Mayweather Declared One And
Only Undisputed WBC Welterweight Champion
THE WBC DECLARES FLOYD MAYWEATHER
AS THE ONE AND THE ONLY
UNDISPUTED WBC CHAMPION OF THE WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION AND
WITHDRAWS RECOGNITION FROM SHANE MOSLEY AS THE INTERIM
CHAMPION OF THAT DIVISION
The Board of Governors is officially
declaring today Floyd Mayweather, as the one and only
undisputed WBC welterweight champion. The organization is
very proud of Floyd Mayweather for becoming one of the
absolute best in the history of the sport, by having won 5
world WBC championships in different divisions, which nobody
else has ever done in the history of the sport.
The reason for withdrawing recognition
from Shane Mosley as the interim WBC welterweight champion,
is that he has violated the rules, by not defending his
interim championship since he won the title from Luis
Collazo on February 10, 2007, with 8 months gone, and he has
not accepted to defend the WBC title in his fight against
Miguel Cotto, which makes his inactivity be of about one or
more years.
The WBC has strongly supported Shane
Mosley since June 17, 2000, when he defeated Oscar de la
Hoya for the welterweight championship.
During the 7 years where he has been in
and out as a champion, he has always fought for the WBC
title, with the absolute support of the WBC.
Even when Mosley has been a
champion with the WBC for the last 7 years, he never
extended the courtesy to the WBC in regards to accepting to
fight for the WBC championship against Miguel Cotto. The
President of the WBC Jose Sulaiman, feels that the WBC does
not deserve that discourtesy
coming from Shane Mosley, who the WBC has supported so much
through the years.
