Why do people still care about Championship belts?

[Barcham]

The belts are absolutely meaningless in boxing...

Which is why Floyd is making such a fuss over the WBO belt that may be taken from him and why Cotto will do anything he possibly can to make sure he doesn't have to vacate the WBC title. And their respective fans are so adamant that they should basically hold those titles until the end of time and never have to defend them.

Meaningless. Sure they are.

They should make a PBC belt doe.

They should make a PBC belt doe.

It would be the equivalent of the WWF's old Television Title.

I think the 4 belts have become increasingly irrelevant lately and everyday that goes by they lose their lustre. Most fans of the sport realize who the #1 guy in the divisions are, and it's not a coincidence that often the #1 guy has trouble finding suitable candidates to face in their weight ( GGG, Rigo, Ward ) with or without a belt.

But at the same time I don't mind having 4 legitimate belts. At least with 4 it gives more opprotunities to fighters to become World Champs.

I'd also be down with a PBC belt when it comes.

Exactly...

This is why I can't wait till PBC makes and sanctions their own belts. Everyone will want a PBC belt because it'll be considered the "REAL" belt and champion in the division since his stable is so Deep.

The answer to this question is not adding more belts.
