Biggest Current Paper Champions

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Deontay Wilder. He has beat everybody in front of him which is fine, but they're not putting anybody dangerous in front of him. Washington? The ex-football player? Just nothing to get excited about. He's definitely being protected.

Ricky Burns.

Wilder
Ward (he lost)
Tony Bellew
Billy Hoe Saunders
Ricky Burns
every single ¨interim¨, ¨silver¨ whatever crap ¨champion¨ out there

moved up the rankings winning every fight by knockout.

then won the title in completely dominant fashion.

you're an idiot.

Wilder bought his WBC rank

He went straight from being a joke fighting bums from the alley to being ranked #3 and fighting an eliminator (against his buddy Malik Scott who took a dive for him) out of a sudden

How can someone be ranked #3 without beating anyone in the top 30? He did nothing to deserve a title shot

and it's not like rhabdomiolisis ridden Stiverne was a great W either, we all know his only ¨good¨ victory was upsetting a shot, fatass arreola in a fight for Vitali's vacant title

and here we are, 2017 and Wilder is still fighting bums and running away from any half decent challenge

Wilder is a joke and a disgrace to boxing

[Real King Kong]

until they winner of vacant title faces a real challenger he will only be a paper champion or as you like to say "a sanction body champion"

A lot could be solved by having 1 champion per division...but even lineal titles get vacated.

[Rudiamonds]

Adonis Steven even tho he took the belt from Dawson he didn't fight anyone decent after that wins which was like 2 years now

[original zero]

He hasn't fought anybody in 37 fights.

He beat the #3 TBRB in the world to win his championship.

Who is his most impressive victory?

Bermane Stiverne, who was the reigning WBC champion and #3 TBRB in the world when Wilder dominated him and shut him out.

Who is his second best victory?

Johann Duhaupus, who wasn't well known when he faced him, but Duhaupus went on to spend the last six months of 2016 in the TBRB top ten.

The man is a disgrace to the sport.

No, you're a disgrace to life. You're a bitter hater that has accomplished nothing in this world, so you tear others down to feel better about yourself.

Wilder has the #1 belt in boxing and is knocking out all challengers. He's ducked nobody. He flew to Moscow to defend against the #1 TBRB. It's not his fault his opponent cheated.

Protected from who? He flew to Moscow to fight the TBRB #1. How is it Wilder's fault that Povetkin cheated? If Wilder was being protected, why didn't he just vacate and easily pick up the IBF belt by facing Martin?

The Povetkin thing wasn't his fault and he was willing sure enough. But his opponents have been garbage in four defenses and we're about to see a fifth. It's getting really old, man. Parker, Joshua, Klitschko, Ortiz, ANYBODY with a pulse!

[FinitoxDinamita]

WIlder is the fakest champion youll ever see. I mean c'mon. The way he fights, one would think that he is an amatuer who picked up boxing like 3 years ago. Wilder is a fkin joke i cant take him seriously.

Chinaman Shiming is a clown too fkin dog eater.

Your position doesn't make any sense. He's won every defense by knockout and won the title with a lopsided decision that nobody disputed.

The only way for him to be a "fake champion" would be if he was retaining thanks to bogus decisions, which he isn't. He's retaining by knockout. There's nothing fake about it. You're just a fake fan.
