    Just ignore the WBO and WBA now

    Ive had enough of their awful decisions. Both of them have the worst mandatories ever, and their 'champions' are constantly fighting undeserving fighters. both of them are notorious for their use of 'interim' champs, and the WBA is even worse proclaiming their 'super champions' and 'champions in recess' and whatnot. we could literally end up with 7 'world champions' in a division. What a joke!
    they dont even pretend to give a damn about who's the best, they just choose what will get them the most cash, and nothing else at all. they are an embarrassment to boxing

    We dont need this. I know starting a boycott of sorts on the internet isnt going to do anything in reality, but if no one tries to start anything, it isnt going to happen. I quite honestly want to get rid of these jokes and create a sit in the boxing world, and I wish fighters themselves would take either of these belts and throw them in the trash when they win them.

    Fighters arent doing themselves favors by calling themselves world champions....because in this day and age, it seems like no one cares about you unless youve picked up an alphabet belt. Which severely hurts the lower top ten guys in the divisions.

    and look, I know the IBF and WBC aren't perfect. they have their problems too, and the most prevalent problem is the fact that they fail to rank other belt's champions. Which needs to change, more than anything else. but they're still much better than the jokes that call themselves the WBA and WBO.

    The WBA is by far the worst IMO. I mean, c'mon... they have up to 3 champs per division (Interim, Regular and..... Super! What the fuck!?). The WBO seems to be run by Wankstain Warren, so you might as well forget it really. They're both ****. I like the IBO, as they don't force people to fight mandatories, if I remember correctly. Although, if the belt became of the main belts, it would become corrupt like the others...

        Until the WBC gets rid of Mayorga and Chavez Jr. as #2 and #3 in the lightmiddleweight division, it gets no credit from me either. I say all of them suck. I would create the World (insert name of division here) Champion and make everybody fight for one belt.

          I actually hate the WBA and IBF the most........whenever theres unification talks, the IBF puts a ridiculous mandatory and strips immediatly, killing unification(cotto-margo is a recent example).....not to mention the Don King problem recently is worse than in the WBC....
          the WBA are ****ing leeches....and as quickly as soemone wins a belt, they want a ****ing mandatory.....and their rankings are always the same.....look at the circle jerk that is the WBA's heavyweight rankings Valuev-Ruiz-Chagaev are always mandated to fight each other...

            very excited. the last high class Heavyweight fight Ive seen of FNFs(Vitali vs Gomez not included) was probably Austin vs. Ibragimov, which actually was a good fight. FNFs seems to bring the best out of people, although thats not always true.

            Until the WBC gets rid of Mayorga and Chavez Jr. as #2 and #3 in the lightmiddleweight division, it gets no credit from me either. I say all of them suck. I would create the World (insert name of division here) Champion and make everybody fight for one belt.
            I dont care about that. Ive seen much worse in the rankings before...most noticeably from the WBO and WBA.

            the biggest problem is easily the fact that the sanctioning bodies pretend that other champions dont exist. how childish. and we would see so many more good fights if they did.

            and as for the bolded...thats how all of these belts came to exist. all that happened is that we ended up with four of them, instead of just one end all be all. thats why they ignore one anothers champions, because they want to be looked at as the 'only' belt. someone should give them a wake up call.

                I personally am now a proponent for the IBO......

                Their rankings are computerized and they rank All champs...

                IBO folks...

                  Yea, I like the IBO too.

                  However, if it does become one of the main belts, it will likely become corrupt like all the others!

                    to be honest, I would prefer them over all the belts as well.

                    but I wont show them any support whatsoever, because chances are in this boxing world is all that would happen is that they would get enough support to become a world title belt, but not THE world title belt. in other words, wed end up with 5 title belts per division.

                    which VERY frightening.

                    people seem to dislike the IBF, but I mostly have a lot of support for them because they encourage the uses of tournaments to decide mandatories, and are not annoying as hell when it comes to mandatories as well. All you have to do is look at the Povetkin-Wladimir situation to prove that. I love the idea of having tournaments, so I give them a thumbs up.
