i've been saying the best body out there is the ibo....they have the best non biased computer rankings

the problem is they hand out those belt to anyone. sakio bika as champion come on man... theyre ranking is the most accurate but it's not like they mandate title defense

[-Boxzilla-]

man thats a bunch a bull**** ...

the wbc, ibf, wbo, wba all suck i could care less about these belts.

[Piper the Great]

now i see why fighters dont give a **** about the belts no more.

In Defense of the WBC, Bradley was given special treatment for fighting Holt instead of making his mandatory defense. That was the deal of the fight and the rules of the WBC.

I don't agree that with the mandatory defense rule especially when it is a champion vs champion unification match. Unification matches should be an exception to any mandatory defense rule.

Fighters need to band together and collectively say to all the orgs,


"**** you and your fees".

i wish that would be the case but as much as these belts sucks, it's also what's keeping boxing a world wide sports. not everyone can be an hbo fighter. for the local fighter who has one of these belt, it's their meal tickets

In light of this, it's amazing how Hopkins was able to keep all four belts (WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO) together for even one defense.

Not if the entire boxing community says it together though.

What exactly do the abcs do but collect fees?


The belts to the fans don't matter simply because theres so many of them that even hardcore fans have a hard time keeping up with.

Once the fighters realize that these orgs are more of a pain in the ass than helpful, then you'll see the trend of fighters not caring about the belts at all.
