    The WBO is a complete joke

    The WBO is a complete joke. Amir Khan number 1 contender when he has had barely over 15 fights and Gary Lockett made number 1 contender when he was inactive for a few months . This oragnisation is ****ed up.

    Any one agree or disagree

          Only the wba and wbc are respectable, even at that they're still suspect. I just go by ring magazine.

            Why does Warren have such influence over the WBO?

            Whats the history behind it?

                The alphabet organizations (bar one) is filled with political rankings and is not useful as ranking-tool if you want to know the 10 best fighters in a given division.

                The only organization which, as far as ratings are concerned, has some credibility is the IBO who ranks fighters based on objective criteria. However, since the organization doesnt carry much prestige, it's champions is usually rated in the bottom half of the top 10.

                The rankings can be found here:

                  The WBO used to be nicknamed after an Italian promoter / manager whose surname began with B, I can't for the life of me remember it but all his fighters used to get title shots

                    It hasn't changed since he's bought it, rankings are the same. Oscar only collects the revenue from sales.
