Canelo now a 'Franchise Champion'

[powerpuncher]

The only interest I have in belts whatsoever anymore is for an excuse for the best fighters to fight each other. I don’t care who is a belt holder. I never know who holds which belt honestly. That’s how little I care.

Wait wot :S.... This has got very weird, this is even stranger/ funnier than the wba making guys super champ.

Long overdue for a boycott of the belts

Anyone really surprised?

This is classic WBC bullshit, protecting The Anointed One for life. Inventing phantom, phony belts at will..... public opinion be damned.

It is an "In Your Face" move by the Sulaiman-Mexican Mafia that masquerades as a bonafide organization.

They know eventually Ginger is bound to get KTFO'ed by someone more skilled than him, and that doesn't give away the 30-pound advantage Ginger Boy is used to.

It's an awesome preemptive move in the world of Boxing Bullshit Chess.

Sulaiman, Ginger Boy, and Fishnets (sounds like a chain of cheap lingerie stores) probably entertain each other with orgies among themselves where it's Fishnets in the middle and a bunch of kitchen utensils as toys.




Ron, I was wrong. Boxing is f*cked up beyond repair and all that's left is for someone to pull the chain and watch the whole thing spiral down the drain.

Remember back in the day when the "hardcore" fans ignored the 4 alphabets, all those old threads trying to convince new fans that the WBC is just as shit as the WBO and IBF as bad as WBA, that you can only have one champion per division, yet the belts just became more and more accepted, which has led to this shitfest where the alphabet gangs produced multi belts per division.

Now we have pundits, "experts," fighters and self-proclaimed "hardcore" fans discussing fucking WBC "diamond" champions and WBA "regulars" whilst declaring "lineal means nothing because they don't have a strap"

Poor Britkid is turning in his grave (not literal grave, of course).

I thought the term franchise champion was made up by Ron Swanson. I liked the term and thought it was true too describe Canelo.

I did not think that it was actually real.

Just a little ahead on the news sometimes

Seem to recall you defending the WBA Regular belt as a major title for one guy, but then we know why. Your hypocrisy is a sight to behold. But tell us more from your high horse.

You recall wrong.

I've never given much kudos to ANY strap. When I started watching boxing the WBO didn't even exist, I swiftly realised two "world" champions per division was farcical let alone three, four, five and however many now. Statements like "title defenses" is utterly meaningless to me, only quality of opposition tells us how "great" a "champion" is.

If i've ever mentioned a "regular" title it's almost certainly for the benefit of whomever i'm speaking with. I often play by other peoples rules. What's good for the goose. If you can't beat 'em join 'em.

The very fact you believe i'm a "hypocrite/liar" is because you quite simply fail to comprehend my motives. Irony. Personality.
