The Storyline is Missing

[Tony Trick-Pony]

The problem with so many titles is that the storyline is too hard to follow for fans. Take the light heavyweight division for example.

The three big dogs are Kovalev, Ward and Stevenson. If there were one title, then Stevenson would have to face the other two to have a claim to being any kind of champion. Now, let's say that Ward won the rematch, Stevenson stepped up and Ward beat him.

And now we get to what's good. As the only champion, Ward would have his pick of the real contenders out there and the story could continue. The way it is now, though, people are easily confused. Who's the champion? Ward. Well, and Stevenson has a title. One champion means no confusion and a storyline the fans(even casuals) can follow. The alphabet circus needs to go...

One title would be nice...but would it still be a sanctioning body? If you want to go by strict lineage, then ward has been the lhw champ since he beat dawson. Lineal champs don't relinquish their "title" unless they are beaten or they retire. That is just as flawed as the alphabet titles.

the problem is boxing people know nothing about "call to action" and "funneling"

Stevenson is a pedo with a worse resume than ggg... he ran to showtime to duck both kov and ward and here you are ������

Funny that "only lineal matters!" until it's inconvenient for HBO . . .

Adonis Stevenson is the true light heavyweight champion of the world. He's not only the lineal champion, but he's also the WBC champion, the most prestigious organization in world boxing.

He switched from HBO to Showtime to try to unify with Bernard Hopkins. Hopkins then chose to switch from Showtime to HBO because he considered Kovalev an easier fight.

Kovalev later asked to be Stevenson's mandatory, with a 50/50 split. Stevenson said no problem. Kovalev then vacated to avoid him. During this time, Kovalev was also a television free agent.

Those are the inconvenient facts.

Everything I wrote is easily verifiable fact. There are so many brainwashed people on this site though that sometimes the facts don't matter unfortunately.

One sanctioning body would be the ideal. No, I don't keep up with lineal. It's next to impossible.
