He got no real belt, only the so called lineal belt, which is basically worthless because it was won from a crippled injured fighter at a catch weight.

Of course people like this ****** above me will tell you differently.

so basically now his only leverage to get peeps to fight him is his star power? interesting.

He's the biggest name in the sport, guys are going to get a career high payday in most cases.

Amir Khan just got a reported $13million for that fight, how many other fighters are going to net you even half of that?

yes but the belts are what makes you a legend in the sport is it not? its always the champions (former and current) that are adored.

Golovkin got 2 of his belts given to him and won the other from someone that won a vacant title fighting a bum. Guess they're worthless too.

Not really, no.

Canelo didn't fight for a world title between the Mayweather and Cotto fights, he was still every bit as popular and had big fights.

Winning world titles is cool, but big fights are better than world title fights.

you make a good point. plus the fighters want money and the well being of themselves and their families. belts dont really give you that assurance.
