    Too many to count?! This is getting absurd. There must be something that can be done. Any ideas? Petitions? How can boxing be saved?

    Count them up, I'll bet we will all be surprised at the results. WBA,WBC,IBF, IBO, Ring belt and millions super championships, etc. How much money are they making off this farce.....................

    Wow, and I'll bet there are even more!

    Thanks for looking it up. Wonder how many more titles will be created in the future? No wonder the public does not know who so and so is in boxing!

    It would be fantastic if you could send that list to Teddy Atlas, I'll bet he would show the list and probably even more...................expose them for what they are.................again, thanks for taking the time to look it up....................

    There's only 4 world titles in WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF. IBO doesn't count and the ring belt is sort of like a trophy knowing who's the lineal champion.

    There's a bunch of minor and regional titles that don't matter, they're just to have a ranking in one of the 4 organizations.

    Cut and pasted them from a site. The number probably increases almost weekly. So it may be out of date by now :lol:

    Wouldn't it be nice if there were only one champion in each weight class? Fighters names would be familiar like they used to be. Also, way too many weight divisions...................

    Which sanctioning body should be respected most?


    Although that may be like asking who the most moral porn star is.

    Boxing could be huge again, shame the assholes that actually matter don't realize this and instead care only of filling in their own pockets and getting their slice of the pie.

    But for how long? Some time ago, only 3 belts counted, now 4, soon it could be 5 major belts.
