Comments Thread For: Devin Haney: I Agree With Floyd Mayweather - There Are Too Many Belts In Boxing

[gdub27]

Floyd’s primary target was the WBC belt, the original championship belt in boxing. So he never unified any weight class.

Why isn't Haney kicking that fake title to the curve then? He pays a sanctioning fee every time he defends it, he could easily tell the WBC no thanks, when you have an actual title I could fight for, let me know. So all these are confusing statements, even from Mayweather who allows his fighters to fight for secondary belts.

Heck it's hard enough for him to get fights with the belt , if he didn't have one it'd be even harder.

Even if there were less belts, boxing would find a way to jam that up too I’m sure. I hate all the “interim” belts in ufc do to “situations”. Fights are hard to make in boxing since it started.

The problem for boxers is they got bigger problems than making a stand against ABC groups. They gotta worry about the guy they are fighting trying to knock their ass out & staying in shape & other sh^t like that to compete at their highest level.

And it's also a means to an end for boxers. They didn't create this multiple champ world, they just live in it. Fighters would adapt if there was 1, 4 or 20 champs cuz their lifespan in the sport is limited. So proving you can beat someone with a belt that deems someone a top guy at a minimum is a good thing for boxers the way things are. Don't matter if that champ is #1 or #6.

If there was only one belt then proving yourself vs a top ten guy would define you better than it does now with 20+ guys usually being able to be noted as top ten of one ABC group or another.

Yes, I don't disagree with anything you say but "boxing" supports the alphabet organisations, not the other way around.
Don't ask for sanctioning, don't pay the fees, see where they go.

True it's more of a symbiotic relationship.

I'd just argue boxing doesn't support ABC groups so much as promoters & networks do, but I guess that's a semantics argument cuz of the power promoters & networks have to drive the sport in specific directions.

Haney’s right

Time to drop that secondary value belt and recognize one sole champ at 135

[sicko]

We the fans been saying this long before Floyd!

Blacks are mad because a latino has all the belts if haney or davis had the belts we wouldn't be seeing this sudden complaining about too many belts.
