaad at many junctions of the fight, and Trout is not a "Masterful" boxer nor a defensive genius and he managed to make Canelo look sub par, being forced to take rounds and parts of many rounds off just to get enuff gas to muster a full out attack on Trout. Wont work with May. Too smart, too good defensively. May wins an easy lopsided decesion. Canelo SHOULD be hoping to get a few fights under his belt and get May when he is older and on the decline, plus wait till he [Canelo] is more in his prime. The May that fought The Ghost would give Canelo a good ol boxin' lesson!
