Which belt is the best?

Honestly, they're all pretty shitty...but at least the Ring ostensibly holds itself out as beyond politics and businessmen. Unfortunately, the real belt organizations run the show and they work together hand in glove to keep the money rolling in. So we're stuck.

I probably goes in this order Ring Belt WBC IBF WBA WBO.

No. No it's not. No way is the WBO more respected then the IBF, no way. The WBA is a fucking joke though.

WBC, then the IBF.. Dont got much to say about the others.

America always need to be the best, and despite the fact that most Americans sucked at the time, they just made their own organisation and crowned these people "World Champions". It is for this reason that the IBF belt is always going to be a joke in my eyes. Just replace the IBF with the WBO and American fighters for european fighters and your set.

WBC, the WBO is still a stepping stone title

Son of a bitch. I just posted in this topic, but the page didn't load so it didn't post. Anyway, Hyperion, Hozumi Hasegawa is actually a great batamnweight. Good tricky southpaw. Not as good as Donaire or maybe even Vic, but he's good. As far as this topic goes: - The Ring belt. (Fighters make the belt, but these guys just have great ratings and great champions.) - WBC (Good champions. I don't mand really mandatories as long as they are actually worth while opponnets. Trying to fix things, so eh) - IBF ( I really thought about this one being a close second. I mean their ratings aren't too bad. That and you can't soak up over 10 pounds in 24 hours after the official weigh in. That's a GREAT rule) - WBO (Eh.) - IBO (I know it's not considered a major belt, but I like the computerized ratings on here. Though they need better champions. There champs minus WLAD and about 3 other people are shit. Not to mention their ratings have their champ not in first...) - WBA (Piece of shit belt. I hate their super champ bullshit and their 11 round crap. They can go die.)

WBA has fallen from grace :( why did they sell out with all those stupid champs i mean how did that heavywieght ruiz get a title lol. Wba was the best belt back in the day and its the oldest organisation between all the belts but i gta admit wbc is infact the best belt to get at the moment. But joel casamoya having a wbc belt is defo bringin it down lol he needs stripping.

what about the IBO? doesnt that count for something. i mean like you all said the ring is by writers and shit. the IBO is an organzation.

It's not the belt, it's the fighter that represents that belt. Although the WBC seems to attract the cream of the crop. The WBO has a relaxed policy on mandatories. As such title holders take advantage and fight crap opposition whilst maintaining their 'world champion' status.

WBC is certainly the most prestigious. They do their fair share of fuckin' it up thought. (Rocchigianni...) I am tempted to say Ring belt, but it's now owned by a promotional company, let's see what goes on with it...

-I like the IBF belt, because they seem to have less mandatories. for example, the #1 and #2 positions are vacant for a few of the weight classes. Im not positive if that makes for less mandatories or not...but it seems more convenient to unify. plus they have that heavyweight tournameant going, so I personally think thats a step in the right direction. -The WBC belt is probebly next best, they have meetings sometimes so t seems like theyre trying hard to do the right thing and experiment to make things better. which seems like a good thing. they kind of do things that I dislike though -The WBO is next. They never seem to make their champion actually do anything or fight anyone, even though their rankings are generally pretty good. Like look at Zsolt Erdie, their LHW champ, hes allowed to fight guys that are not even in the WBO's top 15 rankings, but they dont require him to ever do anything about it. his recent victory over Mendoza was the first time hes fought someone in their top 15 for a very long time, and even then he was only #13. The WBO never forces any real fights, and that screws things up when you have guys like Williams, Sergei Dzinziruk, Enzo and even Calzaghe for a long time. But sometimes theyre ok -The WBA is by far the worst. They have always had controversy and corruption with their rankings and even with judges. With their reidiculous Champions and then 'Super Champions' at the same time? This is a horrible belt to me.

the wbo is starting to grow on me,but it's gotta be the ring.if only they had madatories for that belt,boxing would do even better.

supposedly the ring...although its hard to make a case for it when joel casamayor holds one... right now the WBC has mostlyt the best champions: eagle kyowa at 105 Naito(eho beat Wonjongkam or whatever lol) at 112 Mijares at 115 Vazquez at 122 Linares at 126 JMM at 130 Junior Witter at 140 Mayweather at 147 Forrest at 154 Pavlik at 160 Calzaghe at 168 Dawson at 175 Haye at 200 but they also have weak champs like Hasegawa(118), David Diaz(135) and Maskaev(200+)

Fighters make the belts. Larry Holmes made the IBF belt back in the day when lesser champions held the more respected belts.

newb question...but undisputed champion of a weight division means he holds every single belt for that weight class?

Whichever one the most talented boxer in that division holds. WBO, WBA, WBC, IBF are all the same. The Ring are a bunch of writers that never wore a jock strap in their life pontificating about something they know little about.

WBC, cause juyjuy said so.

WBC. It just is.
