Just watching froch interview on sky sports website and he said although his got IBF title as well he is only WBA regular champ????

Ward who now only has one belt after vacating WBC is WBA Superchamp!!!!!!

I thought WBA rules was if you had 2 or more of the four recognised belts then you are superchamp

all this makes me laugh WBA title nowadays means shit. WBA champions should be negated somewhat like an IBO title now and shouldn't be recognised as the main in the division

Ward was WBA and WBC champion so he was upgraded to the super champion, but was then stripped of the WBC. Froch then unified the WBA regular title with the IBF, in theory making him super champion, but Ward already held the belt. Despite all this, there's people who talk about the 'big 3' world titles, discounting the WBO, who are far better than the WBA and the WBC, although they aren't brilliant with mandatories, they at least have one champion per division.
