    And Ricky Hatton threw away his IBF belt too, to fight Castillo. None of the alphabet titles mean much, the Ring title does though.

      I dont belive any belt, including the famous RING belt is worth anything.

      The champions make the belts ans each belt has had great fighters that have made the belts the definitive belt in weight classes and each belt has had an undeserving title holder maskarading as the champ of the weight class. You really cant hold one above another.

        Just curious as a European...
        1st WBC
        2nd IBF
        3rd WBA
        4th WBO

        If I had to rate them......IBF is the most crooked I think personally but has been around a long time and holds some prestige because of that.

          omfg. that is some serious bull**** up in this thread. you can tell people who don't know what the **** they are talking about when they open their mouths up in this *****.

          wbo= the most valuable and respected title, because it's commission isn't 'suleiymon' 'd.....I.E. you gotta earn your shot among the WBO rankings much moreso than the WBA, WBC, IBF IBO or any of the titles. You can buy your spot to be #10 contender in all the other organizations but not the WBO.

          notice how edison miranda is at the top of the wbo rankings . and actually earned his way up that *****. that's cause he's, a bad mother****er.

              I've always been partial to the IBO. But really, it's about personal preference.

                as far as these trinkets are concerned i'd say they go in this order



                WBC
                WBA
                IBF

                USBA
                NABF
                IBA







































































































                and somewhere in the bowels of the **** tank of boxing is the WBO...................
