Jose Sulaiman has resigned as president of the WBC - good riddance!

[Lance Uppercut]

actually, sulaiman's non-retirement is good for WBC boxing. he, sulaiman, has made the WBC as the most legit and viable boxing organization in the world. that, cannot be disputed!

You're crazy. What world do you live on?

From fight news:
"Regarding the WBC/WBO unification fight vs. Tim Bradley in January 29, 2011, the WBC will only recognize Alexander as WBC/WBO champion if he wins, but not Bradley if he wins. This stems from Bradley opting to relinquish the WBC belt prior to his unification with then WBO champ Kendall Holt."

THis is the WBC. They consistently do things that are harmful to the sport. They are a cancer, and your support of them, only fuels the flame.

Milmas.... do we really have to state the hundred of wrongdoing Sulaiman did these last years? The shady judgments, having 2 people holding the same belt at the same time and so on? The guy drove the WBC to a total disgrace.

Not to mention those diamond belts and golden belts or whatever the fuck he gives out to get more money.

jose sulaiman probably isn't the most honorable man in boxing but aside from boxers, who are? everybody is in it for the money. and besides, where would boxing be without these sanctioning bodies? i am all for a u.s. commission created to regulate the machinations of boxing but right now, there isn't one. the wbc, wba, ibf, and wbo is all we have along with other junior organizations.

i will admit that these sanctioning bodies have done some pretty stupid things to the sport but then again, they've also done alot of positive things. and if anyone wants to know what they are, they can look them up at these organizations websites.

jose sulaiman has done a lot of good for the safety of boxers. i read recently that the wbc intervened when then champion omar nino romero was erroneously stripped of his world title after his rematch with brian viloria, because his urine test came out positive and then later on it was proven that it was all a lie. omar nino romero did not deserve his title to be taken away.

say what you will about sulaiman but i think he has the most viable and legit organization in boxing. and until something better comes up, these organizations are all we've got!
