At What Point Did Belts Become A Joke?

90's I think, it still meant something during haglers reign but it is nothing now, so somehwere in the 90's they messed up.

 

When sanctioning bodies stopped caring about the sport and just wanting money. They have so many ****ing belts now that it is pathetic. Some sanctioning bodies even make it hard for their champion to unify the titles.

 

I'd say the 90s is when it really started to get bad, and then the 00s it reached a new level.

Boxing had two major titles from the 1920s to the 1980s, but usually there was just one guy with the two titles anyway (especially during the first half of the century).

Then the IBF and WBO arrived in the 80s, and it has just gotten ridiculous.

Super champ, diamond belt, regular champ, WTF?

 

the worst thing is that the wbc and wba are actually the worst sanctioning bodies at the moment.

 

as soon as there was more than one champion at the weigh. simple

 

When the WBC issued their 154 championship to a 150 bout with two nobodies in the 154 weight division

 

After the Walker Law in the 1920s, it was the NBA and NYSAC. In the 1960s, the NBA became the WBA and NYSAC supported the WBC.

Either one or two champs in a division sounds really nice right now.

 

Not when you've only been into boxing for a couple years, like Bballchump11 has...

 

Ever since 1995 when Robbie Regan fought Ferid Ben Jeddou for the IBF interim Flyweight title, slowly they've become more and more meaningless since then.

 

When they went from 8 weight classes to 17 !

 

you don't even watch boxing that's why you're a fan of no fighter

you're so useless you couldn't even make snow melt
