    Champion in Recess is bad? PAC got dibs for a title shot whenever.

    What I remember for a Champion in Recess was Floyd and Bellew. I could’ve sworn after Berto I remember Floyd had this tag for 154 I think in the WBA. Or when Bellew beat Makabu and then went in limbo to HW for the Haye fights and returned to Cruiser for Usyk. I remember seeing Bellew as a Champion in recess at Cruiser and later named “Diamond” Champ.

    Champion in Recess gives you dibs for the title again.

    Vitali was champion emeritus which was the same thing, got a shot straight away vs Peter after 4 years out.

    Seems meaningless here though, if Pac wants Spence he doesn't need the WBA to order it.

        Mayweather was never a Champion in recess... He fights and defends titles when he wants to...

          He was stripped once because the WBO didnt allow a champ to hold more than one weight class he had the 147 and 154 titles at the same time.

            If a fighter is a star and they see that they can make more money with them the rules always get bent one way or another.
