Comments Thread For: WBC, WBA, IBF Moving To Crown One World Champion

If they do it the right way than great for boxing. One champ eliminates a lot of the political bs if that champ is forced to defend the belt against the top contenders. The paranoid fan in me says boxing always has hidden agendas.

It would down right hilarious if they come of that meeting announcing one belt...Haymon Boxing Champion of the worrrrrrrlllllllddddd!

the tournament of champions would give us some great fights

HW - Klitschko V Wilder

CW - Hernandez V Drozd

LHW - Stevenson V Kovalev

SMW - Ward V Froch

MW - GGG V Cotto

FW - Estrada V Gonzalez

people forget though things weren't so great when there was 1 belt. If you where to good you could end up waiting 5-6 years for a title shot.

But it will make it much more difficult to avoid fighters.

there would be so much less confusion over who is the rightful champ and who is the rightful challenger.

More importantly it would stop people winning bull**** paper titles and milking them in their own country. A fighter wouldn't be able.to pick up a paper title and theN market themselves as a world champ (I'm looking at you Scott Quigg). You want to market yourself as a world champ? You gotta fight the best. Gonna be awesome

The proliferation of world titles has damaged the sport in so many ways. If this comes to fruition though, watch a number of 'world champions' suddenly start holding the WBO strap in high esteem and vacating their titles for a shot at that one.

This is a great thing that the WBC/WBA/IBF are doing. But for the good of boxing the WBO needs to jump on board too.

I don't see why they won't get off their ass and join in.

Dont believe the hype.

Yeah it only makes sense if the champ is constantly forced to face the mandatory and the rankings are legit.

[Pigeons]

all this will do is make an extra belt, like ring magazine
all it will mean is have a super wba, ibf, wbc champ
with the regular belts still active

That's my biggest fear as well. The WBC and IBF just adding regular titles.

So instead of there being one title, they are just creating more titles.
