    Too many belts nowdays for it to many anything anymore.
    WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO.......then we have the WBA annointing Superchamp status to certain champions so that they can pull sanctioning fees and have two other ranked fighters fight for an interim championship....:patsch

    The WBA inexplicably has up to three champions in the same weight division in several of their weight divisions
    ....at lightweight for example, Juan Manuel Marquez is labeled their Superchampion, Brandon Rios the WBA champion, and Roberto Guerrero the interim WBA champion.:nut:nut:nut:patsch

    .....just absolutely ridiculous.

    Which is why this thread is asinine!

    I'll keep my 30-40 hours of great boxing videos (from 1918-1985).
    What really turned me off in the nineties wasn't so much the 4 or 5 "champions'' in each division as it was the ''top-10" contenders in each division....
    With four or five divisions you've got 40 or 50 top ten contender slots.
    I only saw 6 or 8 fighters that were in EVERY division's top 10????

    So you're saying we've got 32-34 or 42-44 top ten fighters in EVERY division????

    **** on 21st century boxing (outside of the occasional great matchup)...
    It's why I stick to my tapes and my participation on the classic forum.
