The WBC and WBA have been taking the piss for a while now with their multi-world champions per sanctioning body, super belts, diamond belts, champion in remitius belts, silver belts, interim belts, refusing to sanction unification's etc etc.
The WBO along with the others have sanction massively shitty championship matches some of who aren't even in the top 50/100 in the world. Each body has a top 15 in which in generally doesn't include others from the other bodies list which thus waters down each division and leads to shit fights whilst also giving the boxers an easier way to avoid big fights.
Simply put there are too many belts. So how do we get some of them unrecognized as legit world titles and which do we choose. I think media outlets and fans have to make a start on this to get the ball rolling, once they aren't recognized by media outlets who won't plug them as world champs or world title fights then boxers will be less likely to fight for said organization.
I opt for WBC and WBA first, they are the oldest and have a richer history but they have out-rightly taken the piss the last few years (the WBC especially). There are many other problems with boxing but I ultimately believe if we got rid of two belts then the sport would massively change as the results of this would effect other factors of the sport.
The campaign is on -rid the WBC (unless you want to vote for another belt) poll at the top.
Fuck you Suliaman
