So having 3 belts means less than having 1?

AJ is a champion with most of the belts and nobody can rightfully claim to be the full champion until they beat AJ in the ring. Just having many think someone would beat him is not enough. Wilder is a champion. Many say Fury is the lineal champion but I am not one of them. I considered him the lineal champ when he beat wlad but then he gave up the belts and left boxing for over two and one half years and did not fight anyone good until Wilder over 3 years later. When he did that I no longer considered him the lineal champ and neither does ring magazine who is so big on lineal. they list the champion of the heavyweights as vacant. Fury may have deserved to win the first fight with Wilder but he didn't so he is still not a champion to me. When the winner of the Fury-Wilder fight fights AJ then barring a draw we have a full champion but not before then.Comment

Order of importance for Heavyweight titles:
1. Lineal
2. The Ring
3. WBC
4. WBA (Super)
5. IBF
6. WBO
7. IBO
The winner of Wilder vs Fury will be lineal, Ring, and WBC champion. That's way more important than having a bunch of other belts, at least one of which will likely be stripped soon.
omg
yea I completely disagree with that one
it is just as unlikely that the lineal " champ " is the best... and no way can you categorically rank the ABC's
fans who forget about all that meaningless shlt are better served
painting some kind of ABC roadmap will not help anyone... the lost, will become even more lostComment

The Ring may be owned by Oscar but at least they admit it.
Unlike the WBO which is pretty much owned by Arum and Warren.
Or the WBA which will bend over backwards for Hearn.
Or the WBC which is all about PBC.
Or the IBF who constantly put nobodies in mandatory spots.
The Ring ranks the whole division. That's what makes their belt better than the big 4. The big 4 only rank fighters following specific paths towards their own belts, and they don't rank each other's champions.
The Ring... do not sanction... and they do not mandate
they are just a fkn magazineComment

Belts are meaning less. Too many and one belt will have multiple champs in one weight.
It is how you gain your belt or the quality of the named fighter. Collecting belts from the path of least resistance doesn't make you the best in the division.
Don't know what even mention the IBO. I never hear a championship fight for the IBO. I hear more for does b.s. interim titles and that bogus diamond belt.

AJ holds 3 of 4 belts...
in what other sport... is a king crowned at the 3/4 stage... ?
AJ's 3x belts will not help him one little bit if Wilder lands betsy LMAO
and I don't think those 3x belts will stop Fury from boxing his ears off either
and AJ he will need to beat Fury AND Wilder... regardless as to who holds the WBC belt blah blah blah
AJ just got dropped 4x and totally embarrassed in his US debut... many insiders do not think he can beat Wilder or Fury... and yet his fans want to crown him king because he holds 3x shltty ABC straps
lets face it, boxing fans are fkn awful... and often totally brainlessComment

There will be no clear cut #1 #2 and #3 until they've all fought each other to me the whole belt scenario is a joke there should be 1 belt per division and if you want it you should have to fight till you earn it and knock the king off his throneComment
