Probably one of the reasons they didn't make the Broner vs Maidana fight PPV as originally planned.

    WBC is the most famous but they suck up to fighters too much, WBA is a joke with their 'regular' and 'super' champions.
    IBF might be better but somehow they magically bumped Jermaine Taylor to #15 recently for his fight in DECEMBER against a 32-12-4 opponent. Seems a little convenient for Sam Solomon title defense.

      That said, the concept of 1 champion is something I prefer.
      we'll see. i believe BKB is the future and more known fighters will head over to BKB.

Their only sham what comes up in my mind suddenly is that Lamont Peterson is still their champion in 140 after he tested positive with PED-s but even with this they are way better than the other organizations.
        i don't hear too much blatant corruption from IBF, but i agree that is pretty bad.

          WBA as the top title and then have the WBC as a secondary title. Kinda like WWE. Have a World champion and a United States or Intercontinental champion. Or you coil just go he UFC way and just have one title per weigh class. And no interims for either!

            That's true but at least Taylor has won fights and is unbeaten since 2011. It's still an inflated ranking don't get me wrong but with the WBC someone like Khan magically appeared at number 2 when he hadn't yet fought at 147.

              Boxing fans are ****ing ******. You cry and whine about the WBC and its ******ed Silver and Diamond belts, yet you accept it as being legit simply by age. If I started a sanctioning body tomorrow based on the principles of one title per division, mandatory challengers getting their shots and catchweight fights being ineligible for belts you would call my new organisation pointless.

                BKB is trying to fix boxing for the better. no running, non-stop action, ONE true champion, etc.

                BKB is the future and the next evolution of boxing.
                Maybe for people with short attention spans that can't sit through a 3 minute round

                If you hate boxing so much leave here go to a BKB forum.
