    WBC is the true title!

    Everyone wants that belt the most why is it?

    I like the idea of multiple belts and multiple champions because it cause more friction and forces people to fight and claim who the true champ is of that division makes them hungrier to come get that title from someone.
    it goes like this most important belts...


    WBC
    IBF
    WBA
    WBO


    What do you think is the most important belt I know alot of you will say its not the belt but who wears the belt that is the true champion! but lets put that aside and you tell me what belts have the most significance in order?

          Why do you rate the IBF above the WBA. The IBF was not even considered part of the Undisputed title until I believe 1986. The WBA is second oldest belt after the WBC. Way Way older that the IBF.

            The only legitimate belt, IMO, is The Ring magazine belt. No sanctioning fees, no stripping of titles, no agenda, no bull****!

              The WBC is not the true title any more than any other alphabet title.

              Do you really think that Tomascz Adamek is the true light heavyweight champion over Tarver and Johnson?

              How about Gatti over Tszyu?

              Markus Beyer over Jeff Lacy or Joe Calzaghe?

              Javier Castillejo over Kassim Ouma?

              Katsunari Takayama over Ivan Calderon?

              All 4 alphabet organizations have their own motivations and their own politics. If you think more WBC champions are credible at this moment than some of the others, it is just a coincidence.

                  but the WBC belt is the belt that most fighters if not all think ist he one to shoot for, fighters fight for money but the belt they want is that WBC green belt for some reason.
