    Having 4 champions in each weight automatically devalues the status in my opinion. It's also a big reason why people struggle to take to the sport. It's too confusing and people think it's a farce.

    Status of a World champ was devalued a long time before these 2 pups came along.

    TBH I hold the titles in so little regard nowadays that I'm beyond caring. I appreciate what they mean to the boxers but having a world title isn't what it used to be. Liam Smith wasn't even a top tenner for me when he won the title.
