Mayweather Mosely NOT a World Title Bout

[ElTerribleMorales]

who gives a shit that it's not for a World title, something more important is on the line, the Lineal Welterweight Championship

I'm sure floyd said a while back that he only wants to fight for the WBC title.

Barerra never paid sanctioning fees.

I agree with the above, 'the title' doesn't change this fight in the slightest.

I'm sure that Ring Magazine (owned by Golden Boy) will use this chance to add that "this fighter will be recognized by RING as the true and lineal welterweight champion." haha.

I like belts to a certain point, belts IMO identify who's at the top of their division and legitimizes certain fights. But once you've fought in multiple weight classes and you're a known star, belts should just be thrown away unless you're trying to win your first belt in that division. Floyd's already won the WBC Welterweight title and Shane has won a belt multiple titles at 147, it's pointless for a belt to be on the line. Same goes for any of the big stars.

Who gives a crap about a belt when he can barley hold all the one's he has now to even take a picture with them. I wouldn't pay those retarded fee's either. The way these things are set up there are guys with belts who i've even never heard of. Makes me laugh everytime a new name is popped up before hbo fights of guys they have to mention just because they weasled their way into one.

no further comment required

I couldn't even tell you who has which belt in almost every division but know who the main men are

its the casual boxing fan where the problem lies - try explaining to them how the best fighters in a division are not actually the world champion.

I have enough grief at work from a couple of guys who slag the sport off for the confusing multiple champion system as it is

Titles should not dictate fighters careers, which is exactly what they do. Total leeches.

Barrera started this trend of fighters being bigger than belts and then others started doing it too.

Floyds just tight though
