According to the above, Erik Morales could be in line to get himself a title shot. With Bradley moving up to welter and Alexander apparently doing the same, good ol' El Terrible is in line to get the title shot vs Jorge Barrios. Personally I'd like to see Morales at lightweight (I'm sure he'd get the same shot for Soto's old belt) as he'd be slimmer and sharper at the weight, but considering Barrios himself is a shopworn veteran, this is a winnable fight for him. So I guess Khan-Morales for the undisputed title is in the foreseeable future maybe? Black |

My problem is that fighters shouldn't lose title recognition just for inactivity. Not to mention only six months of inactivity. The Champion in Recess was supposed to be an Emeritus Belt that they would give fighters who were champs that could not fight for medical reasons. Tszyu was the first boxer to get an Emeritus Belt If they want Morales to fight Barrios, make it some type of elimination bout, but no belt should go with this fight.
To clear up confusion: The Diamond Belt has no sanctioning fees or rules for defense. It's an honorary belt that the WBC gives to two superfighters, who engage in a contest outside of their weight class. It's a commemorative thing only. Like an Olympic medal. Silver Belts are awarded to the winners of matches between the #1 and #2 champions in the WBC. The Silver Belt is a "Title Elimination winner's belt." They have sanctioning rules and defense requirements. Silver belts replace the phrase, "Interim Champion" which the WBC felt was awkward, When you win a silver belt, you are the automatic contender for the WBC World Championship. Jack |
