Unification a thing of the past

The mentality is if you've got one belt - Why would you need another?

Fighters are stripped of their belts, or vacate them without hesitation nowadays, so their value has decreased considerably

 

Berto was going to attempt to unify in his fight with mosley.

 

i loved unififcation fights both fighters having something to lose 2 champions 2 fighters who you cant argue fighting each other because there both top fo the division wbc and ibf used to always seem to be the unification but the last time i seen that happen was barrera and peden i believe god its gettin years now lol

 

You didn't really explain by what mechanism this 'dwindling down' would occur. If anything, the process you describe would tend towards ever more organisations. And I assume you mean 'international' rather than 'national'.

 

I rather prefer when the #1 and #2 fighters in the division fight each other regardless of meaningless title belts on the line. Think about it, some of the best fights we've had in the last several years were between the #1 and #2 fighters in the division. Williams - Martinez would be an example of that. Often times that kind of matchup occurs when the lineal champion faces his #1 contender such as with Pavlik - Taylor I, but the corruptness of the alphabet soup titles has blurred the line between paper champion and lineal champion so it's hard to make that distinction these days.

 

We need to have more undisputed champs !!


Unifications are a good thing !

 

i know what your saying but the wbc ibf unifications are usually good fights i remember morales and hernandez one that really stands out to me its funny with the ibf always seem to get the sluggers as there champions lol

 

Preach !! You aint lying ..

 

How did Williams get to be one of the top two in the division just by fighting Verno Phillips?

 

Ok. That doesn't really have any relevance to world title belts though.

 

You can argue about the ranking all you want... but very few will argue against the opinion that Williams and Martinez are the two best jr. middleweights in the world.
