    Are there any differences between the belts really??

    I was thinking, WBC and WBA are often maligned and bashed for being unfair and corrupt while IBF is considered the more "cool" and less corrupt organisation/belt. Is that really so? I mean, WBC and WBA have usually had more great champions than IBF. Kessler is the WBA champ. Actually now it seems as if WBC has become a more "trashy" title than WBA, which previously was considered(and in large part thanks to guys like Ruiz and Valuev) the most "******" title.

          The fighters make the belt, so its different from weight to weight which belts mean anything.

            Not really. Which is why I like The Ring belt the most.

            Belts these days are stepping stones. Look at guys like Berto, who's a good fighter but no one considers him Welterweight champ of the world. His belt was a stepping stone and gives him some leverage, that's all.

            Oh how I wish the greedy bastards would one day unite and create a SINGLE & international boxing organization. How awesome would that be.

              WBA has so many titles it's hard to keep track of them. There's regular champ, super champ, interim champ, super-di-dooper champ, etc.

              Out of all of them, IBF seems to have the least corruption.

              In the end,there should only be one world champion and one world title.

                    The fighter makes the belt. You can say a fighter has a "****ty" belt, but if he beat ass to get there, then it's fine.
