WBC, cause juyjuy said so.Comment

The ring belt is chosen by a panel of boxing writers and awarded to the fighter they consider to be the best in that weight class, regardless of which alphabet titles they hold.
In reality though, you can only judge a belt by the fighter who holds it, although the WBC is probably considered the most prestigous, if it is held by a bum who got lucky and loses his first defense, its not worth a thing.
Fighters make belts, not the other way round.Comment

Whichever one the most talented boxer in that division holds. WBO, WBA, WBC, IBF are all the same. The Ring are a bunch of writers that never wore a jock strap in their life pontificating about something they know little about.Comment

newb question...but undisputed champion of a weight division means he holds every single belt for that weight class?Comment
-
To hold every single belt is pretty much impossible, there are a lot more organisations than just the big four, but only someone who holds multiple belts can be called undisputed, unless their total is matched by another fighter. David Haye is classed as the undisputed cruiserweight champion because he holds 2 of the big 4 belts. However, if the other 2 belts were held by the same fighter he would not be undisputed.Comment

Fighters make the belts.
Larry Holmes made the IBF belt back in the day when lesser champions held the more respected belts.Comment
