Lomachenko confirms he vacated the WBC title. No undisputed unless he beats Devin Han

[Bob Haymon]

The Franchise belt is almost as retarded as the PBC belt. The fans know who the real lightweight champion is. It sure as hell isn't Gayney.

It's a fuckin dumbass situation to be sure. Kinda like the WBA Super and World bullchit. I mean... which is the 'real' title? The WBC would have us believe it's kinda both of 'em, but clearly that ain't acceptable to anyone who feels the WBC championship should mean anything. So which is it?

Probably NSB ought to come together and make a poll on this one, we ain't gonna get a sinsible answer off the WBC but at least we can perhaps come to some kinda consensus amongst ourselves.

Based on all I've read, the real champ is Haney, like Loma is the real WBA champ.

Mind you, I don't recognize any of them, and detest them extremely. If you asked me, I'd say they are all bogus and meaningless. Money talks.

Not the guy who vacated his belt to avoid his mandatory.

Between the screwed up franchise belt and social media interpretations and inferential information, it is all a mess and only fools would count those sources as gospel instead of the gossip and off the cuff statements that it all adds up to. All I want is to see Haney, Loma, Davis, Lopez, Commey, Fortuna, Ryan Garcia, even Rancid Bartholumule for his odd style, etc., all fight each other and see where the chips fall. Too much social media crap that people fall for and not enough top match ups.

Great post. Green K.

The bolded are the only fighters I wanna see mix it up. I don't think Loma has all that much time. Quite frankly, the only fight I'm interested in at 135 is Davis-Loma. It's going to happen.

In a weight division with a Franchise champ, there's only one of two situations now.

1. WBC isn't required to be undisputed; or
2. There's no such thing as undisputed.

Why would someone need Haney's belt to be undisputed? Everyone would dispute that they are undisputed!

Personally, I'd like to see this as WBC putting the last nail in their own coffin.

WBC belts are worthless. We just need more people to view it that way.

Your post was going well until you inserted your gay fantasies. Keep it clean.

What mandatory? Did the WBC order that fight? Even if they did Loma is still fighting Lopez or Commey who are levels above Haney who looks terrible against cab drivers and fabricates a shoulder injury excuse.

But the fact remains that Haney is the WBC Champ.

If you think that title is worthless, then fine. I agree. But he's still the champ.

The World doesn't matter in America!

Go to any boxing gym in America they'll tell you those two foreigners come to America and duck our top Fighters!

The United States is part of the world, dumbass. Gyms in the U.S. will say Canelo and Lomachenko are the real champs too, lmao.

The bold: I agree, and think this site is best place to start, since a big percentage of the posters are real, knowledgeable boxing fans.

P4P is also just as fake.
