the image was made at the beginning of the year but i didn't get around to posting it here until the twentieth of january, tank only holds a secondary belt & shakur had vacated his belts after missing weight against robson conceicao. the only one who shouldn't be in the image as a champion is naoya as he vacated his belts. i'll post an updated image once a few more drop off
UFC build stars the way boxing can't because no one cares about the '0' and you are forced to fight the best if you want a paycheck.

Promoter rivalries are preventing the best fights from happening in boxing because if the best fights happened in boxing it would be like UFC and have very few undefeated fighters. Promoter's & fighter's don't want 50/50 fights. They want the "0" so they can get a paper belt, call themselves champ, claim A-side, get the casuals to buy into their undefeated crap.

The big TV networks like Fox, ESPN, Sky, BT could help the situation by refusing to sign exclusivity deals with any promoter. Instead they should offer to pay money only for the best fights. On the flipside, it’s a business, and an owner of a company has the right to maximize their earnings/profits. If that means prolonging their best fighter’s careers by keeping them away from the best competition they can fight, that’s on them. If as a boxing fan, you want to pay for that product, that’s on us I suppose.

Fury - Usky. Fury - AJ. Bivol - Beterbiev. Spence - Crawford. None of them will happen anytime soon....... if ever. Jaron Ennis or Vergil Ortiz won't get a shot soon against either of them. Canelo won't fight Benavidez. The list goes on

Tank Vs Garcia maybe tells us that boxing is waking. A real
