Comments Thread For: Machado: Everyone Knows I'm Real WBA Champ, Not Gervonta Davis

Would be illegal. Davis has several years left on his contract with Mayweather.

how do you know how many years are left on davis's contract water boy

He's not lying he literally knocked out the true WBA champ in the ring then after he did it he watched as they demoted his belt from super to regular

That's not exactly what happened. He knocked out the former WBA super champion who had already been stripped of the title for missing weight. In the process, he won the vacant WBA world championship. This is a perfect example of why people shouldn't just pretend the super championship is the world championship and that the world championship isn't the world championship. Best to just stick with the truth.

Machado had the misfortune of coming along when the WBA was legitimately trying to get rid of the WBA super championship. Promoters like Mayweather pressuring the WBA to bring the super championship back is the reason the WBA gave up on reducing titles. The promoters don't want them to reduce. The networks don't want them to reduce. Nobody in the industry wants them to reduce, except for maybe the IBO, who lost a ton of momentum thanks to the super championship.

Why would I bother answering your question when you're being so rude?

Gervonta should be kissing Floyd feet for all he’s done for him

It's kissing Floyd's daughter that's the problem, not his feet.

I've been wondering about this for a while myself. Machado won the belt from it's rightful holder

No, he won a vacant title. He beat a former champion who had been stripped before he beat him.

Boycott the WBA..take them out of business.they are ruining the sport

Agree 100%. Everyone should have stopped recognizing the WBA in 2001 when they introduced the super championship.

He's not wrong, they stiffed him in that situation.

The wba,wbc and wbo are all overly corrupt in plain view.

The ibf used to be corrupt, but is now on the straight and narrow. Unfortunately it has the worst ranked fighters I have ever seen.

All praise the ibo? LOL

IBF seems to be the only ones that follow their own rules. But I agree they have the worst rankings outside of their Champions.

The Champs on their list are VERY solid if not better than the other ones.

correction:

" A great example of why you can't just try to pretend " that it is possible for a sanctioning body to recognize more than one champion per division

All leagues in all sports recognize multiple champions. But nothing should be more important than being champion of the world. The NFL, NBA, etc have division champions, conference champions, but one world champion.

The media ****ed up by trying to be cute instead of just being honest. If they'd been honest about who the WBA world champion was and refused to recognize the WBA super championship, the top stars would have revolted until the WBA got rid of the super title. Instead, the media invented the nonexistent "regular" title and created this whole mess.

the name, is not the problem..... the amount, is the problem

Wrong. Because before 2001, the WBA still had interim titles, regional titles, continental titles, intercontinental titles, international titles, latino titles, etc. Adding another title wouldn't have been a problem if the media had done their job and been honest about who was WBA world champion.

The WBA will never stop the madness until people stop recognizing the super title. The WBC has diamond champions, but nobody tries to pretend they're actually the WBC world champion, while then pretending the WBC world champion is actually the nonexistent WBC "regular" champion. It's that lying about who the world champion of the WBA is that created this mess.

the highest ranked champion, is obviously the real champion

There's no such thing as WBA real champion. Stop trying to invent what doesn't exist. Muhammad Ali was the WBA world champion. Not WBA super champion. Not WBA real champion. Not WBA fake champion. The WBA super championship is a different championship from the WBA world championship.

If the fact that the WBA frequently strips their best world champions and awards them the WBA super championship makes you value the WBA world championship less, good. You should value it less. All of the WBA championships are a joke.

That's because the stars prefer corruption.
