    the most legit belt atm is the BKB belt. BKB belt crowns a TRUE champion and there is no funny business. it's just straight to business with the BKB.

    WBC and WBA are the MOST corrupt out of all the belts. it amazes me that people even think they should still be considered legit when they're not.

                Oscar& B-Hop was really the 1st major fights to have it Oscar beat Sturm for it than B-Hop took it from him. From than on people counted as the 4th major title.

                    Don't forget Tommy Hearns getting that WBO belt.

                        Long before you started watching boxing.

                            I don't think it really is respected by long time fans. Most of the titleholders have gotten title fights based solely on promotional ties.

                                About 10-12 years ago...

                                Calzaghe, klitchko, etc really raised the profile of the wbo belts
