2018 list of all current World Champions

I agree with Primo, it is not a legit world title. The super title is WBAs world title and the one Quigg one is more like a WBC Silver title or some shite like that.

Added to that is the fact that Quigg never really won his world title. He beat Rendall Munroe for an interim title and then drew with a Cuban and got promoted to world champ.

Unlike Primo its pretty clear I never really liked Quigg. Hes a nice guy but just dont think hes that good.

Problem is, if you give one belt precedence over another you're heading down a road full of nonsense and hypocrisy.

Frampton was a "real" world champion yet conveniently fought for an organisation that ignored the existence of Rigo. He was crowned champion by beating a man he'd already knocked out, the same man that Rendall Munroe, the guy Quigg stopped, had already beat twice.

The only difference between Frampton and Quigg was an abbreviation, not form or quality of opposition. There's either one standout champion per division or there's not. Everyone else, regardless of belt, is a challenger.

Look at the recent furore over Crawford unifying four straps? Fans think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, when in reality, he took two belts off a man that outpointed Ricky Burns. How did Burns get the title? He was awarded a vacant edition against Michele Di Rocco (a man that struggled to get past Lenny Daws - British level). How did Crawford gain his first title at 140? Vacant title, didn't face a champion.

Crawford was already the standout no.1 in the division yet the majority of fans and so-called "experts" (writers, journos, pundits) were all giddy over a mismatch because four pieces of bling were on the line. Now he's the CLEAR P4P no.1 (they argue). Why? Well, he has all the belts.... do me a favour for gawds sake.

It's difficult to say which (if any) of the organisations talk the most sense and are the least hypocritical, but off the top of my head, I would say taking everything into consideration the IBF probably makes most sense. Their match ups and rankings usually make sense and I like the 10lb next day weigh in rule. It's a shame they all don't follow that rule.
