So when you say the belts dont matter

[Vasyl’s dad]

That means you are going to stop talking about how many champions so and so beat and how many divisions he was a champion in, right?

Miguel Cotto is no 4 division champion, right?

I pick and choose which belts matter and which one's don't. I follow the sport close enough to know who is a legitimate champion and who isn't.

Belt dont matter when you are as big and establish and proven fighter like cotto ggg doesnt want to fight cotto because of the belt only... it because of the check that comes with fighting a cotto/conelo

But then example of champion runs like broner who also is a 4 weight Division Champion which is a joke

Lineal title matters

To echo sentiments - I control within my own world who is champ and who isn't. We don't have a structured construct like UFC so I'm left with my own devices on who is champion. Ring belt provides a starting point for me.

So you are saying the wbc belt is one of those worthless belts. Gotcha.

So Cotto was not a big name when he beat Martinez for the mw belt. I see what you mean.

So who is the man at 160?

Belts matter........ when the fighter actually wins them.
They mean a lot more on depending who you beat to get them.
They mean even more on the level of competition you defend them against.

They don't really mean **** to future HOFs who have already established their legacies.
But, to the up and comers who have proven very little, they mean a lot.
