    WBC, WBA, IBF, or WBO

    There has been some talk about several shady things regarding these organizations. Unfair ratings, ridiculous sanctioning fees, fighters being stripped of their titles because of nothing, and so on. Which organization do you think is the worse right now?

    I personally would choose the IBF. First, they kept LJ rated in the lightweight top ten after his death. That is some serious lack of organization. I also read on the site that talks boxing, that the IBF has Roque Cassiani in the top 15 even after he is like 2-11 since 2002. Another thing is that I think that IBF heavyweight champion Chris Byrd has been part of some terrible decisions. First, the fight against Oquendo, then the draw against Golota, and the narrow win over McCline. Three fights in a row that could have been three decision losses to Byrd. Well, at least the first two. Still, he holds the belt.

    All in all, I see a lot of controversy surrounding the IBF. This is some objective posting. I am not hating on any organization. It's just that these aforementioned things are strange to say the least.

        Currently the worst IN THIS PARTICULAR ORDER.

        WBC
        IBF
        WBO
        WBA

        I was hoping the WBC would go belly up when they were being sued but at the last minute they were saved. Hopefully at least two of them could suffer possibly from lawsuits. Hopefully the WBC and IBF would be the one's to suffer.

          Imagine how amazing our sport would be if it had just one major league, like the NBA. Then all the best guys would have to fight each other, because there would only be one world title! A dream fight every 6 months or so...

            WBC still has some fame, but I think they have done some bad stuff too. For example, when they rated Mayorga #1 at 154 when he had never done anything significant at that weight. I like Mayorga, but that rating was a gift.

                I think that the WBO is not as bad as some say. If I was a fighter, I would probably go for the WBO belt, since it's the one I like the most(I like the way it looks) and seems to be respected more now.
