      Its ******, but they've had super champions for a long time. They are structurally very similar to the WBA. However, unlike the WBA, they do not crown Regular champions too. At least they don't right now, and they haven't before. Its just adding honours to the existing title

      Why they did that, I have no idea. But nothing has really changed here. The WBO only have 1 world champion per division still

                It's a new title, but it's an honorary one. There's no new belt or 'champion'. In the short term it makes little difference as it's about setting up the Pac-Bradley fight. In the long run it could be abused for dodging mandatories alright.

                  A.K.A bypass the Ali mandatory and have our hands in on this PPV

                  Don't forget they said the winner of Vargas/Bradley had to fight Ali

                    World Kid Ali should sue these fools and bin the belt after he's done with Vargas.

                      Super Champion is probably the most ******ed term in boxing, how can you explain that term to anyone that is not into the sport.

                      Impossible to do with a straight face.
