How MANY Boxing Heavy Weight Champions Are There?

Recently heard there%26#039;s about 20 boxing organizations. So if there is say 20 or so of them why do we never hear of 20 champions? Always seems to be the same guy. For example it would be holyfield, then it would be tyson, lewis etc never ever saw more than 1 champion at a time.|||Three to be exact. The Klitscho brothers and Nicolay Valuev.|||there are a lot of those. however there are also the 3 main heavyweights who are recognized as the champions of that division...





1.Nikolay Valuev who is the WBA heavyweight champion with a record of 50-1 and 34 by knockout


2. Wladimir Klitschko who is the IBF heavyweight champion with a record of 52-3 with 46 by way of knockout


3.Vitali Klitschko who is the WBC heavyweight champion with a record of 36-2 with 35 by way of knockout|||Chris Arreola is the NABF and WBC Americas champion. And yes there are about 30 alphabet and regional champions out there....some don%26#039;t deserve to be on tv or PPV.

Current rankings as of December 20.|||Wladimir Klitschko is the IBF and WBO champion.


Vitali Klitschko is the WBC champion


Nikolay Valuev is the WBA champion.





The total is 3|||A lot of titlest%26#039;s, but a very select few %26quot;Champions%26quot; at any weight, and currently no real heavyweight champion. Wlad is a multi-titlest, but no real champion at heavyweight.|||That%26#039;s the problem in boxing today..there are TOO many so called %26quot;champions.%26quot;





Boxing needs to get back to the days when there was just ONE champion in each division and everybody knew who it was.|||we only hear of one or a few because even though there are many titles (hundreds) there are only four major ones and only four that matter. so people only care about those guys. Those major ones are the WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBF.
