Hello everyone,
I am a occssional reader on these forums and well I notice alot of dislike of the sactioning bodies. Out of curiousity, which sactioning body, in your opinion, is best?
As much as we dislike the sanctioning bodies, belts are needed. What is a sport without a championship? What we need is 1 uncorrupt sanctioning body. The truth is though, we'll never get it and have to deal with the Big Four forever.
The IBO wouldn't be too bad if they had any clout.

I don't really know or care which is the best.
But generally the WBC is accepted as the most legit because when a fighter earns that belt, they more than likely faught legit competition. Not some unknown dude who beat another unknown dude for a title that was vacated because some old unknown dude decided to retire.
For example: How many people count Floyd's win over Baldomir? Even though it was for like 3 titles. Now how many people count Floyd's win over JLC, which was for the wbc lightweight title?
See what I mean?
Say what you want about sanctioning bodies and their politically based choices but those belts are very important and needed in the sport.
They give good unknown fighters from unknown places attention they would not otherwise get in addition to tv air time they wouldn't get either.
Just look at Martinez, without him fighting for a vacant WBC interim title they would have never put his fight with Bunema on HBO because why should they?
An unknown vs a journeyman?
Because PPL saw him and he had a belt which for unfortunate reasons bumped him up to full championship status later, he was able to get a fight with a higher profile fighter(Pwill) and later a shot at the MW title which we all know went well for him.
Without a vacant interim title this would not have happened at all.
i don't think that's true at all. they put martinez on hbo cause they were hearing a lot of buzz about the guy and he was promoted by dibella. the fact that some lame-o title was on the line was just a coincidence. hbo doesn't search title fights and decide then what to put on they search and try to make stars in ortiz and khans case.
the wbc is the offiical belt cause floyd says so! if floyd said the wba was the official belt everyone would be like no way floyd its the not the wba its the wbc. yep yep for sure they aren't sheep no way.
in all seriousness though why do fighters like to wear symbols of corruption,greed, and dishonesty around their waists? you should not have to pay to be champ i'ts something earned through hard work and dedication not careful matchmaking and ranking tampering.
the only 1 there should be
