The judgement should be on how many fighters we can get to be generally recognized as the best in their division.
Good for the Brits, they deserve the belts! I can't agree with you though, I'd rather have the belt and be in the record books than to be looked at as the most deserving. Most of the belt holders today grew up in the system as it stands, so those belts mean something to them.
Most of us understand what you are saying but I think most of the belt holders would be thinking 'crackpot' if they heard you. I'm not saying you are wrong or looking for an argument, just trying to give you what I think the fighters view would be. Some of them would probably agree with you but would still be holding onto that belt as tightly as possible.
