    To you, which boxer who has never won a 'regular' IBF, WBO, WBC or WBA world title is the most overrated by a large portion of posters on this forum? (Please note people both Pacquiao and Mayweather have won loads of world titles so don't turn this into a Mayweather v Pacquiao debate).

    To me, it has to be Keith Thurman (he's only won an interim). :deal

    Kovalev, I dont really count the WBO. Thurman is a great shout out though, and couldnt really argue if someone said that instead.

    I think Thurman, many people have him giving Floyd trouble although he's never had a single championship fight

    It is a title, but it isn't one of the big three. It's the best outta the big three and the ring belt.

    The WBA in 17 weight divisions at the moment have 33 world champions. The WBA by their own actions have made their belt worth the least.

    But again, yours and my opinions on the matter are irrelevant. They've all been declared world champions by the stakeholders in the sport, and that's how it is.

    well if thats the case Mikey Garcia has never been a real world champion either

    the WBO is obviously a real world title just the same as the other 3

    Super Middle, AA is champion the same as Froch and Ward? No

    Middle, Kid Chocolate or GGG and Serigo.. clearly Kid Chocolate is not of the same class yet.

    Jr Mid, Demetrius Andrade or Floyd Mayweather Jr? I mean.. Demetrius is the real champion, right?

    WW, Maybe you guys are *******s and that why you are defending the WBO so much

    Jr WW, Prov is WBO or Danny Garcia. Even if you think Danny lost his last fight, his lineage is clearly above Prov's to the Jr WW crown.

    and btw.. I noticed this on ESPN's page "(g) Keith Thuman is the WBA interim welterweight champion"

    so your saying Mikey Garcia isnt a real world champion too yes?

    and you have left out WBO champions Marco Huck, Ternence Crawford, Omar Andrés Narváez, Guillermo Rigodeuax, and Juan Francisco Estrada who are all probebly number 1 in ther divisions and also pacman,

    so out of the 17 divisions in boxing WBO arguably has the number 1 in 11 of them
