    Couple of questions about the WBA

    When they gonna order a fight between Cancio and Tank? I think Tank is levels above but Cancio is a tough MF'er and deserves a nice payday.

    And....if Loma drops down to 130 after unifying all the belts at 135, would the WBA install him as the number 1 contender to Tanks title?

    I know some of the organizations do that when their champs move up a division but how about moving down?

    WBO is the only one of the bodies that will put a champ at #1 when they move up. No idea what the WBA is going to do. Hard to follow an organization that has 3-5 champs per weight class.

      AFAIK, a Regular Champion is rarely a mandatory to a Super Champion... The Regular Champion was made to be the one who will fight the mandatory challengers in case the Super Champion is a Unified Champion loaded with mandatories from other organizations (or is a superstar)...

      Usually, champions of the same organization moving to another weight class can earn a shot to the division's champion...

        Cool. If I remeber correctly, Cancio actually beat the real WBA champion at 130 right? By right he should really.be the super champ and Tank the regular champ. Makes sense to have them fight but I'm sure the WBA won't bother if they can get 2 fees instead of 1.

          Tank would pull a Bowe and dump his WBA title in the trash if forced to fight Loma.

            In a way, yes... Machado was supposedly the Super Champion... But for some (probably political) reasons, they downgraded him in favor of Tank-Cuellar winner...

            The Regular Champion can easily challenge the Super Champion anyway, WBA will easily approve it... But yeah, WBA earns a lot of sanctioning fees because of at least 2 reigning champions...
