How do they defend the fact the guy at #3 lost by KO2 to the guy at #15 a mere 13 months ago!

The bastards

Presumably the fact Fletcher has fought 5 times in that period paying a PABA sanctioning fee more than once has, ahem, helped his case.

Dont get what you deserve, get what you negotiate.

Bunce said you dont get what you deserve, you get what the company that pays me tells me you deserve.

I'm not sure they could afford to stay there.

Can any average fan?

expert suggestion as I have good friends who live in the south of france.

Stay in a town called Menton which is about 10 km outside of Monaco, The town has nice hotels and bars for a fraction of the price of what you pay in Monaco, plus the train from Menton to Monaco takes 6 mins and is cheap as chips, 4 euros from memory.

Probably not. I heard Stephen Hawking's computer crashed when he was trying to get his head around the way the WBA works.

I cnt keep up, I thought a world champ was the best in the world but now u can b a champ because the best guy is a super champ?? Wtf??? Mind u if Hawkins cnt keep up I dnt feel to bad now ha

Also don't forget one can be promoted from World Champion to Super Champion without fighting for 18 months. ( Beibut Shumenov)

But is he the "Super" PABA champion ?

Now no World title on the line for Murray? Just the interim...

This could be the most dubious trinket any British fighter has ever held. An interim against a victim of British champ? It is not even anywhere near a true eliminator fight.

If Fletcher was to win, would BJS' ranking be retrospectively updated as a consequence ?

The answer to that is no

Golovkin is not going to be Super Champion. So guessing this is for the Interim World Title then.

This can only be a good thing

this now makes Ricky Hatton and Martin Murrary going around saying that they were fighting for a world title and having a press conference, look like fools (even thought it like them both)

Ricky Hatton has forged a career from going around saying he was fighting for a world title. At least Murray went to buenos aires and mennheim and had a go!

Martin will be first to say victory against fletcher is stepping stone to a big fight.
