    Which is worse?

    While all 4 organizations are corrupt, it's pretty much common sense that the WBA and WBC are the worst out of the 4 belt organizations.

    But which is worse between the 2.

    WBA ranking a dead person (by mistake) or WBC purposefully ranking a retired boxer in their rankings at 147/154.
    14
    WBA ranking a deceased boxer (Ali Raymi) by mistake
    35.71%
    5
    WBC ranking a retired boxer (Floyd Mayweather) on purpose
    28.57%
    4
    Both are equally embarrassing and are clearly the 2 worst belt organizations
    35.71%

    Idk if I can say which organizations are worse than other ones but both of these things were silly.

    Eh, come to think of it the Ali Raymi one is worse. The other one they were giving a boxer time to conclusively decide to retire -- that's bending the rules a bit but it's ok considering he was a long time veteran who had held their belt for years. The prior was the organization looking on BoxRec and saying 25 KOs bro that's sick.

    Too bad about Ali Raymi. I mean, he didn't look like he could have fought any actually solid fighters but it might have been a fun watch to see him come over the states and fight someone with an actual name. Yemen has probably been craving a big time boxer ever seen Hamed retired, so it would have at least garnered some interest.

        Mayweather has refused to give up the belt so that's why he still has it technically whereas I'm pretty sure Ali Raymi didn't ask to be ranked even after he died.

          I'll never forget James Toney calling the WBC "We Be Crooks".

            But Mayweather already announced his retirement after the fight and in the press conference, which usually means you vacate the title. Vitali did the same thing and was granted "emeritus" status but wasn't ranked.

            Ali getting ranked is obviously silly but that was a mistake whereas the other is done on purpose.

                worst is the wba super and regular champ crap so that they can charge fees on both.

                  I think Floyd should be getting grilled way more in the press for his bull**** about giving up the beats after he schooled Pacquiao. There's no way this guy should be ranked. He said he's retired, we should hold him to his word and demand he remove himself from anything related to active fighters. It's bad enough he's going to cast a shadow, but it's quite another thing to have your hand in things.

                  It's pretty embarrassing if you ask me. There's a new generation of fighters vying for prominence, he should let that happen organically....

                    Yes, this is pathetic. A fighter cannot even unify anymore. Truly a mockery.
