stop recognizing the WBA until they have 1 champion per division.
accept that the IBF is a stepping stone title and that the WBC is the top belt.
problem solved.

And 15+ years of super champion/regular champion should have removed recognition of the WBA, leaving just the WBC.
Why do we have the IBF? Because Bob Arum didn't like that Don King was gaining power in the WBA, so he orchestrated a break off. And when Bob Arum lost power in the IBF, he orchestrated the IBA, which thankfully didn't gain acceptance. But Bob sure tried.
And the WBO exists because Arum exposed the WBA's bribe taker, forcing the WBA to get rid of him, so the WBA bribe taker created the WBO. And Europe chose to embrace WBOgus title fights because the US was dominating the real world titles.
But we have to stop pretending all the titles are equal because they aren't. The WBO heavyweight title wasn't even going to be shown in the US and wound up shown on tape delay. The next one might not be shown at all. How the hell is that the championship of the world? It isn't.
Arum regained power with the WBC for a while and ditched the IBA. Arum was even helping orchestrate the creation of the UBC to keep his alliance with Sulaiman.
Now that Haymon has the stroke with the WBC, Arum is full force with WBOgus titles. Arum literally controls like half of the WBO titles. It's crazy. And HBO has to go along with it because Haymon controls everything else.
But there is no doubt the world recognizes the WBC as the #1 title. So if you want fewer titles, stop recognizing the others.

I'd love to see one organization or even two recognized, believe me. Just goes to show that the promoters control everything in boxing. It takes something away from it.

What's the infatuation with wanting Canelo to move up so bad?
It's not like there's an argument for p4p #1 a stake for them. They've fought in different weight classes forever. There's no "REAL" beef between them.
What is it?
Is it because it's a legacy fight?
Or is it for the money?
Canelo is a natural middlweight despite what he claims and this would be the biggest fight at middlweight, as a fan why wouldnt you want to watch it?
