IBF Orders Mayweather-Judah 2

[Shanus]

You previously had credability with the IBF? The IBF is the second worst organization, behind WBA and its "Super Champs", and the WBC's "Champion Emeritus".

It was quite respectable, being a world title, I was neutral, seeing as all the top champs actually owned it.. Kosta, then Hatton, Zab (at the time was a good champ).. the list goes on, now the WBO which everybody disliked, is in the top 3..

I always felt WBC was the best belt, even though they are clearly biased. WBC's champions are usually the best out of all the governing bodies. I wonder if anyone still regards the WBA as a major title. WBA is really out of it, they have super champions and regular champions, WTF? WBO is good sometimes, they have alot of the real titlists (Calzaghe, Margarito). For the heavyweights, however, the WBO will simply not suffice.

Sanctioning fees, my friend. That's the only possible reason for this. Does this sport need a universal commission or what?

asian sensation- remember when we discussed the possiblity of close scorecards to save judah's marketability?
simply another avenue but our discussion was in the neighborhood

There is no "best belt." It's the fighter that owns it, and the lineage that brought it to him. Tarver was the IBO champ and was recognized as probably the best LHW in the world (Erdei has claim to a split lineage as well, tracing back to Virgil Hill). And the IBO is a computerized joke of a belt. It's the championship lineage that determines the worth of the belt, not the letters printed on it.

As long as sanctioning fees are a percentage of the purse then you are going to see these types of corrupt rulings. They are rematching for a paper title anyway, so who cares?

He already did what he wanted to do. Become "Champ" at 147. I doubt that he wants to fight Zab again. Hopefully he fight Margarito, or Mosley or DLH. Or goes back to 140.

there aint no need fo me explaining man. Judah gonna pop a Judah vs Spinks 2 on this rematch. They aint been told yet, but they already know. Uh!
