When you have so many belts , if you wanna keep them , you have to fight a string of mandatories.
Yeah, AJ could toss a belt in the bin, he wouldn't necessarily be the first to do that, but then it opens up the chance of another , probably lesser champion, which muddies the waters further. And regardless of whether he is #1 out there or not, his unique selling point is the domination of the belts.

I don’t buy this. Wlad fought tomato cans because that’s almost all there was around, and when there were good opponents people wanted to see him in with the fights generally got made, however much they ended up sucking. this is a better time for HW boxing. IF AJ binned a belt to fight the winner of Wilder-Fury, and won that fight, nobody would give a rats who fought for the vacant title. Not to mention, AJ would represent so much more money than anyone else(he already does), he could easily just get the title back. Plus there’s the fact that the WBC is the only title he doesn’t have and holds more prestige than these other two, so even in the vein of your argument he’d just be swapping one belt for another.
