Who are the true World Champions

Now I aint talking about just the lineal crown for each division. I mean the champs for the four main organisations.

WBC
WBA
IBF
WBO

With so many titles now going around with either interim or silver, I think as fans we should have a definitive list of the "True" world champions. 4 per division unless of course a unification has taken place.

non of them are anymore.

The ring belt is awarded if 2 of the top 3 ranked fighters go in with each other. Even that is based of rankings and heavilly weighted in favour of golden boy fighters.

A true world champ must hold at least 3 of the alphabet titles you have listed.

dont mean to wade in to the topic, but a definitive list isnt much use, and very easy to research. the bbc sport boxing page has a list, for example.

and im guessing pretty much everyone here knows who the champions are, as most on here are very knowledgeable about the sport. interim, silver and diamond belts are dismissed as pointless rubbish.

The Ring champion is the true champion IMO

Well lets change it then. If there was one unified Boxing board. Who would be the champion?

Nice article.

HW - Wladimir
CW - No champion
LHW - Hopkins
SMW - Super 6 winner vs Bute
MW - Martinez
LMW - No champion/Martinez if he still fights there
WW - Pacman
LWW - Bradley
LW - JMM
Below that - Too light to fight

That's my take on it.

Below that too light to fight.......

Sanchez, Gomez, Pep, Sandler.........
