I noticed a while back that Boxrec removed all WBA titles, past & present, from documented contests.

While I consider the WBA the biggest laughing stock of the 4 main recognised bodies (and they had stiff competition), I'm interested to know what was the final straw that broke the camel's back ?

The "Super" champion invention was what did it for me, but the deletion of their existence on Boxrec came later.

Super champion, FFS. Next up will be Superhero champion.

It was always a preposterous idea from the WBA. Throw in the interim champion nonsense too and there could be 3 WBA "world" champions at any given weight

The organizations don't do it because having only one "world" champion in each weight class would be logical and make sense - but not cents. I actually follow the sport and still have to think about who is the "real" world champion for some of the alphabet organizations, even when looking at a list of their world, super, regular, interim, and in-recess champs.
