    WBA SUPER super middleweight title

    Just a quick thought, with super middleweight kingpin Andre Ward back in action soon against Edwin Rodriguez and unified champ Carl Froch fighting George Groves, we have two fights where the WBAs 'SUPER' title is on the line. Now if Karoly Balzsay (the WBAs regular champion) was to fight Robert stieglitz, the winner would be a unified champ, thus being elevated by the WBA to 'SUPER' champ status. This would leave the WBAs regular title vacant, thus bumping Stanyslav Kashtanov (the WBAs interim champ) to regular champ. If he was to sign to fight the winner of Bika-dirrel we would have another unified champ being bumped upto 'SUPER' champ. We would have 4 WBA SUPER super middleweight champions, all at the same time. Plus a regular and an interim champ because the WBA couldn't forget about them (as much as we'd want them too). Is this a world you want to live in? Is the super middleweight division that 'super' that we could have 4 super champions all at the same time?

      He's still listed as super champion in their rankings and froch is 'unified' champ (just because they don't want to look ******). Karoly Balzsay isn't even listed under champions but a further look on their website has him as regular champion. The WBA are that embarrassed they are trying to hide a couple of their champions.

          The WBA have long made it so the 'Super' title isn't always given out when unified. Froch isn't the Super champ, as he unified his title with the 'Regular' belt.

          168 just has 2 champs for the WBA which we all know is one of the biggest shams in boxing. Froch is the Regular, Ward is Super. At least it's the two best fighters in the division, but jeez..

            But former WBO champion Karoly Balzsay is still listed on boxrec as the WBA regular champion and he is mentioned on their website as their regular champion when you do a search
