WBO a doubt for Cotto/ Pac... IBA might step in.

That's the reason whether this fight was a catchweight or not is irrelevant.

The belts mean eff all. So what does the weight-class matter?

All that's important is the best fights are made. Who seriously gives a flying fuck whether or not Pac becomes a 7-weight champion?

If he beats Cotto it will be a great win over a current great fighter. That's all that's needed.

From now on all belts should be refered to as the WTF titles.Why bother?Is it just to ensure 12 rounds as opposed to 10.I think the IBA was founded by a baseball player/official or something,Dean Chance Edit....thats him lol

And their Heavyweight champion is 44 yr old Oliver McCall haha

Exactly who gives a shit about other trivial stuff. The fight will be made that's the important thing. People just like to complain about this or that.

I agree! People always like to badmouth boxing because they say there are too many belts, etc. & the UFC just likes the best guys to fight each other. Now Manny & Cotto plan to fight @ 145 & that fight will help determine who's one of the better fighters from 140-145 so having the WBO or IBA belt on the line won't make that fight any better or worse for me.

I would not pay for a title fight, but I am a tight git.

Too many belts, too many different boxing commissions, too many politics within each organization (and often dirty politics at that). There needs to be one organization that oversees ALL boxing, perhaps an international boxing organization with bureaus in each country with uniform rules, etc.
