Props to the IBO

[Mike Tyson77]

Everyone knows that Ricky Hatton is the undisputed lite welterweight champ of the world. He doesent need an IBF belt. But he does have the Ring belt. But the IBO will sanction the fight between the Hatton-Castillio fight. Most people forgot that Hatton also has the IBO belt, the belt that many consider one of the "2nd class belts". The IBO one of the belts Lennox Lewis had in his years as undisputed champ.


So hats off to the IBO for letting their champs fight the best.

The IBO has a decent philosophy. I like that. Whether or not that will be enough to make them able to compete in terms of stature with the "big four" is another thing.

I hope someday we will say the "big five." But only if it's the IBO. See the IBO lets it's champions fight other champions. So this would be great.


Wlad Klitschko has the IBF and IBO titles to. If he grabs another two of the "big four", he will be the undisputed champ. And the IBO will never strip Wlad for fighting other belt holders.

The WBC is the best best belt out there. But, it's who you beat. Pac doesn't have a belt and that proves it my theory: it's who you fight and hatton hasn't fought any real tough fights since he huged tsyzu for 11 rounds.

The WBC is no better than any other belt in a number of divisions.

Ask Wladimir Klitschko, Joe Calzaghe, Juan Manuel Marquez or Chris John, Ricky Hatton, Rafael Marquez (at 118), Vic Darchinyan, or Ivan Calderon if they think they're not "the man" in their divisions because someone else holds the WBC strap...

but the WBC is alway ranked higher than the other belt to make something nice it better to take all the belt and unifaction that is the only way to bring exitment to it
