What is Mikey Garcia doing wrong by having the WBC belt still in his status benefit even though he's fighting for the IBF at 147? These are two distant weight classes.

4. Stripping away Regular champions for unification fights yet not making them mandatory to Super champions.
5. Existence of WBA Regular "world champion" belt at all.
6... Yet allow WBA Regular unified with 2 belts in different division...

Once again another indication that sanctioning bodies are also all about the money. Smh, what a shame. I understand boxing is a business but at least the sanctioning bodies should have some sort of integrity to the sport.

Canelo had the actual WBC belt. Trout had the Regular version of the WBA while Floyd still had the "Super." So all it meant that the loser loses the WBA Regular and has a shot at the WBA Super with Floyd Mayweather.
The Unification between Floyd and Canelo was TECHNICALLY a World Unification. We are getting confused that Trout lost his Regular belt but wasn't a unification. Just because we can casually call it a "unification" isn't technically correct with respect to lineage.
I wonder how many people still don't understand that Floyd, having the WBA Super since beating Cotto… the WBA Super wasn't vacant until Lara vs Foreman. That's the point of the article. Did Floyd ever defend his WBA Super against the long awaited Lara with his Regular.
Therefore, we're talking about Floyd having the WBA Super since Cotto up to his retirement vs Canelo having a secondary trinket called the Regular since December 15, 2018, 40 days ago. It's pure comedy how many boxing fans here don't get the point of the article. Have there been any from industry that Canelo must defend this 168 Regular belt since 40 days ago? Hells no! lol. It's not important, and Callum Smith has the real strap.
Here are more ******ed way industry uses "unification" just to make headlines. Is WBA Super + a WBA Regular a "unification?" That's utter ******ed and should be exclusive at the very least to different organzations…

Would you even make this opinion if Pacquiao had a Regular belt at 140 as well?
Don't be suckered by headlines. Read the article. It's a failed attempt to get readers view the Davis situation, and defame Alvarez at the same time, which doesn't make any sense. Seems like what Michael Montero would do..Last edited by Thuglife Nelo; 02-09-2019, 01:54 AM.
