    Marquez is the super but also "rightful" WBA champ.

    It was Juan Diaz before the WBA decided to make him "super" champ. Obviously Marquez beat Diaz.

    And obviously the WBA only split up the title to make more money out of it. So obviously it means shit. Like all alphabets.

    Anyway.. Marquez is linear champ through beating Casamayor. So Barrera would need to beat him for "world champion" to mean anything.

    How many guys get a title shot by fighting and beating the top guys 1 through 10? I have no question that the 'super' title is a load of crap but I don't think it's fair to suggest that other boxers don't work the system.

    MAb may not be the fighter he once was as age and time served takes its toll, but he has as much heart as any man who steps in the ring. I don't know how much longer that will carry him, but it has to be respected. Would love to see him leave on a winning note.

    I have no problem with Barrera getting a shot at Moses. Just I wouldn't class him as THE world lightweight champion if he won. Obviously he would be A "world" champion though. Just like Khan is "world" champion for beating Kotelnik.

    A lot of "world" champions. Sadly for the sport of boxing only a handful can claim to be THE genuine WORLD champion.

    Actually, Moses was WBA champion when they decided to make the Marquez vs. Diaz fight for the vacant WBA 'Super' Title purely because the vacant WBO belt was on the line. Marquez is only WBA champion because that organisation is full of shit.

    Diaz was the champ when they decided to split the title - for the Freitas unification fight, and lost before the Marquez fight, so you're right he shouldn't have been champ, but neither would Moses be if it hadn't been split.

    Yes.. the WBA along with all other alphabets are utter crap.
