I take issue with that my friend. You cant compare a 15 belt per division world to a one belt world or even a 2 belt world. You are right though that the belts are secondary to the "show" today but the title meant much more in eras past.

That is also the problem. Its been watered down to the point of root rot, with little exposure opportunities and broadcasters more worried about the quantity of knockouts then the quality of the fighters. Its like a slow and steady crawl back to its grappling days.
