The new WBA ratings have been released and it looks like the title reduction plan is working. There are now five divisions with just one champion recognized.
Dimitry Bivol (light heavyweight)
Jermell Carlo (super welterweightght)
Roger Gutierrez (super featherweight)
Naoya Inoue (bantamweight)
Artem Dalakian (flyweight)
Two more divisions will resolve shortly…
- Murodjon Akhmadaliev will become the sole super bantamweight champion later this month, when the regular title is vacated.
- Gervonta Davis holds the regular titles at lightweight and super lightweight. He will be giving up one belt after his next fight.
There are a whole slew of mandatory title fights and eliminators in the works to get to the goal of one champion per division.
Eighteen weight divisions-how abut some real reform and returning to the original eight divisions when everyone knew who the champions were instead of the everyone is a champion now.
This goes to show that they TRULY did not care what people had to say. Everyone has been complaining about them having all those belts for years and they did nothing. But when they actually made an effort, they got rid of so many of them in like a week and a half.
“There are no five divisions with just one champion recognized”. Think about how insane that is. That also means there are a dozen more divisions with more than one champion.
— Who be Jermell Carlo?
he was the super duper champion in recess
A blindfolded monkey with a dart could come up with better and more honest rankings than those crooked outfits.
These ratings are a farce! Jake Paul is not even ranked! How far boxing has fallen since i started watching in the 80’s…..
