What is most prestigious boxing title?
In this day and age, probably the Olympic gold medal. A lot of pro fighters are drawn from Olympics these days, its not so much a club scene anymore.

In olden times it was not necessary as boxing was everywhere in the U.S., these days, fighters have to fly around a lot to get in fights. If they want to "bulk up" their reccord against reputable guys that is.
