Everyone is always ragging on the WBO, but it it easily the best of the big 4. They never seem to force their champs to vacate belts and actually have okay rankings if you look at them.
Here is a quick overview of why the other 3 are worse
WBA
Super champ, Valuev HW Champ, enough said
WBC
Shuailman, taking belt away from Bradley because they are anti-unification
IBF
4 belts vacated last year, Phillips mess, may make Clottey vacate, made Margo vacate when he was fighting Cotto
We can all remember the WBO doing the right thing and making Phillips/Williams for an interim 154 belt when no one would fight Williams at 147 when he was WBO champ and the IBF would not sanction the fight.
I could say more ,but would like to open for discussion.
you do know that Zsolt Erdie has not fought a top ten fighter since he won the WBO belt, right? nice job with your rankings, WBO.
and how in the hell is making Williams an interim champ a good thing? If they were actually doing their job, shouldnt they have stripped Dzinziruk for not fighting Williams? arent you supposed to win the belt from the champion to get it?
and is there any reason to have interim champs at Cruiserweight and Bantamweight? the only point of having an interim champ is if the champion is injured and the #1 mandatory has been waiting a long time to fight the injured champion.
even then, the interim and real champ are supposed to fight, arent they? but the WBO isnt even making them, and sitting there laughing at the fact that they have two champs for the price of one.
the WBO also has no historical significance, it has no reason to exist.
it is not a legitimate title belt.
Penalosa moving up in weight? The interim was just set to leave a champion in the division, they will most likely strip him the moment that he enters the ring.
History doesn't really make a santioning body, the WBA is the best example, they have an ABC soup and their heavyweight rankings are one of the biggest jokes in the history of boxing.
