    WBO less respected??

    in a nutshell, why is the WBO belt the least respected of the 'big 4'?

    I've heard a lot of people shoot Joe down for only holding the WBO belt for 10 years, and i remember people kicking up a stink when Prince Nas only held the WBO belt.

        That's a pretty bad joke man. the WBC and the IBF belts are better then the WBO, IBO (which I don't really count as a major title. I mean I don't consider Tarver a champion anymore), and the WBA.

        Personally, I think the WBA is a lot worse then the WBO with all their super champion bull****.

              Well yeah, the WBC and the WBA were the felt two bodies, but that still doesn't change the crap they pull off nowadays.

              That and the Super Champion stuff is the WBA.

                  If you think about it, the WBO probably has a better reputation than all the other belts. Other than ranking a dead guy of course.

                  Recently they've had good Champions. Wlad, Calzaghe, Calderon, Margarito, Cotto, Taylor, Mormeck, Guzman, Diaz have all held or hold the WBO belt now.

                    just bcoz they are the first dont mean they are the most RESPECTED.

                    there is no correlation to establishment and respect

                    just coz that prick Mayweather only collects WBC belts, dont mean ****..
