Barrera gets WBA world title fight in January!

[Fenster]

Marquez is the 'super' champion.

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.

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.
