What will become of the Heavyweight championship of the World?

[Coverdale]

And then buys the other orgs and somehow orchestrates a group vote where they ban new belts and new orgs from ever being created again, while also eliminating all but 2 or 3 current orgs.

This. He should buy everything and immediately erase the WBOgus from history, pretend it never happened. Then once we're back to the three proper belts, tell the three presidents they can continue to run the organisations semi-autonomously on the following conditions:

1. Issuing 'interim' belts is punishable by removal of hands by sword.
2. 'Regular' belts mean a public flogging for Mendoza.
3. Lame mandatories mean Daryl Peoples gets locked in a Saudi dungeon.
4. 'Diamond/Franchise' belts is a public hanging for Sulaiman.

Problems solved.

If Usyk unifies and then retires as I expect it will be an absolute cluster ***********.

What do you mean IF? He is the real champion end of story, no one has any other claim as champion at HW unless he 1. loses 2. retires 3. moves back to CW.

I agree with you. The fact is he goes into the fight with 3 belts. I wasn’t suggesting he wasn’t the man at Hwt.

read it again.

He could lose but I do t think he will.

3, 4, what's the difference. There can only be one.
At heavyweight, We've always had that. The lineal.

True. I'd even argue that if he moved back to Cruiserweight, that he's still the champion at Heavyweight. No doubt in my mind. Many of the best past champions were what we call Cruiserweights today.

Usyk remains a threat to the singular distinction held by Marciano. That's something.

imagine if Ali was around today and no one cared since he was willing to make 200lbs on the scale and constantly fighting somehwere in Europe all of the time lol

I'm proposing a compromise in the absence of a realistic path to your maximal goal.

People said the same thing after fury beat Klitschko then got stripped and the belts went everywhere

What happened? We got an entertaining scramble between Wilder, AJ, Parker, Ruiz until Fury returned then Usyk came up and unified

Essentially, who gives a damn, the cream will rise to the top as it always does.

Good thoughts posted. Important to acknowledge that each one of the 15 "Organizations" used in the illustration of potential Armageddon is real. Although some unknown writer had recently coined the phrase "The Four belt era"; know that that the other 11 are just one hefty cheque in the mail away from "general acceptance". As a friend of the late New Jersey boxing commissioner, WBA VP, IBF founder and convicted felon Bobby Lee; I can almost assure you of that.
Beware of placing the recording of history in the hands of these organizations.

As long as we have a unified who won ( two of the four major belts ) and a lineal champ the alphabet guys can rearrange lawn chairs for a l I care


Give me a quality champion who is active. Usyk fits the bill.
