FLOYD MAYWEATHER GOES OFF ON TOO MANY BELTS IN BOXING! "CLEAN THIS S*T UP! NOT GOOD FOR BOXING!"

[@UnKnown-nq5hj]

Everyone wants to put their dirty hands in the fighters pockets.

[@roberto5red5rocky85]

There are to many belts , when you unify just make one belt with all the ibf wbc all that shit on one belt. And they should also make it to where once you have a belt you can only fight top 5 in your weight class. But that wont happen unless they create and actual league. I think Floyd and Top Rank and Showtime or HBO could make it happen. But they think there is more money in the old way. I disagree look at UFC how structured they are and how everybody gets paid. The problem is , in boxing the top fighters make like 95% of all the money vs the rest. In Ufc the top guys make less but every as a whole makes more. Boxings top fighters are too greedy for a league to every happen

Wbc started this mess, mayweather is right tho

[@bullaarevalo5434]

Wba

[@aligreatest5209]

WBA started it. The wba demoted their long standing original title to (regular) soon as they introduced the elevated "super" title. The super titles were established at different time periods across the divisions Middleweight was the very first division to receive the new super title in 2001 hopkins vs Trinidad. Because the super title was then active, the original title which william joppy vs howard eastman became regular for the first time. There was a 10 year gap before super title was established at heavyweight. Haye vs Klitschko the first super bout at heavy in 2011. So from 2001 -2011, middleweight had 2 wba champs. Heavyweight had 1. ( original title) Post 2011 at heavyweight, the original title then becomes a demoted regular as the super is then in effect.

It’s simple, TOO MANY weight divisions & TOO MANY sanctioning bodies (belts). There shouldn’t be 5 belts per division! It should be no more than 3; having just 1 belt isn’t realistic at this point. Also the 17! divisions should be consolidated down to 8. Heavyweight 200+ Cruiserweight 175 Middleweight 160 Welterweight 150 Lightweight 140 Featherweight 130 Bantamweight 120 Flyweight 110

[@ThanhLe-xi5el]

@CH it's OK, many other combat sport like MMA have the same number of divisions, it make weight class change much harder but enough for the sport. You can see it real hard for a mma fighter to win belt in 2 different weight, unlike boxing they can easily win it at multiple divisions.

[@leemunoz9617]

I agree, but sadly a reduction won't happen because networks, fighters and fans still promote them. HBO tried not touting any bout as championship unless they were universally recognized as the man...when Lopez moves up/vacates 135 will be a real mess.

[@Drifter101z]

Mayweather got a point... This is a problem for a long time. More belts more MONEY for the sanctioning bodies, more CHAMPHIONSHIP fights w/c means more dough for PPV. Mayweather beating 22 world champ is not the same as Sugar Ray Robinson beating X amounts for champs. Back in the day, fighting a champion means you are fighting the man who beat everyone in his division.

The WBA started the greed first. The truth is the wba (Regular) is the original wba world title. Which they demoted as a secondary title soon as the super became active in a respective division. When the very first super title bout was established at middleweight in 2001, trinidad vs hopkins. William joppy vs Howard eastman then fought for in what was the first time the original title became a secondary, Because super was active. There was a 10 year gap before the wba created a super title at heavyweight, haye vs Klitschko the first super bout in 2011. So from 2001 - 2011 middleweight had 2 wba world champions, super + reg. While heavyweight had 1 wba champ ( original title) Only does the original become ( regular) post 2011 at heavyweight As of course the SUPER is then in effect. Remeber the REGULAR is the traditional SUPER the additional.

100% agreed. One belt, one champion. That's one thing I like about the UFC.

What wasn’t good for boxing is cherry picking fights, hyping them up and disappointing fans with boring fights. Yea, boxing is about hitting and not getting hit but the glory lies in entertaining the FANS instead of just doing enough to win the end of the rounds. the greats take the biggest risk to prove they are the best and doesn’t make excuse of making a “smart” move to not get hit, if that’s the case, anyone who’s never boxed are the greatest boxers for “being smart” for not risking their health to entertain fans by not getting hit.
