The WBO Championship Committee has elevated WBO super lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez to super champion status. The super champion designation grants Lopez extra benefits, such as 1) Extension of time for mandatory title defense, 2) Eligibility to be considered for designation as mandatory challenger in higher or lower divisions, 3) More favorable splits in purse bids.

If he isn’t going to move up and fight Crawford (by Valentines Day, 5 months from now), who really cares what the WBO calls him at 140? He has to fight 1 of these guys in a defense in the next 6 months (unless injured):
or who cares about him anymore?
Arnold Barboza
Jose Ramirez
Shohjahon Ergashev
Liam Paro
Don’t understand this. Lopez retired and there has not been any statement ( that I know of) made by him of coming out of retirement. Seems like another example of the bullshit these boxing organisations are good at !!
Naw, he said that he was unretiring when the WBO called his bluff a couple months ago. Lopez is like a surprise each time you open the gift bag. You just never know what fight he is going to give you.
Thanks Killa
No problem Mr. Pine!
Lol!!! Like a freaking Kinder-egg for kids.
Don’t be mad. Gotta show some love sometimes!
Lopez retired? Didn’t know that. I guarantee you, whether he said he did or not, he will fight again, many more times.
another BS title great
Lopez/Ergashev is my choice.
Lopez/Ramirez attracts big time fans and solid money.
Ergashev is fighting Subriel Matias on November 4th.
Yeah great! WBO Super Champion! Whatever the hell that means.
Super champion in super weight class.
I am now proclaiming myself the Super Champion Emeritus at Recess. Do not challenge me with your puny recess skills.
This stuff gets really silly, doesn’t it Michael? I have to joke about it.
Liam paro deserved a shot recovers with his injury against the other contenders
Soon, these alphabet soup baboons will start hyphenating the titles with Marvel Universe terminology like Ultimate etc…
Not sure where I heard it from but it was a televised boxing event in where they announced that a Lopez vs Ramirez fight was likely the next bout to be made by Top Rank
He shouldn’t be champion of anything. Teo is a total hype job.
It’s funny that no one mentions that on this forum we are somehow for some reason being ranked…I see some ranked as interim champion and others as super champion…funny to read complaints about actual title recognitions that people don’t like yet here on fight need forum they follow those same rankings…just an observation
All following the Russell Jr & now charmel way..fight once every 24months.
Until the broadcast and streaming services wake up to see how the moronic sanctioning body system destroyed boxing, there is no hope. Truly sad and pathetic that these sanctioning body clowns dictate to brave boxers and legit promoters.
Just what boxing needs another title. This is sickening. If you’re unable to defend your title or “retired” give up the belt and when you return you should be granted a title shot or a tune-up then a title shot.
This should only be for unified champions. They’re the only ones that deserve extensions for mandatories.
He’s a super champion because he won a title ? Coming off a dreadful performance..he lost prior to That..make me understand
What was the purpose for forming the WBO in 1988? Boxing already had the WBA, WBC & IBF.
