Comments Thread For: Golovkin, Hopkins, Monzon: The Record at Middleweight

[HeadShots]

he won it in 94, what are you on about? wrong decade, nearly ten years out.

seriously think before you hit "submit reply"

so it wasn't even 9 yrs lmao. what was the history of the ibf when bernard got it? lmao

My point is the belt hasn't even been around long. nobody recognized that belt back then.

you're a keyboard warrior. You dont understand context. The sanctioning body agreed it was legit now the title defences are legit. doesn't matter if monzon defended the actual wbc belt.


your entire logic got debunked cus Hopkins was literally defending the 1 ABC belt that nobody cared about.


if you don't recognize GGG's title defences by the exact same logic you can't recognize Hopkins. Period.

[HeadShots]

they are as dishonest, as you are ******.....

if you think it is possible for an organisation to appoint three legitimate "champions"..... then you are just another lame fanboy ***wit

why do you think the WBA have pledged to remove those ****ty titles kid?

lmao. it doesn't matter what you think.

Controversies

The WBA has been plagued with charges of corruption for years. In a 1981 Sports Illustrated article, a WBA judge claimed that he was influenced by the WBA president to support certain fighters. The same article also discussed a variety of bribes paid to WBA officials to obtain title fights or rankings with the organization. In a 1982 interview, the promoter Bob Arum claimed that he had to pay off WBA officials to obtain rankings for his fighters.

Though the "Super Champion" designation are for WBA champions who concurrently hold titles with the WBO, IBF and/or WBC, in some instances, the WBA has designated as "Super Champion" fighters with only the WBA title. (See below for the WBA's explanation of this.) This particular practice has come under scrutiny, as several boxing experts consider it a means for the organization to gain more sanctioning fees within each division.

The WBA has even been known to recognize three different fighters as one form of champion or another in the same weight class ("Super", "Regular", and "interim champion"), and there have been occasions where two different WBA "World" champions have defended their own versions of the same title, in the same weight class, on the same night, in two different parts of the world.

A WBA champion may be promoted to "Super Champion" without winning another organization's title: Chris John, Floyd Mayweather Jr., and Anselmo Moreno are examples



FACT: the WBA appoint three " champions " because of greed and corruption

the notion of three " champions " is absolutely fkn ABSURD !!

anyone with a clue should be ridiculing the WBA, especially true boxing fans..... and especially when it dilutes the standards within boxing

btw, regarding the " but that title is new " angle.....

the WBA " regular " title was introduced in 2009

forget that bullshht..... FACT: it is TOTALLY FKN ABSURD for the WBA to appoint three "champions" lol /FACT:

so it wasn't even 9 yrs lmao.

u just quoted 83 to me, i just said he won it in 94 that is by definition, incontestably 9 years difference. u have no point. the ibf was recognised by others when bern won it. the ibo is still not recognised. why on earth do u think have a point.

do not reply until u can do the math.


and y on earth am i a keyboard warrior - where did that come from???

[DreamFighter]

lmao. it doesn't matter what you think.

it matters wat the wba think and they think its shyt.

Meh lil' g has always been a fraud from day one with his fake titles. One of the worst technique and skill from a "top level" boxer ever. Disgusting to look at. As soon as he fights a half decent boxer he gets a gift. He got exposed by Canelo last year too.

Bum Bum Bum is most appropriate for this fool.

looool

Hahahahaha fckin fraud. Prime B-hop owns lil G.

Having multiple champions in one weight division is a scam. Plain and simple.
