Froch stripped of his WBA belt

[erics44]

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.

yeah but imagine trying to explain it to someone not in the know

froch is the best fighter in britain, but why isnt he world champ?

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?

You beat me to it. I was wondering the same thing.

Because of the rules. The Super Champion is like a title, the regular champion has the responsibilities. Froch is retiring anyway.

How long should a Champion be allowed to keep his belt, if he does not defend his title Ward
has been injured and keeps his title, strange but contenders should have a chance to fight
for the title.!
But we no it's not as simple as that is it,! the rating of all the governing body's are full of
what's he doing there fighters, they are not there on merit,! just by who's palms you have greased
to get there.

The WBA are probably planning another belt maybe - The former champion unified Super World Belt ?
That way we can have 8 WBA champions per division , sanctioning fee genius.

Felix Strurm!

Froch should really try and make the fight with Ward who should accept the fight in Nottingham, it is only a few miles up the road from Wembley.
