The most prestigious "ABC" belt.

Thats a very good list of fighters who have held that belt. I believe the WBC is the best sanctioning body, both it and the WBA are the most traditional and prestigious but the WBA of recently has disgraced itself with the stupid 'Super Champion' bull****. I no longer really pay much attention to it.

 

your right about the wbc, i has alot background history with mexico.


something that really made me cringe was how the sanctioning bodys where thinking about making "chapions" for nationalities i forgot what they where called but i was like the latino champion, asian champion, pacific islander champion, etc...

 

The WBC is the oldest, isn't it?

 

wba is oldest

 

You're right atsch

Used to be called the NBA.

 

That doenst make me cringe, its ok for a America champion or a Asian champion imo.

What relly bothers me is 3 or more people walking around calling themselfs the "World Champion". In fact there is only one "World", so 2 World Champs or more is too much, until they start claiming there the champ of Mars or something lol.

 

What makes me cringe is the recent recognition of the WBO belt as a legitimate title. Its ****.

 

I agree.

One thing that is pissing me off is all these friggin belts floating around. Let's get it back to one or two belts and we'd see just how many "world champs" really exist. Not many! But at least it gives the real great ones a chance to prove what they are. They don't even have the opportunity to do that now... WTF, let me unify 5 or so belts, and then, maybe, I'm a great..... that's the load of BS fighters face today, and it isn't fair to them.

 

And what about the Ring Belt just "bought" by Golden Boy Productions.

Cosmopolitan Magazine just recently announced they are coming out
with the Chastity Belts and will recognize XXX (you put your favorite fighter here) as champeen.

 

The "Chastity Belt", if true, should provide some interesting arguments

 

For me the 'green belt' has always been the one that your average fan recognises and, for all its underhand goings-on, I'd say it's the best of a bad bunch.

 

They are all equally illegitimate.

 

True. These days the fighter holding the belt means more then the belt itself. Sometimes the best fighter in a division holds a WBO belt.

I would argue that the Ring Magazine is better than any alphabet belt.

 

Seconded.

I am knowledgable enough myself to recognize who are the best fighters are and who the real champion is. I will not have a profit making organisation telling me whats what. I dont care what initials the belt has or what colour it is. The fighter themselves make the belt what it is.
