Rid**** Bowe and Marco Antonio Barrera.

The great Ernie Terrel said I didn't realize there were four worlds!!
The best overall is W.B.C.

WBO and IBF have the most integrity for years now the WBA and WBC are disgraceful jokes.

[Fetta]

Ive only considered the big 3 to be legit and the WBC to be the best

I think 3 is the magic number where it's enough, because you can have like a triangle rivalry thing going.

WBC,IBF,WBA,RING use to be all you needed to be undisputed even when Zab Judah was champ in 2005...when did having the WBO become a criteria?

When Hearns earned it.

The problem is guys get "title" fights in a completely BS way. Guys who are not highly ranked by wba/wbc can circumvent that and get their promoter to get them a cheap title fight. Then they get 20 defenses against bogus contenders.

Look at Russel v Lomanchenko. There is no way this should be a fight for a world title. Utterly shameful and pathetic.

yeah but it's all bs.

I care about one belt and one belt only, the only genuine belt there is. the man who beat the man.

If that's called ring, wbc, wba, wbo, ibf, ibo, wbu, ibc - whatever, that's what is the real deal. The organizations are just money making machines.

the name of the belt is not making the champion, it's the other way around.

God I hate all these ***ing belts.
