Not true, actually. Campbell officially vacated the belts by failing to make wait, but Funeka would have won those vacated belts had he won since he made weight. Since he lost, the titles remain vacant.Quote:

the one thing we have in our favour (& increases our chances of him being knocked out again) is his own amazing self confidence. He will believe he can beat them:gayfight2:
The more we start ignoring sanctioning body belts, the better.
When Khan and Barrera step into the ring in March, there will only be one legit lightweight champ, and that's the winner of Marquez-Diaz, who will be the Ring/lineal champ.
I agree 100%.
This is an obvious one, Warren was always going to have that WBO belt ready once the fight was on. Also to whoever said Barrera wasn't fancied, check out the Barrera v Khan thread that I think Missy started, Barrera is almost a 3 to 1 favourite amongst posters on here.

The only good thing coming out of this I think is Campbell moving up a division. Who fancies the winner of pac man - hatton to take on Campbell?
I dont think Nate will get his chance to crash teh big time at lightwelter cuz you have good fighters like Holt and Bradley ahead of him in the queue.Quote:

I see Barrera becoming the first ever 4 weight Mexican champion and Nate falling into obscurity
yet more damage done to the sport if this happens - two undeserving , atg present, fighters getting a world title shot.
more damage to the alphabet boys mind which isn't such a bad thing from my point of view.
the more and more this happens the more weight it will give to the Ring belt - thats the only one that means anything to me now. I know who the best fighters are in each division.
Let the alphabet boys continue on their date with oblivion ;)
Barrera undeserving? after his career ? what u been smoking ? its good sh*t whatever it is!Quote:

'at present' I said - let him whoop Khan then take it from there. I will be willing him to get there believe me. Yes he's beaten the best in the past and is a living legend and yes it helps you queue jump.
I said the same about Bruno when he got the McCall shot - I loved Bruno (not in that sense)
The winner of this fight doesn't deserve to call themselves the world champion do they.
He has to beat Barrera first. No matter how old he is that will not be easy.Quote:

I would be pissed off to. These alphabet boys are a joke. Barrera comes back takes on a couple nobodies and Khan is coming back off a 1st round blitz and they might get a crack at a title. What a shame.Quote:
