Comments Thread For: IBF Refused To Recognize Xu Can as WBA Champion

[Removed Now]

IBF is the only one I really Respect.

Can was always the champ.. Santa Cruz NEVER was the champ.. IBF is a joke per usual

So WBA regular now can be unify with other belts that are not the WBA super??

[Mick Higgs]

The IBF are actually quite right here & it's about time the WBA sorted all this Regular/Super/Interim/Gold **** out!

Why would they? The regular belt is like franchise belt - a joke, the IBF seems to be the only organisation that is increasingly doing things the right way.

The WBA had Leo Santa Cruz as the super champion but when was the last time he fought at that weight class to defend that belt? He moved up to fight for another WBA belt and won it, but they never made that belt available once he left the division, I wonder why.

No they only recognise the super belt, that’s the belt that can be unified. Not the regular belt.

The IBF refused to acknowledge a secondary title?




Good.

Finally I think is the proper response.. you guys from Canada are always classy and polite ... two things my *** ass lacks ... class and politeness two things that are free ..

The WBA "regular" title is a joke and shouldn't be recognized, but you bring up a very good point.

Plenty of fighters are unranked by other sanctioning bodies, titles or not

The rationale in the IBF’s case is political... they may rank a secondary titlist rank 1 only for the secondary titlist to continually decline IBF title shots... making them look bad (undesirable)

Similar situation for WBC mandatories though this one is hit and miss with the IBF
