He was showing off all the wbc titles across multiple divisions. not a bunch of random belts in the same division. hes always had the legit WBC title not super not diamond not interim. you clowns choose to fail at reading comprehension or just cant read and comprehend well?Comment

Mauricio Sulaiman is one of the biggest problems in boxing.Comment

He's right, but this is why it always annoyed me that him and Manny didn't work I believe hard enough to unify divisions instead of just hopping from weight class to weight class.
I truly believe that Manny should've tried to completely unify at 135 & 140 then moved up to 147 to fight Floyd.
Floyd could've completely unified 147 against Kell Brook instead of fighting Andre Berto in 2015
It's nowhere near as popular as it was 100 years ago.Comment

I understand exactly what he's saying. What's he is saying is...tank doesn't need to fight Lopez for the belts because according to him those belts don't mean anything. What he isn't saying is this....when he was a fighter he fought for belts that were specially made for him only...And they were "important". We creating history.
Floyd Mayweather*and Conor McGregor will be battling for more than pride when they face each other on Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.*
Per*TMZ Sports, the*World Boxing Council has created a special "Money Belt" for what is being advertised as one of the biggest fights in the history of combat sports.*
The belt contains*3,360 diamonds,*600 sapphires, 160 emeralds and approximately*3.3 pounds of 24-karat gold, and it also features the names of both combatants.*
Here is the extraordinary diamond-encrusted WBC belt which cost more than $1m to create that the winner of Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao will take home after their long-awaited welterweight contest in Las Vegas on 2 May.
In a statement the WBC said: "This exquisite masterpiece is especially designed by the World Boxing Council, for a unique bout that is already gracing the pages of boxing history.
And the list goes on.Comment

mayweather was actually in the best position to reverse this trend when he was still boxing. He was so huge and so far above every other fighter out there in terms of financial draw, EVERYBODY wanted to fight him for the money alone and if Mayweather took a stand and dropped all his belts and said "I dont do titles anymore they lost their meaning", any other fighter out there would be willing to drop or ignore their mandatories just to fight him. He would be making the biggest fights while financially cutting off the ABC's and encouraging other fighters to do.
He did it a little bit by giving up some belts sometimes but he was still loyal to WBC. Think of how many millions WBC ranked in just from mayweather alone, just one fighter. Think of how hard he would have hurt them and the other belts financially if all his fights he cut them off and you get the biggest fights like mayweather-pac made with no belts, the fans all know it determines the true champion of 147 and the true p4p fighter, it would deligitimize the ABC belts and financially ruin them, they would be weakened and have to make mergers... which is what is needed.Comment

Yet loma wasn't stripped. That whole franchise bs is on the wbc. They made it so they can get more sanctioning fees. loma won the ACTUAL real title and lost it to Lopez.
There was no plan from either side to do Loma Haney right after Campbell. The WBC didn't order the two to fight, there was no purse bid, no offers from Eddie or Bob. For you to imply that Loma ducked Haney and then got stripped is nonsense. If anyone was gifted anything it was Haney. He didn't have to beat the men who actually earned the title, he got to fight a scrub who never had a chance of winning it.
& I'm not even saying Haney doesn't have the ability to win a legitimate title, cause I know he can. All I'm saying is, the one he currently holds is bsComment

I never understood why Floyd never tried to go for undisputed. He had the WBA, WBC & the WBO after fighting Manny. All he needed was the IBF from Brook. & It was certainly a winnable fight for him. Instead he fought Berto for God knows why.
Brook at the time was a risk but not that big of a risk. My best guess is after preparing for the Manny fight, he decided he didn't wanna go thru another grueling camp like that. He didn't have to do half the work for Berto or Mcgregor.Comment
