Britain has three "world" champions, 2 of whom have never fought for the British title.


....


Think up similar "state of the game" snippets, if you can.

Of the next 100 fights on British soil, over 95 will probably be won by the favourite.

Boxing currently has hundreds of reigning world champions but only 17 weight divisions.

The WBC will award the winner of the WBO Welterweight fight this weekend with its Diamond Belt.

On a more positive note I thought De La Hoya - Pacquiao was going to be a total mismatch.

And I'm going to cheat and have a second sentence:

The business stinks but the sport is the greatest sport there is.

And to clarify - I know DLH-Pacman was a total mismatch but not in the way I envisaged.

A multi million pound business run by amateurs.

A sport involving blood, sweat and tears ran by rich softies in suits, oh the joys of capitalism!

Herbie Hide versus Damon Reed for the WBO Heavyweight Championship of the world.

Wait, you mean the WBU champion isn't the "real" world champion, now I am confused!

"Did you hear that Ricky Hattons brother is fighting for the world title on Friday?"

OK, so he is the WBA world champion, he is the WBC champion, he is the IBF champion, he is the WBO champion, he is the IBO champion, he is the WBU champion and he is the WBF champion, what do you mean you are bored, I haven't got round to the interim champs, the international champs and WBA super champs yet!

bollox!

Being Champion means you can pick and choose your opponents.

WBF? World's Best Fighter...period.

Forget your WBC, this is the belt real champs want.....

Introducing the WBF Inter-Continental Light-Middleweight champion.......Peter Barlow.

The sport where a man moves up the rankings, even though he's been dead 3 months - yes the WBO of course.
I think one of our favorite promoters even tried to match him up for a world title defence, but no one knew where he was buried.

It's a tough old game!

The sport where an Irish World Champion is rare but celebrated by countrymen and women of all ages regardless if they follow the sport or not..

Don King always enters with the champion and leaves with the champion.
