ibo rankings

PLEASE...NO MORE ORGANIZATIONS....what's next?...TBC (true Boxing Champion... :-)

The only places that really take the IBO seriously are African countries and Austrlia. Philippines too, but that's mostly because they win them when they visit Africa

Biggest bribe gets the top spot.

I don't like their computerized rankings b/c they don't rank champions, only guys without a belt. The point of the rankings is to establish a list of eligible contenders, not just to say who is the best in the division.

They also make it so you only have to defend against anybody in the top 50.... so....

Not sure what the algorithm is. Think it used to be based on the rank of the guys beaten in the last 5 fights, and the ranks of the guys they beat etc. Manner of victory came into it too as with boxrec. Subjective rankings from impartial analysts (like TBRB) is probably going to beat any computerized system that's around right now. A computerized system has merit but a fight is a very complex thing for an algorithm to capture.

anyone know how their rankings work?? The IBO doesn't even matter.

like other "sanctioning bodies" fighters are ranked based on how much kick backs their promoter gives to IBO they claim to be not paid for ranks.... computerized apparently, but no formulas shown like boxrec..
