    Ring Magazine but WBC out of the alphabet boys. However, these days it's the fighter who makes the belt, not the other way round.

    WBC is the only one that matters. Unfortunetly the Ring is owned by Goldenboy so the mags belt is now useless and pathetic.

    I tie the WBC and WBA together but there was no option to pick more than one.

    It does seem that most agree on the WBC. After my boxing factless buddies have made fools of themselves with the wwf answer i'm sure they'd say wbc

    it is down to the person that holds the belt. i recognise wbc wbo ibf wba and ring as champs but you have to look at what each champ has done.

    Clearly the WBO, you have to beat some of the top Sports Network fighters to win it and if you want to keep it you have to beat other domestic level boxers.

    Seriously though, WBA, WBC and IBF.

    None anymore sadly. The biggest fighters in the world don't care about belts anymore, because they're ten a penny.

    I think boxing has already progressed to a stage where if you are not already a top name fighter; you need to hold at least 2 of the belts or more before you can be considered a top name fighter.

    I voted for the WBC because of high quality of their champions.

    The Ring title...

    Of the ABC's, WBC...

    There have been a fair few big name fights of late between two top names but not for belts... I think they are becoming less relevant as their currency has become so diluted...
