    Like seriously, belts are given out like candy. Like who wants a belt? Here have one...lol It's crazy how many beltholders there are in weight class. For each division, you got belts from the WBA, WBC, WBO, IBF, etc and so on.

    Hell even the WBA has 2 champs, Danny Jacobs and Golovkin are both WBA champs at same time. How's that even possible?

    Not to mention, there's some fishy business in boxing where guys get these belts/titles called the Diamond belt, Super Emiretus Belt, Walmart Belt (ok i made up that one up) and so on. Some of these belts sound made up. It's almost like there's way too many belts and champions in boxing. It's as though the boxing world wants every fighter in each weight class to be a champ. This is nuts.

    Then you have other low profile titles, the NABO belt, Francophonie Belt, British Commonwealth belt, etc

    Why can't there be just one belt in each weight class? This whole thing of collecting all the belts in each division is a lil too much for me.

    Remove all belts, keep only the ibo belt. I particularly hate wbc and wba, they are the worst out of these crooks.

    I'd prefer one holder but I doubt the likes of Hearn and Haymon would.

    Yes. I'm still waiting for Dana White to "buy" all of boxing.

    No we need more especially for the heavyweight division where burger king and taco bell eaters are getting so many title shots nowadays. We have to make a belt for them. I propose a burger king belt and a taco bell one also

    At the time we had 2, that was too much already.

    Yes, one champion, and everyone else are just contenders. I hate it when people call themselves 'world champion' if they're not the lineal champ. They're mere belt holders to me, not world champs.

    Too many belts, but also too many weight classes.

    nah...we need at least 4 major organizations

    that way ...a 34 year old fighter can spend his whole career chasing all 4 of them in one division....he can even waste two years watching one of them get passed around that hes the top contender for.....and he can use one of them to defend when he wants to duck a top p4p fighter
