That IBF belt looks pretty and all...but it means zero for Scull and adds no legitimacy to his status as champion. That particular belt has been passed around like a gravy boat on Thanksgiving. Caleb Plant auctioned it off to Canelo in exchange for $10 million dollars and a beating; and the same thing will happen to Scull. I saw video of this kid and saw absolutely nothing special here. He'd better save his $$.

@lifersjy1 he fought for the vacant belt and did not defeat the champion. The IBF strips Canelo but yet let Caleb Plant sit on his belt for almost a year holding it hostage until he got paid off by Canelo.

 @lifersjy1 he beat a German tomato can. So what.

@saifhussain9701 Belts are essentially worthless nowadays as there are too many sanctioning bodies and inferior champions. Bud Crawford is a perfect example. He thought becoming undisputed at 140 and 147 would make him a PPV star...and the guy is a money loser at the box office. Nobody wants to see him fight because he fights inferior fighters for peanuts in Omaha once every other year. Bud never developed his own brand as a fighter willing to take risks, and It's the reason why he's 38 years old and begging another fighter for a retirement payday. Canelo could throw all his belts away in the trash and he could still sell out any arena in the world. Think about it.

@saifhussain9701 ...and Daniel DuBois is a transitional champion AT BEST so far, and is practically unknown outside the U.K. And Boots and Loma are extremely talented, and owning a worthless belt did not increase their fan base not one bit. That's another myth.

@saifhussain9701 The difference between Canelo and Bud is that Canelo sells tickets and has generated hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue throughout his career. Bud has not. Therefore, Canelo can fight whoever he wants because he makes profitable fights. Bud does not. Bud has never been popular because fans can see he has never put himself in real danger or took any real challenges. Canelo doesn't need Crawford. Crawford needs Canelo because he cannot sell on his own.

@raider_reaper_4194 ...and you're the reason why we keep seeing mismatches and b-level fighters like William Scull, and Caleb Plant win world titles and show up on PPV. The promoters and fighters know there are fans dumb enough to pay good money to see this trash. Why feed someone sirloin steak, when they are happy with cold cuts?

@bgonza2 has nothing to do with anything I'm talking about. What's your point?
