Thurman now regular WBA champ?

[John Locke]

Thurman-Guerrero should be for the strap, although they both lose to any of the legit champions anyway.

Agree, but technically it doesn't really make a difference.

The legit champions? The winner of Thurman vs Guerrero will be as legit a champion as Brook is.

You're surely not serious?

Nope. Why not?

Brook is full IBF Champion. He beat the man who had the belt. Thurman has been handed a regular title. He hasn't beaten Floyd Mayweather who is the WBA Champion.

The WBA have two legit belts. Do you not consider Lara a proper champ?

No I don't. I didn't know anyone considered regular titles to be "legit" except promoters

Exactly this should be precedent on the way forward.

No more two of the same God damn belt.

I'm not considering Thurman a champion.

Not sure, I just randomly stumbled across it, there was no announcement or anything like that. I don't think Thurman himself even knows about it...

Lucas Matthysse isn't even ranked in the top 15 in the WBA, what a disgrace lol
