How much fun would the world cup be if England, Brazil, France and Italy were the world champions?

That's why the world cup is so big because there is only one world champion, the same reason boxing was so big years and years ago...

Personally i'm glad Hatton has vacated, right now boxing needs big fights not dozens of champions fighting there easy mandatories *cough*

All a belt does these days is give the MC an extra couple of lines to say when introducing the 'champion'
Trouble is Hatton doesn't vacate his titles to go after the big fights. He vacates one paper title to after another paper title

You guys think he will go after Castillo but he probably won't.

Team Hatton are right now probably drawing up contracts to fight either Souleymane M’baye or Ricard Torres for their paper crowns.

I think Hatton feels that winning 6 or 7 world titles will get him into the Hall of Fame and any old title will do, providing the 'champ' is a tomato can.
