Of all the 4 alphabet sanctioning bodies...which is best?

[extracurRICular]

The IBF by far. Its conduct has changed massively since being put into federal observation. I believe its non-profit. However their strict adherence to rules, and implementations such as same day weigh ins mean most top level fighters dont bother with the IBF title. Why would they if they can get another world title, run by an organisation they can manipulate?

The WBC dont even try to hide how corrupt they are. I dont understand why people think they are worth mentioning?

The WBO/WBA are compromised by promoters.

When did they start doing that? I agree, though, out of the bunch the IBF seems to be the best.

For the past couple of years, they've mandated a morning weigh in, as well as the standard weigh in. Fighters cant weigh more than 10lbs higher than the weight class

Right on, that's a good move.

Asking a boxing fan which alphabet group he thinks is the best should be like asking a guy who just got jumped which guy among those who jumped him was the best fighter or asking a girl who just got gang ****d who had the best ****. Alphabet groups acting individually, but with similar goals have made the true definition of the term "champion" obsolete in boxing. F#ck all of dem corrupt mfers.

WBC pushes for unification and now forcing their champions to take VADA testing.

IBF follows their own rules

WBA/WBO are crap.

The WBA, with it's plethora of belts, is definitely a messy jumble; still, I'd like to see you point to an actual instance where the WBA was dictated to by boxing politics.

You look down their entire slate of champions and, outside of the situation at 140 (where all of their belts were made vacant at about the same time), all of the WBA's champions make sense.

I voted based only on the first 4 options

WBC I used to think was shady af, but Saluman seems to be saying all the right things and doesn't seem to just have money on his mind.

[Caught Square]

IBF in terms of being less likely to bend over for promoters/ big money fights of fighters who were unranked but you can't deny the WBC has the prestige.

Allakhverdiev was miraculously risen 5 ranks up within the WBA ratings, coincidentally in tandum with the negotiations for the Broner fight. At no. 10, he suddenly became no. 5 to ensure he was eligible for the WBA regular title for (no 2) Broner. He didnt fight at all to achieve this. In fact, other fighters in the top 10 dropped in the rankings or remained the same, despite actually fighting. Compromised by Al Haymon.

Just a recent example, you can check for yourself, the WBA keep an archive of their monthly rankings
