please, God, dont let the IBO become a legitimate belt. we boxing fans are tortured enough to have to recognize the WBC, WBA, IBF, and WBO as legitimate titles. God, please dont let the boxing world recognize another one...
first, it was lennox lewis, then wlad. now vic, adamek, and hatton are now IBO champions. the IBO is starting to get announced in prefight introductions like its a real belt. the introductions is going to create the snowball effect. an soon, people will actually think the IBO is a real title to be sought after. there are now 5 titles (WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO, The Ring) in each division and the WBO has interim champions and the WBA has super champions, regular champions, interim regular champions (see the cruiserweight division). this madness must end.
this is the major thing thats killing boxing: the sanctioning bodies. now, the IBO is starting to squirm its ugly ass onto the scene now. when you say boxing isnt dead or dying, look at how many champions we have, look at how many belts there are, look at how many sanctioning bodies there are, and look at who controls the "champions" and see just how bad the situation is. boxing isnt just dying, its trying to kill itself. if this keeps up, there will be so many "legit" belts that there will never ever be another real true undisputed champion. unifying will become an even bigger nightmare than it already is.
God, i ask that You intervene and stop this foolish madness. i ask You because at this point, no1 else can or will end this chaos.
