Yeah, like Sergio Martínez can fight for the 160 lb anytime he wants as a diamond champion... oh wait!
What's next? They gonna strip Vitali and find some reason to give the title to Arreola? Find the top mexican/mexican american at every division. If they aren't already, they will be champ by the end of the year
this is so gay. whats the point of having boxers fight for contention if they can award a title fight for who ever. Morel is not even ranked in the top 10 in his divison but now he gets a title shot. The WBC is shaming the sport of boxing one paper champion at a time.
