Why do Puerto Ricans fight Mainly for WBO Belts?

[pistol whip]

that's horse****.

They make the same ****ty title defenses and they too have interim champions.

is the boxer who gives the belt the power.

As much as i love JCC Jose Suliman kissed his ass for years and really gave him way to many breaks when earning shots at that belt no matter what weight class he was in.

Frank Warren owns the WBO.

He may own it but he didn't start it.
...maybe i'm a little off not sure but i know it had to do with rican fighters not getting a fair chance being that there is no org that can cover ranking every boxer in the world some places just don't get covered as well which is why we have all these other belts now.

Does the WBO favor Puerto Ricans over other fighters?

Like the other member who posted, just like the Mexicans do on WBC. We know that WBC is based in Mexico and have a Mexican president whose been in for a while.

None of the Puerto Rican bums are champs. I respect all of them, but i have to say its hard to respect Carita Lopez as a champion. He got the belt against a rather easy opponent eventhough it was a tough fight.

Who is the guy standing in between Cotto and Lopez?

Mexicans do that also. Even Americans, Europeans, other nationalities from Central and South Ameircan, Asians, and Africans.

Yup thats why the Alphabet tiles are total bull**** and why I only recognize the Ring belt as the true championship.

The WBO have the better rankings believe it or not.

I understand they are the least reaspectd do to the WBC abd WBA history.

Somebody like a month ago, Made a thread about the sanctioning bodies and who their Champs were and who was best and the WBO have the better quality rankings and the better champs no a days.

Rankings and Champs wise, they go like this
WBO
WBC
IBF
WBA

Value wise they are the same for me.

PS. The WBA is the worst do to this Ordinary and super Chmaps, and interims and all kinds of ****.
