Looks like Dinamita is still the super champ, the real champ of WBO..

During the last few hours it was announced by the camp of Ricky Burns that three-time world champion Juan Manuel Marquez had left the division and moved to welterweight, therefore Burns is now WBO lightweight world champion. However, over the telephone on Thursday Marquez said he has been talking to WBO President Francisco Valcarcel and been assured that the WBO lightweight “super” world championship title remains with him. Mexican and international media published the recognition that made Burns regular WBO lightweight champion and Marquez was informed immediately and began the search for the correct information. He is also hoping to be reinstated as WBA lightweight “super” champion after that title was stripped earlier this month.

Thats quite irritating. You would have thought they would have got two good boxers to have a fight for it at least. Im sure there are plenty of people out there who would want to fight for a vacant belt.
Robert Guerrero, Miguel Vazquez, Brandon Rios, Antonio DeMarco and even Kevin mitchell.
All ranked in the top ten of the lightweight devision. Im sure they could have made one of those fights happen and given the belt away then.
