Comments Thread For: Adrien Broner Promoted To WBA 'Super Champion' Status

[ИATAS]

I get your point but I agree with Dunn

They could have stripped him for ducking Golovkin, but instead of awarding the belt in a boardroom, sanctioned a fight with the highest available contender, and Golovkin for the Super belt. Even if Golovkin steamrolls that opponent, he won the title in the ring

I agree with that as well. My only point is the two situations are not the same and that the GGG situation was a result of super champs ducking/being stripped (GGG was waiting for several years...), Broner's was for no real reason other than they wanted to?

ridiculous.

The WBA is phuckin garbage.

It's not Broner's fault, he came in, whipped Allakhverdiev's ass, did what he had to do. But he shouldn't be the Super champ, nor have had a title fight in the first place.

Which is why there's no need to try and unify all belts. In his case he's prioritising "unification" fights against C level competition. And if he chooses to try and defend them all. He'll be fighting mandatories against unknown bum after unknown bum. Very similar to Roy Jones' reign at light heavyweight.

10,000% CORRECT! 3%++ per fight X 4 = BROKE! And RJ finally wised up. GGG lets f'kn ******s handle his business and talk, talk talk talk, talk...

One came after the current Super Champion refused to fight his mandatory (Daniel Geale) and was stripped of his Super champion belt and thus awarded to Golovkin.

The other got it for no reason at all.

Natas, respectfully, the WBA elevated both solely so they could benefit from the additional sanctioning fee. They didn't elevate GGG for a noble reason and Broner "just because".

The end result is Both being super champ allows for a regular champ at the same weight, which is wrong in any circumstance.

I get you like GGG and I get he was ducked, but these decisions can't be looked at separately. They must be judged from the perspective of the WBA only.

These decisions are equally wrong and equally damaging to the sport.

Current bet. Come see me 1st when you put $$$$ on GGG and I'll back that up 4 Ward. No amount will even save you.

At this point the WBA has lost all credibility. Even by the piss poor standards of the other sanctioning bodies the WBA are a ****ing shambles.
