Intercontinetal titles were first design to give shots for fighters ranked 11 & below and to discover new talents that would lead the way to a fast tracking to challenge for the world title...
but as it is now, it became a sanctioning fee milking cow...
I actually like and support the idea of regional/area based titles. its a cool idea, and draws interest to boxing.
In a fun boxing world, it would be nice to see something like...
Fighter wins Florida State Boxing Title
Fighter wins North American Boxing Title
Fighter gets a title shot if he beats all the other best in North America for a while.
it would be easier to create a following, because people are going to care about you more if you represent them.
but with the multiple title belts and their terrible ranking system, its easy enough to get a title shot in the first place, so I guess fighters dont even bother.
