Bilbo informed me of this a while ago. I think it was when Mundine was champion and Kessler the "super champion", I could be totally off but I think that was the case.

I rue the day when boxing has digressed so far that instead of "unification" fights digress so far from the days of the welterweight and middleweight titles being unified to the day there is a WBA unification bout, to see who is the REAL WBA champion. It's absolutely shameful, can't believe they got away with that.
when a fighter holds two or more belts the WBA will class them as a 'supr champion' and then release the regular WBA belt back...

I.E when kessler beat mundane he won the WBA belt, when he beat buyer he became the WBC champ and WBA SUPER champion.

Taylor was/is the WBA super champion too...
Fine call him a super champion, coll him grand champion, coll him high king of the WBA for all I care. But don't go around giving some other guy a tottally bogus title and call him WBA champion too. I mean if I were the "Super Champion" I'd be pissed if there was some other guy calling himself a WBA champ and holding a belt I had to spill my blood to get and they just gave it to some contender who didn't deserve it.
