100% meaningless. they exist to sell tickets, promote fights, and make money.
there are four of them, and you dont even have to be one of the best four fighters in a division to get one
some organizations split them up (interim, silver, diamond, royal sampler, what have you,)
they strip fighters for any reason they feel like
they favor certain fighters, nationalities, promotors, networks, etc
they mean nothing, man
nothing.
now, if you want to look at a lineal champion, you are likely talking about a ban man. those titles mean something
that's the guy who beat the guy. if the lineage is broken (a fighter moves up, retires, is injured or laid off for a period of more than a year, ,) ideally there is a box off between the two best fighters in the division. that starts up the lineage again.
obviously things get in the way, but that's the ideal scenario.
