Why do Puerto Ricans fight Mainly for WBO Belts?

[savorduhflavor]

WBC title > WBO title. It doesn't matter where the fighter comes from that holds the title, the WBC is a better title.

Nah man, it makes absolutely no difference. With these alphabet titles, the man makes the belt.

According to you, Andre Berto has accomplished more in having the WBC belt than Cotto has because he has a lesser belt in the WBO.

WBC might have more legacy and prestige, but in today's game, there is absolutely no difference between the 4 belts. Having the WBC isn't "better" than having the WBO or the IBF.

For the same reasons Mexicans always fight for the WBC title.

I was gonna make this point, but most all boxers would like to have the green belt. That's the one Floyd always fought for, Oscar, most of the top notch fighters strive to achieve green belt status.

Anyway, I believe the WBO is based in Puerto Rico, isn't it?

Not at all, what I was trying to imply is that the WBC is the ore highly regarded strap of the alphabet soup titles.

the man does make the belt but the wbo is the least respectable of the 4 belts

Yea, because of it's history. If that's what you're saying I agree. I was just saying it's not like it necessarily has more value.

I personally like the way the IBF belt looks.

It the hottest lookin belt.

I disagree. The WBC actually makes fighters fight worthwhile mandatories sometimes. its way easier to win and keep the WBO belt, especially since they have like 3 unnecessary interim champs.

lets face it...if youre a WBO champion, you will never fight a top level fighter unless you go out of your way to do it.

Plasterito was a WBO champion.

And we all saw how well that worked out!

They make the same ****ty title defenses and they too have interim champions.

is the boxer who gives the belt the power.

If it is then it reaffirms that the WBC,WBO, IBF and WBA titles are all paper trinkets that should be ignored.
