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.

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.
