Comments Thread For: Kosei Tanaka Named "Super" Champion By WBO

[ceylon mooney]

this is weird. i dont get “super.” hasnt this always been the case? u have WBO belt, u can jump to front of the line and make urself mandatory in a new weight class.

Tanaka is a great talent, no doubt. He has a few decent wins but his best win is Taguchi in what turned out to be his final fight. He's definitely a p4p fighter, if he beats Martinez and Mthalane he'd have some resume at only 24/25!

thatd b off the chain man. i cant pick a winner for any a thise fights, neither. they all seem 50-50 to me.

Ryoichi Taguchi, Sho Kimura, Angel Acosta, Moises Fuentes, Victorio Saludar, in 15 pro fights for Kosei Tanaka tops what these overrated bums that are considered P4P. ALL WINS.

There's only one champion in WBO. WBO won't create "regular" titles, never did. It's like a honorary title and makes the WBO champion able to challange the WBO champion in the upper weigh class. And Tanaka deserves that. At the time Gervonta Davis was known as the world youngest world champion when he beat Pedraza, It was actually Kosei Tanaka as the youngest world champion at the age of 20. He's 24 now and three weight world champion in 12 fights. Fewest professional fights to win a major world title in three weight classes tied with Lomachenko.

WOOHOO more titles, fk yeeeeeee

Man I didn't even know the WBO did this. Upon brief reading it sounds similar to the WBC franchise belt almost? Or sounds like their inspiration for it anyway at least

Just an honorary title, like what the WBC does for it's huge fights. Meaningless trophy in the grand scheme of things.

Wbo is garbage! Tanaka to good for that garbage belt!

Yep, his resume is more impressive than Crawford's. I agree.
