All Boxing Fans: WHo really cares about Belts?

[ottoevans]

I wanted to ask all of you after seeing how Dan Rafael (who i like) goes on and on about all this "bogus" title fights.

He bashed the hell out of the Mayweather- Ortiz fight because Morales was fighting for a title.

I personally dont know who has which title (besides the K-bros who have all) but i im completely focused on just the fighters and the fights.

You have to care.

It dictates who fights who most of the time.

[LeG00N]

having a title belt doesn't mean to much.

I care about who has The Ring or Lineal Championship.....and even that doesn't mean they're the top fighters in a division

[Young Money]

Belts keep my pants up.

This pretty much.

The belts aren't everything of themselves, but they are guidelines which keep the sport structured.

i care... if ur the best ranked. fight for the belt. its also a great causual fan advertising tool

[ottoevans]

what im saying if Floyd fought Pacman or Sergio Martinez vs Floyd and there's no belt on the line, you wouldn't be interested?

Would people be more excited for Felix Sturm vs. Daniel Geale because its for belts instead of watching Sergio Martinez against Angulo ?

it's the fight itself that matters of course, the belt is just a bonus

yeah and most of the time the best fighters in a division all have belts so they never have to fight each other and can keep fighting bums for big money. lol boxing!

and how do you become the best ranked? it's basically whatever the hell they think/want. if you've never even fought in the division they will rank you number 1 sometimes. if you are popular you will be ranked higher. if you just fought 3 tomato cans you will be ranked number 1 if you have some sort of worth to them.

if you are a "champion" and want an easy fight the corrupt organizations will rank complete bums who you've never heard of and have never fought anyone in the top 15 so you can beat up a can and make good money...oh yeah and so they can make good money too. lol boxing!
