    Which organisations have the better champions?

    Most knowledgeable boxing fans know that the fighter makes the belt, not the other way around. However, which governing body do you believe has the better boxers out of the current crop of champions?

    If you need to brush up see:

    11
    WBC
    54.55%
    6
    WBA
    0.00%
    0
    IBF
    0.00%
    0
    WBO
    27.27%
    3
    Other
    18.18%

      WBO and WBC have belts on more legit champs than anyone but all the ratings suck so I choose none of the above.

        Good point, the WBC has 5 champions who also have The Ring title for their respective divisions. The WBO has 3.

          The WBO also has the lineal world champion at 175 and #1 contender to Hopkins in Ring. That said, again, all of their ratings have such puzzling junk.

            I've always heard that the WBC is the belt that the fighters take most seriously. But I've also heard that the unofficial ring magazine titles are the most legitimate titles in the sport.

              Appreciate all comments. But I'm not asking which is the more prestigious title, just who has the better current champions. The WBC may be a joke. but on paper, they seem to have the better champions. I don't know why that is but that's the way it is.

                  The IBF and WBA are more corrupt than your average latin america dictatorship.
