Comments Thread For: WBA Defends Miguel Cotto, Feels WBC Made Mistakes

[turnedup]

How about no step aside deals, just fight your mandatory and that's that. Problem solved.

[Slowhand]

The logical thing go do is elevate Cotto to Super champion, give Canelo the regular title, give Golovkin the interim title and name Floyd Mayweather the interim interim champion despite never fighting at 160 and being retired. That way, instead of collecting 1, $300,000 fee, they collect 4, $150,000 fees. Everybody wins!

The WBA wants to give every fighter no matter how talented the opportunity to become champion. They are an organization made for the fighters and operate with the highest level of integrity.

Pot, meet kettle. Kettle, pot.

"We would have handled this differently. We would have made Cotto the super champion, Canelo the regular champion, and Golovkin the interim champion."

Which rule did they break? Please let us know the article number so we can verify. Thanks.

According to their own rules, they don't recognize the WBA champion.

Which is why they don't rank Wladimir Klitschko in their top 10.

But..... it looks like either HBO or K2 made it worthwhile for the WBC to conveniently ignore their rules and recognize/rank/install Golovkin as mandatory.

It appears that it was HBO.

Now that you know this, do you care?

Or was my reply as much of a waste of time as your question ?

you do realize that GGG is ranked by the WBC because he defeated former WBC interim champion Marco Rubio in a unification bout, right ?
