I love boxing and will always watch it, but I no longer care who is ranked #8 in the WBC.
The belts really have ruined it. At least in other sports you have a champion at some point.
The WBC doesn't even care who's ranked #8, other than the fact that they can bestow upon them the Copper Belt.
I agree that the lack of functioning structure takes away from the sport in a big way. There are still great fights and great fighters, but the context of where it all fits in the sport as a whole is seriously lacking.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
