    Which sanctioning bodies do you respect most?

    With all the talk now about Barrera VS Khan being a possible title fight, while JMM VS Diaz (ranked 2 and 3 by WBO) isnt, got me thinking...what Sanctioning bodie rankings do readers of this forum actual respect. WBA, IBF ect?

    To be honest i only go by 'The Rings's' rankings these days. How about everyone else?


    Cheers

      I've always kind of felt like this....But it's just my opinion.

      WBC
      IBF
      WBA
      WBO

      For the record I think Ring Champ is more legit than any of these....

        I think the WBO has the best rankings and the best champs, I think people who down the organization dont like European fighters because they do not see them

        2) WBC
        3) IBF
        4) IBO
        5) WBA...a complete joke

          I lost most of my respect for the WBC when they skyrocketed Chavez Jr. to the #4 spot. The guy has been fighting bums, and didn't look anywhere near impressive. Yet Suliman rated him all the way up there? WTF? The Ring used to be the more legit, but them ranking Hatton #10 P4P this month, smells like serious hype.

              IBO seems like a very good organization.

                  The WBO seems to have reached equal ground wit the rest of em in recent yrs, although that ain't sayin much. I don't really care for any of em tho.

                    I think all of em are whatever, same IMO. If I had to make a choice the WBO is the only one I would like out of all of em...
