    Yes, sir.

    From here on out, the straps mean nothing.

      The reason I wanna see Davis-Loma is because I really wanna see Gervonta put in the microwave and see what he's really made of. In all his fights, Davis was in 2nd gear, hardly out of the 3rd in the Pedraza fight. It was kinda effortless.

      I wanna see someone put him in 4th or 5th. I know he's pretty gritty, heavy handed, and multidimensional. I wanna see how he swims up against Lomachenko. I don't think even Mikey would be much of a challenge for Davis.

      I don't need a thief like Sulaiman to tell me who the best is.

        We could just make up our own instead of waiting on the bodies to act right or the PBC and DAZN belts or whatever the ****...UFC isn't a channel...Matchroom, TR, GBP, etc belts would be like UFC belts, TV channel or show belts is something new entirely...I'm not sure where y'all got that TV show belts idea from. The DAZN champion...I dunno about that.


        Boxingscene can crown champions and it mean as much as anything else that isn't the big four. I don't even give a ****, I'd respect the poll iffen someone did it up.

            I'm done with the belts. It's just about who fights who from now on. They've made it too much to keep up with. My God, no other sport is this complicated. Such corruption...
            When people find out I'm into boxing and ask me "So, who's the champion right now?"... I cringe...
            Not because it's a ****** question, it's because the answer is even ******er. If we're honest we have to say, "We have a few dozen and everyone gets a turn at some point."

            Sad that a sport that was until recently underground and shady (MMA) now had a much more refined appearance and structure than boxing.

              The bold: It can mean even more.

              Despite the BS we go through here everyday, I consider most of the fans at NSB to be very knowledgeable. I'm sure it would be better than these orgs, IF it was voted by the members, not just Boxingscene.

                Completely agree, I just want to know what their justification is, I mean we all know how ridiculous it is but how does the WBC try to logically explain it?

                Regarding the Bad Mother FKer UFC belt, I actually have more respect for that because it is clear that its a joke and the UFC is a promoter, for them belts are a tiny part of what they do. Whereas the WBC aren't, without credibility the WBC are nothing, it they devalue their belt why would anyone care about them.

                  The worst part is Haney celebrating becoming the youngest champ in boxing. If I was him, I'd want to beat Loma for it. This is the last way I'd want to win it.

                    Yeah, I think it's a good fight and they'll both test each other quite a bit. It just needs to get made.

                      Without some kind of structure, obviously we get bull**** where the tops guys won't fight each other. It's sad, really. How do they expect to sell tickets when they don't give the fans the fights they want? In any other sport, you have no choice. It's get your ass out there or go home. Boxing is going through this soft era or some ****. It sucks.
