Per Teddy Atlas, WBC = “We Be Criminals”.
Then we have the Incan, Mayan, Aztec champions.
How about you get in the ring with anyone and you’ll be happy to have any title. Just to step in that ring takes more then talking and being stupid.
It is thinking like that that enables these organizations to continue to extort money from boxers for these meaningless trinkets. If you are happy to have any title they will create one for you but if everyone has a title being a “champion” has little worth.
