    I don't understand why the boxing media, fans just don't drop the WBA. Treat it like the IBO, WBF, IBA etc.

    It has to start with the media, though. As fans we have little real power to do those things. We can talk about it.... we can wish it.... but in the end nothing gets done. It's just like atrocious judging.

    Oh so now we are helpless in the public but when I said it on another thread you didn't see that phenomenon

    These alphabet soup organizations are much like the alphabet soup of the mainstream media doing their own corrupted bullshit while we have no choice but to sit and watch

    The thing is the WBA is like the Torries or the GOP. They are effectively where it all started. Will always have a bit of history behind it. Sad, but true.

    The wba does loooove those sanctioning fees. Hence the asinine multi champions. We're talking after all about the alphabet syndicate who added a dead fighter to their ranks and has held 'interim' title fights on the exact same cards as its 'real' title fight. They even violated their own by-laws and contract that stated Travis Simms would get winner of Mosley v Wright I within 90 days after Simms agreed to step aside. No compensation, no step aside fee and then they stripped him. At the time it read like a 100 percent screw job where lawsuits were thrown around on a guy holding a belt but minus the name.

    History is what they need to be.

    Really disappointing news..Charr tests dirty. Again (?). So he and Oquendo is off. Why not move Miller into the slot and get this drawn out kidney stone over with.

    Don King must be licking his lips with Bryan at #1 in their ratings.
