      -I like the IBF belt, because they seem to have less mandatories. for example, the #1 and #2 positions are vacant for a few of the weight classes. Im not positive if that makes for less mandatories or not...but it seems more convenient to unify. plus they have that heavyweight tournameant going, so I personally think thats a step in the right direction.
      -The WBC belt is probebly next best, they have meetings sometimes so t seems like theyre trying hard to do the right thing and experiment to make things better. which seems like a good thing. they kind of do things that I dislike though
      -The WBO is next. They never seem to make their champion actually do anything or fight anyone, even though their rankings are generally pretty good. Like look at Zsolt Erdie, their LHW champ, hes allowed to fight guys that are not even in the WBO's top 15 rankings, but they dont require him to ever do anything about it. his recent victory over Mendoza was the first time hes fought someone in their top 15 for a very long time, and even then he was only #13. The WBO never forces any real fights, and that screws things up when you have guys like Williams, Sergei Dzinziruk, Enzo and even Calzaghe for a long time. But sometimes theyre ok
      -The WBA is by far the worst. They have always had controversy and corruption with their rankings and even with judges. With their reidiculous Champions and then 'Super Champions' at the same time? This is a horrible belt to me.

        WBC is certainly the most prestigious. They do their fair share of ****in' it up thought. (Rocchigianni...)

        I am tempted to say Ring belt, but it's now owned by a promotional company, let's see what goes on with it...

          It's not the belt, it's the fighter that represents that belt. Although the WBC seems to attract the cream of the crop. The WBO has a relaxed policy on mandatories. As such title holders take advantage and fight crap opposition whilst maintaining their 'world champion' status.

              WBA has fallen from grace why did they sell out with all those ****** champs i mean how did that heavywieght ruiz get a title lol.
              Wba was the best belt back in the day and its the oldest organisation between all the belts but i gta admit wbc is infact the best belt to get at the moment.
              But joel casamoya having a wbc belt is defo bringin it down lol he needs stripping.

                Son of a *****. I just posted in this topic, but the page didn't load so it didn't post.

                Anyway, Hyperion, Hozumi Hasegawa is actually a great batamnweight. Good tricky southpaw. Not as good as Donaire or maybe even Vic, but he's good.

                As far as this topic goes:

                - The Ring belt. (Fighters make the belt, but these guys just have great ratings and great champions.)

                - WBC (Good champions. I don't mand really mandatories as long as they are actually worth while opponnets. Trying to fix things, so eh)

                - IBF ( I really thought about this one being a close second. I mean their ratings aren't too bad. That and you can't soak up over 10 pounds in 24 hours after the official weigh in. That's a GREAT rule)

                - WBO (Eh.)

                - IBO (I know it's not considered a major belt, but I like the computerized ratings on here. Though they need better champions. There champs minus WLAD and about 3 other people are ****. Not to mention their ratings have their champ not in first...)






                - WBA (Piece of **** belt. I hate their super champ bull**** and their 11 round crap. They can go die.)

                  America always need to be the best, and despite the fact that most Americans ****** at the time, they just made their own organisation and crowned these people "World Champions". It is for this reason that the IBF belt is always going to be a joke in my eyes.

                    WBC, the WBO is still a stepping stone title

                      Just replace the IBF with the WBO and American fighters for european fighters and your set.
