World title

Post by Jens S »

Under "Title" it is possible to choose any title except the most credible "World xxxxweight title". So if I want to see the world title fights in heavyweight, I have to find them one by one. Why?

And why not take the most used searches like WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO and put them in the top of the titles it is possible to choose? It would be much easier.

Well, a simple answer is after about WW I, and certainly by 1920, titles were "sanctioned" by different organizations.

What you are looking for, it seems, are the "real" champions, a concept I refer to as the "Lineal" champions. I have a list of "Lineal Champions" for each division at http://www.cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/pastchp.htm
