I think every future first ballot hall of famer who are still active today or boxed in the 90s to now has held the WBC belt.
Wladimir Klitschko has never held the official WBC title. his brother holds that title. James Toney never held the wBC belt and drew against Rahman when he fought for it, maybe its why Toney calls WBC we be crooks.
Bernard hopkins, Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, Roy Jones Jr, vitali, shane mosley, evander holyfield all held the WBC strap.
to hell with the WBC belt
it's always better to have 1 of the 4 straps than not to
but still, not sure why everybody likes the WBC so damn much
Sulaiman is the biggest crook in boxing
Floyd never won a WBO belt
Manny never won a WBA belt
and honestly, the WBC is the worst of the the lot. There is no prestige at all in winning that belt over the others
I find the IBF more impressive given they have no interim/silver/super duper BS and have same day weigh-ins. But thats just me. Most people see no difference whatsoever.
But yea, you aren't lessening Wlad at all for it so, its one of those little interesting facts you pick up :D
I like the WBO strap the best, didn't IBF have a scandal or something before?
