WBC, WBA or IBF?

[askoe]

I know that holding a title is not the same today as it was back in the days. But which belt is considered the most important today?
Or are they all equally important/unimportant?

Most prestigious: The Ring belt!

Most prestigious: The Ring belt!

you mean the one that doesnt require the champ to EVER fight a mandatory challenger?

Note, the sanction bodies pretend the others champions don't exist, and don't rank them. Therefore, usually a mandatory challenger to a true champion isn't the most worthy.

We would see a lot more of #1 vs #2 fights if boxers weren't able to shield their careers behind alphabet titles.

THE WBC IS THE BELT! followed shortly by the WBA its simple.

yeah because mandetory's haven't become a total laughing stock at all have they?

LHW Mandetory fighters: WBC Silvano Branco, WBA: Vyacheslav Uzelkov IBF:Travoris Cloud.

Are you ****ing kidding me? Not single one ranked top 10 by Ring, and i picked the weight at random before looking at who was the challengers because i ****ing knew it would be a joke no matter what division i picked.

excellent point.

honestly, if the alphabet belts actually bothered to rank the other champions, the belts wouldnt be all that bad.

that said, the RING belt can be garbage sometimes too. A lot of the time the guy thats ranked #1 is the real best in the division, and not the champion. and thats throughout boxing history too.
