Re: More Interim Craziness from the WBA
It is all about the money. The WBA is corrupt and so is the other 3.
I do hold the IBF and WBO bodies above the WBA and WBC. But in someways they have their flawess.
But more Belts from them makes perfect sense since they have done this since when they started this Super and Regular BS.
And claiming up for a shot ain't real. Boxing is great when it does it old school. When all this cash flow is dependent on a belt rather then a good resumé, I do loss my temper!
Then again, cause life is what it is, Im going with joy when someone gets a belt. But it has no meaning really. Still Im going with Lineal and paperchamps.
How is the lineal guy in the HW? Ruiz got a claim since He won against AJ, who got it from beating Wlad. How lost his claim to Tyson back in 2015; afterword he lost his s**t and was off for 3 years. So he got one too. So by accounts we got two lineal champs; cause Tyson did not loss ia claim in the ring. And is a top dogs in the div. So yeah, boxing is weird.
Sorry for my rant. WBA pisses me off.

Ruiz beat AJ who beat Wlad (after he already lost to Fury) So he was no longer the man to beat.Paci wrote: ↑24 Jul 2019, 14:41

Re: More Interim Craziness from the WBA
So, Wilder won't fight Whyte at any $$$. Righto, then make him the "Franchise Champion" and he doesn't have to face any mandatory opponents, just keep beating up Al's in-house floozies until he is 50-0 and The Best Ever.
