Comments Thread For: WBC, WBA Reach Agreement on Unified Division Names

[Cechmate]

To me, 140 will always be light-welterweight. And 154 will always be Jr Middle.

This ^^^^^^^^^^

So everything is super now. But like others said I like junior ww and junior middle weight

Lol. Imagine starting out as a boxing fan now.
super welter weight.... does that like mean their just way better????

I always hated the names of the "Jr" divisions. The "Jr" belittled the divisions by making them sound childish. Super has always been a better way to name the new divisons.

Only one I have a problem with super lightweight. That just sounds really odd to me.

See I've always thought the opposite. Using Jr. makes it seem like you are champion of a bigger division. While obviously the same, I feel like Jr. Middle is higher up than Super Welter. Also the WBA already has those ridiculous champions so this makes a guy like Danny Garcia the Super Lightweight Super Champion. I know, nitpicky, but it's always been my preference.

LOL. What if your the WBA Super Super Welterweight champion.

Looks like I will have to quit saying "junior middleweight" and "light middleweight".

Should I say super welterweight WBA super Champion, or WBA super super welterweight champion.

Nothing matters until the WBA, WBC and the rest make moves to unify all the pieces and quit stripping any champion that wants to unify.

You guys are making this thing bigger than it really is, besides most of the hardcore fans just dig deep into the welter and middleweight divisions.

Instead of Jr. Welterweight it's Super lightweight. (Danny Garcia - Lucas Matthysse - Ruslan Provodnikov - Possible Pacquiao future weight - 140lbs
Instead of Jr. Middleweight it's Super Welterweight. (Canelo Alvarez - Erislandy Lara - Demetrius Andrade - Charlo Bros - 154lbs

Anyway with the media and people calling it like it is now you'll get used to it, unless you a guy who's been watching hardcore boxing for over 20+ years.

Anyway Here in Mexico we use both terms Jr. Middeweight or Super Welterweight, Jr. Welterweight of Super LIghtweight.

BTW it's not Super Super welterweight, It's just Super welterweight. it's really not that hard.

Thanks for the explanation because i was lost and had no idea for a minute there....

LOL. That's the least of my concerns. Now let's get to the good stuff like mandatory unifications.

I like that although i would rather the title holder fight the #1 contender first.

-should he win he will be then elevated to "Champ" from "title-holder".

-after being recognized as the "Champ" he may be granted an "optional" defense against anybody ranked in the Top 10 or Unify with another "Champ"

-in the event we get a Unified Champion, said Unified Champ should defend strictly against a "Champion" and only defend against a #1 contender in the event of no "champion" before being granted an "optional" against anybody ranked in Top 10

And of course get rid of all of the other silly belts n titles(Super, interim, diamind...etc.)

IMO the titles would hold more weight structured this way and the champ would have respectable standards
