Joe Calzaghe was a super champion, so was Acelino Freitas at super featherweight, the most they can do is make Kahn Barrera for an interim title.

I thought the WBOgus only made 'Super' champs after 10 defences? That was how it used to be. Then they got a nice blue ocean bit on the world of their belt to make it look different to WBO normal belts.

They make this shit up as they go along!

Thats how it was, but money talks!

Double sanctioning fees for Regular and Super!

warren will put khan foward for the belt as its his fav belt in the world.

From my understanding being named the WBO super champion is different from WBA super champion.

WBO Super champion is given to a fighter only if he has made many defenses or has unified with another of the big four sanctioning bodies.

It doesn't mean there will be another WBO Champion.

It's set up to give the champ in this case Marquez more flexability.

He only has to fight a mandatory every two years or eighteen months instead of 12 months.

I thinks it's a good idea and something all the sanctioning bodies should do.

If all the organisations did it that means you could hold all four belts and make two defenses a year.

Giving greater incentive to be ranked number one at an organisation so you get a shot at the man.

So Prescott Smashes the golden boy to bits within seconds, so the golden boy is awarded the WBO "semi final" shot.

Disgusting. I'd like to see how Wanky Franky can justify this one ?
