    No, the sanctioning bodies are here to stay and there will always be multiple belts.

    What we can hope for is that more and more top fighters will ignore sanctioning body belts and will focus more on fighting the biggest name opponents for more money instead of fighting worthless mandatory challengers just to hang on to a belt.

    I think most hardcore boxing fans would welcome that. But the problem is, there isn't enough big names. to keep the general public interested. Without the draw of the phrase "title fight". You lose a lot of interest from the general public, and boxing can't really afford that.

    I think Sweetpea hit the nail on the head about fighters ignoring the alphabet idiots & making fights the fans want to see!

    CGM is correct in a sense that the general public maybe fooled by the phrase 'title fight' but if boxing continues to match the best against the best & makes quality match-ups then it can only help the sport.

    I truly hope/d Cotto & Pacquiao tell Jose where he can shove that diamond piece of sh*t! Who needs it? Its a great fight, that's the bottom line, no title just 2 top guys going at it... just what I like to see!!!
