    Ward and Froch are both WBA champions. Ward is the Super Champion, Froch is the Regular (unified) champion.

    Here's a wikipedia link for all the current champs in boxing today:

      Ward is just the true champ.

        Honestly, this is ridiculous.
        Yes, he should be. Ward didn't hold any titles when he won the WBA Super title, so that should really have been downgraded to a WBA Interim title, with him having first crack at the WBA regular champion.

        The whole situation was affected by the super 6 and has quickly descended into an absolute farce, with nobody showing any willingness to try and sort it out.

          I remember Cotto's title being upgraded to "Super" after winning the "Regular" one from Foreman, before fighting Mayorga. Makes no sense.

            You can hold The Ring belt even if you down hold any of the 4 major alphabet titles.

            Ricky Hatton had The Ring belt and IBO when he fought Pacquaio
