The only belts I consider are WBC, WBA, and IBF. Any other belt for me is pphhhhbbbttthh:p.
It would be kinda cool to walk into a fight at MSG wearing the same as watever title is on the line, Just to show how ridiculous the belts are, but $1,500 is a little steep for a mediocre joke.
Some of those belts look like shit.
The best boxing belt by far is the lonsdale belt. Sheer quality.

The only belt I consider is the Ring belt. Alphabet titles are completely meaningless these days. Sad, but true.Quote:

I go on the history of titles tbh like at Heavyweight its the WBA and SMW its the WBO and at 140 its the IBF they have a legacy behind them.
WBU and IBO are joke titles and the WBF well if we considerd that as a title Audley Harrison would be a world champion!
The only belt I follow is the United Arab Emirates title.
Now that's what's up. :cool:

Heck at least our sport is at least real!!!
There should be one belt for each weight simple as that
Champion makes the belt....I'm not gonna detract from one champion
just because he has the WBO and some other guy has WBA or WBC..
It's pretty obvious to most people who the best fighters are....I think Blame lies with promoters/tv company's ETC...They keep making
big deals out of mediocre fighters with straps.Can't blame the organisation themselfs.
WBC
WBO
WBA
if all the organisations just came together and agreed on these as the only premiere world championships with the IBO, IBF, WBU etc all taking their percentages to not be represented at world level the sport of boxing would be a hell of a lot easier for the mutual fan to follow.
Ring magazine title i dont really recognise as it should be recognised as nothing more than a mark up of current divisional rankings.
