Can't we just have titles won and lost in the ring, not in the boardroom FFS.
This is how GGG got his title-elevation. Does this mean its ok if Stax and Brush have Broner as #3 p4p LOL?Last edited by ИATAS; 11-06-2015, 01:08 PM.

The WBA is by far the worst though. Would be nice to see them go away forever.

Originally posted by ИATAS View PostIt's not how GGG got his title-elevation. He didn't beat a vacant guy and immediately turn into Super champ. Golovkin was an Interim champion, mandatory to Felix Sturm who continued to duck him and eventually paid the WBA to elevate himself to super WBA champion and duck Golovkin some more, during that time the WBA lifted Golovkin to regular champion after a couple title defenses or whatever and since Sturm was being a hoe. A couple years later, Golovkin was lifted to super WBA champion when the then super WBA champion Daniel Geale refused to fight his mandatory in Golovkin and was stripped his title.
I would hope you hate titles not being won in the ring as well.

Sturm and Geale literally ducked Golovkin. It's the only real way there is to combat ducking is by stripping them of their titles (although they never stripped Sturm since he paid them off hundreds of thousands of dollars). Obviously you want to win it in the ring but when guys don't fight their mandatories what are you supposed to do?
The real problem here is having "regular" and "super" champions in the first damn place. This needs to end, its one of the most embarrassing things about boxing right now.
