Taylors WBA title in limbo
LITTLE ROCK - Jermain Taylor is no longer listed as the World Boxing Association middleweight champion, pending an investigation requested by one of his top challengers.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported Wednesday that fellow middleweight Felix Sturm of Germany requested an inquiry into whether Taylor's championship should be recognized by the WBA. Robert Mack, the WBA's legal director, said Taylor hasn't been stripped of his belt. But he said Taylor was removed from the official ranking list while the investigation proceeds.
Mack said Sturm is questioning whether Taylor had met all the requirements necessary to be the unified champion. Issues include whether Taylor had his last defense sanctioned before the bout.
Taylor is a Little Rock native.

If they strip him it would be one of the worst BS moves by this organization.
Re: Taylors WBA title in limbo
WTf.. This loses me some respect for Sturm I think, an investigation?!?! Of course it's his fucking title.. Plus Sturm already had an offer to fight Taylor and turned it down, what could his reasoning possibly be.. He beat some 40 yr old unknown Masoe, other then that he hasn't done shit since DLH.. Why not. I think he's a bit of a coward perhaps.

Thats just a shame....
He deserves his Championship and now we are having to have a shadow cast over the biggest match of the year in Winky and Taylor
I hope they resolve this now! :(
Re: Taylors WBA title in limbo
all the sanctioning bodies are being ridiculous now it seems, the IBF with Judah, and this crap.. It's like they are reminding us how fucking corrupt they are and how badly boxing needs 1 commission.
