    It's not for the good of boxing it's for their pockets (sanction fees).

    As Memphis said - belts don't mean anything once a fighter gets to Froch's position in the game.

    they do mean something

    maybe not to the regular/hardcore fans but to the wider audience they do

    the WBA belts have lost their meaning mind you

    i have little idea who is the WBA world champs are in general

    Casual fans don't know the difference between the WBC, W-BNP, W-IRA or W-PONY title. As long as it's a shiny belt called world they'll buy it.

    Bods that get to Froch's position - fame outside the boxing world, massive fanbase, PPV fighter, worldwide recognition etc, won't lose his audience because of a belt.

    Belts are clearly important for younger fighters and "no fans" fighters though.

    I don't see what the fuss is all about anyway , Froch is retired isn't he? He was mandated to fight the Super Champion , who even after 2 years out of the ring offered to come to Froch's home country only for Froch to say " I want it in my back yard!"
    he refused to fight Degale , he didn't want to fight GGG, there's no interest in Kessler3, he wanted to fight a guy who has never fought at SMW (his fights with Vera were catchweight bullshit) and when that guy got beat, he had no options.
    so what are they to do? they could say "ok Carl , we're gonna give you a shiny new belt called the Froch World Title , and you can fight whatever cabbage you want to fight!"

    If Froch doesn't fight Andre Ward, than he isn't worth a fiddler's fuck! FACT.

    The WBA is the worst sanctioning organization.

    Why strip Froch, but not Ward, who has been inactive 18 months?
