The only reason he wants to keep the Mickey mouse belt is because he is going for Joe louis' record consecutive defences (obviously at heavy) and if he vacates he will lose the chance! An absolute farce in my eyes not because he has not been the best super middle around for a decade but because he didn't beat the best for it if you understand my meaning. Calzaghe beat Eubank for the vacant WBO belt and I know that Jones had just vacated the IBF belt to fight at LH but for a long time Sven Ottke was regarded as the top man at supermiddleweight and had something like 20 defences of the WBC strap. When in Louis day there is no way this could have happened as there could be only one champ and the way boxing was then if there were two men ruling they would have fought each other, just not the crappy politics of these days back then i'm afraid!
The Ring should become an official governing body and end all the arguments and money making scams !
