Have The WBA Just stripped Fury too? Look at this!!

[IamInuit]

The devil is in the details. This is an elaborate con-job. They obviously can’t stand the fact that Fury has their belt. Its hilarious that they make the move right after a new unified champion is crowned. It's an alternative to stripping him. What is the reasoning? Why didn't they do this when Wlad was champion? First the IBF strips the guy because he signed to a rematch deal. They pulled the same scam on Jermain Taylor after Hopkins 1. Didn't they know about the rematch clause? What would they have done if it were a two-way, strip Wlad? How could they not know and not have agreed to the terms? The ink was not even dry on the official record and they were already making plans to front a paper title. Now this. Didn't these clowns get any sanctioning fee's from Wlad? They are acting like they could not wait for fragmentation. Apparently, no ceiling exists when it comes to watering this division down.

Trying to use a flawed system to justify a tournament on behalf of it really takes the cake. They were supposed to turf the “regular” crap 2 years ago. Trying to infer that they are trying to deal with that cluster FK now is suspect at best, sanctioned racketeering at worst and all under the gaze of all those
agencies that have busted many of them in the past.

You have to love the Ibf's latest statement:

IBF President Daryl J. Peoples told ESPN Deportes that Martin will have a period of one year to make a mandatory defense of his title.

"Martin won the fight," said Peoples. "So let him enjoy his new belt and he'll have a year to make his mandatory fight. By next week we will know who will be positioned for his mandatory challenger."

Kind of begs the question, why was the new champion Fury not awarded the same year to decide?


Fury made a critical error. He had the balls to say what just about everyone thinks of these belts. Boxers, announcers, managers, broadcasters, forum members across the web continuously belittle these charlatans. He scoffed at them all right off the bat. A cardinal sin. What an opportunity for others to take a stand. The best thing that could ever happen to the sport is all of this metal being sent to recycling. Fury has done what many could have and didn’t. Guys like Floyd and Manny. Does anything make Fury's point better then the caca they are pulling on him now and by extension the fans?


Love the guy or I hate the guy I welcome the revolution he has attempted to start and because its the hev division, someone who can do something about it might even take notice.

To be fair had Klitschko won he would not have rematched Tyson and would have been able to defend. Inside their schedule though? I doubt it. They would probably have allowed him an extension.

The funny thing is Martin already wants to unify and make money. He will take an interim fight while he waits on Fury and Wilder and then potentially Fury wins the belt straight back off him.

If there was a two-way clause though would they have stripped him had he honoured it? I doubt it.

And the WBA. Would they have fielded this silly tournament? I doubt it.

I expect corruption and am a card carrying cynic but to do what these people are doing right in front of everyone with everyone almost ignoring it and the way to turf this meaningless group of tin after complaining about it for 50 years says more about the fan base as a whole then the stupidity of 5 world champions. The only conclusion that one can end with is that in reality, the fans don’t really give a shit whether someone is a paper weight or not.

FFS these same dorks wearing different suits fix freakin tennis. Wasn’t Andy Murray crucified for even mentioning it some years ago? At least tennis though has the appearance of legitimacy at the top. These boxing clowns don’t hide it at all. And it continues. The Ibf has been under a microscope of the FBI since 99 and now Peoples takes one out of the Lee playbook and they can’t see the virus crawling across the slide.

What Fury did should have started an avalanche but barely a pebble has rolled from the mountain top.
Coupled with the farce that is Alvarez and the Wbc you have 3 governing bodies essentially committing fraud in front of the world and hardly a peep.
Not to be undone, the Wbo continues to coddle Crawford and shift their rankings. So that’s 4 of 4.
