North American title???

I only care about WBC, WBO, WBA, IBF, and IBO. Those titles are stepping stones like someone before said.

 

In the time of one champ the NABF was prominent Ali held it for a while and beat some good fighters

 

In theory, the three major North American titles are NABF (WBC), NABA (WBA) and NABO (WBO). Strangely, the IBF does not have a North American belt (the USBA title is reserved for US fighters).

That said, none of them have the prestige or credibility of the European title. If I had to chose the top one, I would say NABF because of its better history and lineage, but that's not saying much.

 

Why do you care about the IBO?

Peter Manfredo is their middleweight champion.

 

And Lovemore N'Dou as their Welterweight champ.

 

UBO.it covers everything in the Universe, North America included.

 

Surley it would be a good idea for ESPN to begin to recognize a North American title in the same way sky have done in the UK.

If there were one NA belt you would have prospects fighting each other more often.

 

No ****. It isnt the belts that are the problem, they can still be used as a measure of success, the problem is with the sanctioning bodies (yes I know they control the belts) who do not always promote fighters on their own merit as they should.

 

There is none. NABO and NABF are probably the closest things, but in reality, nobody gives a **** about them.

The EBU title means a lot more than any of the other regional titles. The UK's lineage of British --> Commonwealth --> European --> World is one of the few things that makes sense in boxing titles.
