Heavyweight Division

I like this article on how boxing has always had multiple champions.

There will always be politics and protection of interests, and all we can hope for is that some good fights get made, and there's not too much irregular scoring.
In the heavy division, the multiple-belts will make it easier for JP to get a shot.
If (and I don't think he will before Wilder), he gets a shot at Glazkov or Martin, and he wins - is he the best fighter in the world?
Not necessarily, but he would have a "World Title". 
Billy Joe Saunders summed it up pretty well, when in a rare display of honesty, he basically said that he was a world champion (IBF), but Golovkin was "The Man".
The Furys seem to have little respect for the alphabet orgs as well.

I think JP is lucky to have Duco and Stu, because they can take care of the politics (as best they can), what belts are available, and whatever sanctioning fees are required, and Joseph just has to train like a man possessed, while everything else is taken care of.
Even if he does win one of the titles in the next 3 years, he'll only be 26, so there should be a lot of good fights to come.
It's easy to get fixated on the belts, but it's got to be about eventually fighting and beating the best (as Fury did at the age of 27)

Best not to wonder why Briggs is no.4 in the WBA, or De Mori is no.10 (down from no.7) - it will just do your head in.
