Comments Thread For: Derrick James: Most People On The P4P List Haven't Done Half The Stuff Jermell Has Done

Quality of opponents is more important than belt collection. I'm actually sick of hearing about the "four belt era", is it supposed to be a good thing that the WBOgus became recognised and so-called "undisputed" champions are expected to hand over another fee to another corrupt sanctioning body?Comment

Funny that you're calling out one of the two organizations that actually enforces its own rules. No issues with the WBC letting Jermall sit inactive since June 2021 without at least declaring him champ in recess per its own rules, or letting Tyson Fury fight Ngannou with no mandatory, or WBA for the entire Rolly situation, but you have an issue with WBO?Comment

Why are they "all crap"? In particular, what's the issue that you have with the WBO?
The WBC and WBA have a long and storied history of being corrupt, and I've already pointed out some examples of that. The IBF did get raided by the FBI. Can you name the specific issue you have with the WBO, or are you just lumping them all together out of ignorance?
Did you know that the WBO "super" champion designation isn't the same as a WBA one, and that they don't allow another champion whether there's a super champ or not? Just one, and that champ gets specific privileges, like the ability to get ranked as a mandatory for the next division up if they choose to move up. No extra sanctioning fees for multiple champions like the WBC and WBA.
Did you know that the WBO invited the other presidents to meet in 2021 to discuss how to have only a single champion per division, and that was the first time the leaders of each alphabet organization had met personally?Comment

So what in particular informs this opinion of yours? Because if we're going to go back to 2 belts, I'd much rather lose the WBC and WBA. If you think there's too many, why are you not after the obviously corrupt ones?

You were wrong about the presidents meeting for the first time in 2021, also. The WBC, WBA and IBF met in 2014: https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/b...meet-in-cancunComment

I'm referring to Pepe Cordero. I've never seen anyone so defensive of the WBO, got an interest to declare?

That meeting you reference didn't include the WBO.
The WBO to my knowledge is the only one that HASN'T had a corruption scandal. Please do correct me if you're wrong, but from what I've seen, they're the best of the 4.

What on earth are you talking about? WBO's presidents have been Acevedo, Jose Torres, and Francisco Valcárcel. You just believing things from random unsubstantiated claims by forum whack jobs?

Define "a corruption scandal". It's well known the WBO had a very cosy relationship with Warren and his fighters were overrepresented in the rankings. Is that a "corruption scandal"? I don't know, but it's a questionable business practice.Comment

The WBO was formed by Pepe Cordero who left the WBA after Arum admitted he'd been giving him bribes.
