    Boxing is a joke! I hate this multiple champions crap. Then to make it worst, the WBA has a Super, Regular and Interim champion. Smh and people are acting like these guys are legit champions. Danny Jacobs has a hell of a good, inspirational story but he's not the WBA Middleweight champion. GGG is.

        Surprised there wasn't any announcement on this btw, quite strange.

        Yep. Would love to see a Thurman vs Brook unification fight, although unfortunately it's quite unrealistic atm.

          So is Robert Guerrero now Interim champion?

          Damn, that makes him like a 7 time champion in 5 different weights now or something.

              "Regular champion" started as a new name for interim champion so being the interim-regular champion means you're the guy whose in charge if the other 11 champions all die in an ICBM attack

                  Yet another so called 'World Champion' who still hasn't faced a legit opponent.

                    Chaves was a very legit opponent, Ring Magazine have him in their top 10 at 147.

                    He's fighting another lower top 10 opponent in Guerrero in a few weeks.

                    Stay salty.

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