what a great moment in boxing history

[NapalmKnuckles]

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

LOL No sh-t. The question is how to refer to the WBA "Super" champions now within the new "super" weight divisions. Danny Garcia will be considered the "Super World Super Lightweight Champion". I understand it but to new/casual fans I'm sure this sounds redundant/ridiculous.

Good to see the sanctioning crooks unifying stuff that doesn't really matter, but I won't play along in this case. It'll always be light bantamweight, light featherweight, light welterweight and light middleweight to me.

I never use "junior" for anything, and the only "super" I resort to is for super featherweight and super middleweight (since both "light lightweight and light light heavyweight" sound rather dumb).

At this point,just name them "super duper champions" and give them a nice cape to go with the belt.

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

ditto 154 will always be JMW. I mean how does SWW look? I'll know what JMW stands for at least

The said, I am old enough to remember when CW has called Junior Heavyweight

[Larry the boss]

I am so thankful i was blessed to witness this great pointless moment in boxing history

[lopez36]

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

this is just for the wbc and wba(I think)...ibf still calls it jr middleweight

[SlySlickSmooth]

I prefer Light Middleweight over Super Welterweight. I also prefer Light Welterweight over Super Lightweight.

But if three/four bodies agree on it together then I'm down for it all.

[Pigeons]
