What do you think of the WBO belt?

In boxing today it seems like every week there are some new bullshit organizations making cracker jack belts for fighters to win. I think it should still be limited to the WBA, WBC, and IBF belts but now the WBO has been around for a while and some people seem to call it a major belt. I think technically you only need to hold the first three and Ring belt to be considered the undisputed champion of the division. I for one really dont care much about the WBO belt. I know Cotto holds that belt and if Pac fights him and wins he would techincally be considered a champ at weltweight for winning that belt, where as if he won the IBC belt he would not be a legitimate champ . Belts like the IBO, IBA, IBC and whatever else dont mean shit and do not make you a champ and I kind of think the WBO should be with them rather than up there with the main 3. I'm not saying that boxers that hold those belts are not champs but I really think the WBA WBC and IBF should stay the main three. What do you guys think?

All the ABC's really are shit today. The WBC and IBF have always been ones that have held the most weight as far as crowing THE champ, but today the old NWA wrestling belt holds more relevance than whoever the IBO or WBA champ is. Nobody seems to care anymore.

If you look at it, the WBO has by far the best rankings and the best champs. I see it as the most legitimate of the 4, wrote a long post about it earlier. The WBC isn't horrible, but stripping Bradley was some b.s. The IBF and WBA are total jokes. The IBF should be renamed to the ISF(International Stripping Federation) because thats all they do, leading to a crummy group of champs and don't even get me started with the WBA, I don't have time to mention all of their problems.

All of the belts are trash. They are companies. They don't care about enduring the sport, only creating as much profit as possible.

all these belts are useless.the only one that means anything is the ring.the wba, on top of having over a dozen divsions, has more than one champion per division.the wbo had a dead guy ranked i think.that's about the craziest shit I've heard of them.the wbc=we be crooks.the ibf strips everybody.so i don't consider any of them the end all be all.its all about the ring championship.
