WBA Featherweight title

Hello,

I think your records show that Chris John and Juan Manuel Marquez both held the WBA Featherweight title for a couple of years before their clash in March?
If not then I will get myself down to the optitions.

Cheers,

Rutzini...

The WBA made Marquez a "super champion" and had John fight Gainer to be the "regular champion". So, yeah, there were two WBA Featherweight champs - stupid, but thats the WBA for you.

It was Lewis suggestion too!

WBA SUPER CHAMPIONSHIPS

DEFINITION

The SUPER WORLD CHAMPION CATEGORY OR UNDISPUTED WORLD CHAMPION was created for those World Champions who hold the title of two or more organizations recognized by the WBA, like the World Boxing Council (WBC), the International Boxing Federation (IBF) and the World Boxing Organization (WBO).

The creation of the category of SUPER WORLD CHAMPIONS or UNDISPUTED WORLD CHAMPIONS was born from a suggestion sent to us by Lennox Lewis, World Boxing Association former Heavyweight Champion, which we have considered convenient in order to give the Unified Champions a more flexible time to defend their titles as well as the challengers the chance to fight for the title.
