Comments Thread For: WBC Prez Will Not Enter Lopez-Haney Debate Over Who is Real WBC Champ

[Thuglife Nelo]

The WBC has not had a clear champion at lightweight maybe since Adrien Broner beat Antonio Demarco in 2012.

A few later, Jorge Linares was suppose to face Dejan Zlaticanin, due to a right-hand injury Linares was stripped and Zlaticanin was made full champ after beating sum jobbroni. Maurcio Sauliman, then made Linares 'champion in recess' and the WBC would sanction Anthony Crolla vs. Jorge Linares for a WBC 'Diamond' belt, and recognized said contest as a 'unification', whilst Zlaticanin was their official WBC lightweight champion.

That was a sign of things to come : then you had Mickey Garcia coming out of retirement to blast Dejan Zlaticanin for the WBC 135 strap, at the same time Jorge Linares had beat Anthony Crolla for the WBA and claimed the WBC lightweight 'Diamond' championship -- its like what is going on with Lopez-Haney at the moment.

The WBC kept promising the public that they would order Linares vs. Garcia, but Mickey had other plans and left the division.

So Sauliman is true to his word in this article, he is helping boxers make a lot of money, by fabricating world-championship matches, and obliviously helping himself in the progress. Mauricio clearly gives his reasons for diluting and devaluing world-titles, he is just helping poor kids become millionaires, like Devin Haney.

Lets be honest, the boxers/contenders would be wise to take Sauliman's path to riches and fame, the only one that should have an issue is Teofimo Lopez, because he is the lineal champion who has the strongest claim to the thrown, but he too cant complain considering he gladly accepted the 'Franchise' title and the perks that came with it.

This is not going away, the interested parties involve are getting rich and advancing their careers.

And what anomaly at the WBC was Whyte waiting for with Wilder how many years for his shot?

I laugh at those who actually eat of these guy plates, I see so many fan of his on here who subscribe to this new crappy french fry belt, I mean you don’t even need to be a proper boxing fan to understand that we don’t need all of those crap.

Like it was Haney fault that he was given the belt via email. I see posters with good knowledge trying to downplay Haney and calling him a paper champion. SMH

Fact is Lomachenko (Whether that was fault or not) wasn’t really keen on fighting him, so he didn’t have that belt when he fought Lopez, just like Vazquez didn’t have that belt when Naz fought him to make him an undisputed champion at 126 years ago.

You cannot just manipulate things as you go along, if everyone accepts it then you would continue doing so, if everyone rejects it and call you out on it then our sport would move in the right direction, thankfully we have more people speaking out against this guy and his corrupt ways.

Same way he made Breazeale a mandatory over the number one ranked guy In shyte.

Two timing hoe trying to turn everyone against each other

That fat goofy fk is doubling down on his ****** decision to create another bullshhh belt that boxing doesn’t need. This has nothing to do with the Stone Age and revolutionizing boxing. It has to do with him being a cowardly bihhch who got scared to enforce mandatories after canelo declined to face one and also wanting extra sanctioning fees.

Lopez is the number one lightweight in the division, no doubt about it, but by definition he simply isn't the undisputed lightweight champion. That claim is disputed by another world champion who holds a legitimate, full world title. It doesn't matter how Haney got the title, he has it. Luckily for the world of boxing, Sulaimoney doesn't dictate the definition of an undisputed champion, hence why mainstream media and boxing pundits aren't dancing to Sulaimoney's tune.

Another great post

Dillian failed to understand that he had to participate in a final eliminator, he finally did vs. Oscar Rivas. The UK media did not understand WBC protocol and published disinformation to the public , making it seem that poor Shyte was being done wrong.

Mauricio's arrogance sickens me.

Mauricio's arrogance sickens me.

Been telling peoples. He and Margaret Goodman are all shady. She didn’t mind defending Francisco Vargas but not Canelo. Was she afraid to challenge SNAC at the time? the CBP benefits with its alignment to the WBC. VADA is non profit but it’s being sponsored and what’s deyz salaries up in dis hoe! Envelopes doe

[DaNeutral.]

Sulaiman dictates who holds #1 position within his sanctioning body whether you like it or not.. Teo is the clear champ @ 135.. Haney & Ryan titles are the same damn thing.. deal with it punk

So the Real WBC belt, the one held by the past greats over the years like Floyd is actually just a secondary belt and the REALLY REAL belt is actually the brand new FRANCHISE belt?

That's what you are saying?

[Kezzer]

It’s just a ridiculous situation but I’m refusing to acknowledge anything that is a franchise belt - absolutely ****** idea I hope nobody wants to agree with
