I didn't have many criticisms with the IBF until this welterweight business started happening with Margarito getting stripped and now them threatening to strip Clottey if he fights the 100% superior opponent. This guy got a ****ing draw with Delvin Rodriguez... he is not worth of a title shot at this point.
The WBC pisses me off with their ****** emiretus champion status... how lame is that. I mean, it obviously worked out for the best considering Vitali steamrolled Peter, but... that was a title shot given to a guy who had been away for 5 years that could have gone into a unification with Wladimir. Just because Vitali beat Peter doesn't mean it was the best course of action... I'm of the opinion that pretty much everyone beats Peter considering how he lost to an inactive Chambers.
The WBO is actually the belt that I have the least amount of criticism with.
