Nobody recognizes the 154 title. Those who do are the same ones who recognize Canelo's title... SAME TITLE!Comment

True, Canelo won it in an even worse fashion, but at least he defended it at 154, though mostly against welters and jwws
Mares' 122 title is also sketchy, won it at 120 vs #10 ranked 118er, made a single defense against another 118er who immediately went back down.Comment

Mares's was. He's small as hellComment

Well funnily enough, the WBA are vague on this point too. Read the rules, it's really a sham. I'll quote the exact wording for you (so you can have a good laugh):
http://wbanews.com/wp-content/upload...ama_8-8-13.pdf Page 8: 2. 'Super Belts'Similarly the Association will grant Super Belts to those champions that make 5 or 10 (if it was the case) successful defenses of his title. These Super Belts will be named after those champions that have been able to defend their title 5 or 10 times.
Yet, they clear their tracks later in their regulations by saying these things:
In exceptional circumstances, the Championships Committee and the President may designate a Champion (other than an Interim Champion) as a Super Champion. The President and Committee may establish criteria for a Super Championship.Pages 10/11: 18. 'Super Champion Status'If the Committee and President designate a Super Champion at the time the boxer is a World Champion, they may also suspend the provisions of Rule C.27
C.27 on that document is basically how they strip, vacate the titles, one of them being 'breaking the rules'. Basically, they can do whatever they want, and these rules are null and void given the President and the 'Committee' agree on it. It's a sham, but the WBC are worse.Comment

Lmao. Nice find, I always thought it was 10 but they'd cut corners by including interim. WBA are the rock bottomWell funnily enough, the WBA are vague on this point too. Read the rules, it's really a sham. I'll quote the exact wording for you (so you can have a good laugh):
