    According to the WBA website, their origin was "National Boxing Association" based in the US. Then in 1962, it changed its name to WBA.

    I forgot the website but according to it, Some officials of the NBA got fed up with its organization(corruptions) and made their own, creating the WBA. Then same thing happen, some WBA officials got fed up and created WBC. Then some boxing organizers/officials, got fed up with the WBC/WBA and created the IBF. Then a bunch of somebodies got fed up again, then created the WBO. Then somebody got fed up with the WBC, WBA, IBF, and WBO, then created the IBO, IBA, WBU, and WBF. Even the NBA was recreated again.
    WORLD BOXING ASSOCIATION History
    (by - Feb 5, 2009 - 2:02:27 PM)

    Our organization was born as the National Boxing Association (NBA) in 1921, in Rhode Island, as an entity devoted to the government and control of this professional activity, with limited jurisdiction in the United States. Boxing was the breach of the world at the time it worn out by wars and the economic crisis. During 41 years the National Boxing Association developed a very interesting and unquestionable work for the benefit of boxing. The NBA accomplished the heavyweight championships with world recognition like Dempsey-Filippo, Dempsey-Carpetier and the memorable fights big hands ‘the killer’ against Tunney, in 1927. For the first time in USA, a radio transmission of boxing was made by initiative of J. Andrew White, who narrated the Packey O’Gatty and Frankie Burs fight from the Boyle’s Thirty Acres of New Jersey. That same night Jack Dempsey defeated George Capetier.



    Fernando Mandry Galíndez told us, that the importance on how boxing led the way of a repudiated activity to an activity that has great promoters of unsuspected abilities and creativity.



    Tex Rickard makes the old Madison Square Garden, the Mecca of boxing, in the heart of New York, the center of the United States. Rickard’s imagination achieved the incredible ticket collection of more than two million of dollars.



    Rickard dies unexpectedly in Miami 1931 of appendicitis. However, other hands and entrepreneurs with the initiative and experience left by Tex, appeared in Boxing. The incredible Joe Louis appeared and conquered the Heavyweight Title in a very short time in the late 30’s, when, in the 40’s Uncle Sam called everyone to the war.



    That war silenced the fans, because everything pointed towards Europe, where big battles were taking place, but in the late 40’s when the war ended boxing became stronger and the first sports activity worldwide. Great champions were born in those golden years and spread to all divisions and to all the latitudes of the world.



    Boxing becomes so important that makes it necessary the adoption of new rules, new authorities, capable of coping with that new trend. They centralized in a real governing organization, its direction and guide.



    The name changes in 1962



    The universal projection of boxing, its strength, and the presence of important people, urge an organization with a real world vision, and on August 23, 1962, when the circumstances and a future vision, forces the need of a real organization that gave professional boxing its universal value. It is then that NBA, pioneer of the nationwide boxing conduction, becomes, a universal alliance into the World Boxing Association. 80 years of constant activity and a continuous search for the boxing benefit. Its first constitution was elemental and simple, as well as conservative, without *********s until the Annual Convention of Cartagena in 1978, when the first ********* directed to the preservation of decisions contrary to the condition of members was approved. Thereafter, in 1980 in Puerto Rico, were made other *********s that only contributed to make an incoherent constitution.

            On my post, when i mentioned some site, it was another boxing site(not WBA). It has an article on how all this ABC organizations came into play. Basically, some members became delusional of the organization and created their own. I knew of the WBA site that you posted. That is where i got the NBA to WBA, i am just being lazy to cop and paste the WBA history in here.

                Im not arguing just for the sake of it, only pointing out facts that some on here blindly disregard to suit their own agenda. And while I agree that the WBC title was the most coveted for awhile I just don't see it like that today. Not one of the 4 major orgs is any better than the other today. They're all corrupt and have lousy biased rankings. They have all watered the word champion down with their diamond belts, interim champions, super champions, champion emeritus, etc., etc., etc.,. None of them have any prestige, and if you asked a regular joe off the street who the WBC lightheavyweight champion was, or the WBA super featherweight champion, he's have no idea.

                  Floyd said his American and should be supported by Americans but why is he not supporting or fighting for the American based IBF.

                    Unfortunately this has been a horrible thing for boxing, but everyone thinks they can do a better job and just keep messing it up more. Doesn't make ant sense why one organization doesn't try and buy out other orgs to strengthen their position and add legitimacy to the sport as well.

                      The irony in this thread is that the *****s come out to bash pacquiao and the philippines and defend floyd's fetish for the wbc belt when the WBC was created in the Philippines and the 1st president of the organization filipino.
