    Besides Wladimir Klitschko which Future HOF's never held the WBC belt?

    I think every future first ballot hall of famer who are still active today or boxed in the 90s to now has held the WBC belt.

    Wladimir Klitschko has never held the official WBC title. his brother holds that title. James Toney never held the wBC belt and drew against Rahman when he fought for it, maybe its why Toney calls WBC we be crooks.


    Bernard hopkins, Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, Roy Jones Jr, vitali, shane mosley, evander holyfield all held the WBC strap.

            Wlad doesn't need the WBC though. And even if he does win it, he should drop it immediately since the WBC won't allow you to be a unified champion. Holding three belts is better than holding belt.

              Floyd never won a WBO belt
              Manny never won a WBA belt

              and honestly, the WBC is the worst of the the lot. There is no prestige at all in winning that belt over the others

              I find the IBF more impressive given they have no interim/silver/super duper BS and have same day weigh-ins. But thats just me. Most people see no difference whatsoever.

              But yea, you aren't lessening Wlad at all for it so, its one of those little interesting facts you pick up

                I like the WBO strap the best, didn't IBF have a scandal or something before?

                  to hell with the WBC belt
                  it's always better to have 1 of the 4 straps than not to
                  but still, not sure why everybody likes the WBC so damn much
                  Sulaiman is the biggest crook in boxing
