how is WBC getting more votes than WBA? before the wbc ever existed, the wba had title holders such as dempsey, tunney, louis, ezzard, walcott, marciano, patterson, liston. Liston won the WBA in '62 and then became the first wbc belt holder in '63. wba has a loaded history before the wbc even came to existence, how can it be considered more prestigous?
WBC is probably getting voteds due to the Mexican members in here. Remember that WBC is founded and located in Mexico.
More prestigous? How about the Ring mag title. Reason is that in order to win the Ring belt, the top 2 fighters have to fight each other, they even allow the 3rd ranked boxer to fight one of the top 2 for the Ring title.
Out of the 4, i picked WBA, the oldest.

I don't think any of the 4 can brag that they have the best champs...
No one really cares about the belts and their history nowadays. I think somehow someway, most boxers even if they have the a belt look at the ring rankings to evaluate where they are in the division.
I would say wba cuz its been around the longest but I don't know if boxers today see that as the most prestigous belt cuz I doubt most know the history of each belt. I would say that as of now, the WBO has the best title holders and IBF is a close second.
