Worst Boxing Org/Sanctioning Body of 2015?

[Teddy05]

Anthony David -

Essentially what you're saying is that you don't care what the facts are and you just want to invent an alternate reality.

Yes, there are too many champions. Blame the promoters. Blame the fighters. Blame the TV networks.

But the reason the IBF belt is no longer unified with the WBA & WBO belts is because Fury agreed to a voluntary defense even though the mandatory was long overdue.

If you don't think mandatories should exist, that's lovely, but Fury got his shot because he was a mandatory.

And Klitschko got his shot at the IBF belt back in 2006 because he was the mandatory.

So both of them had used the mandatory position to win their world titles, yet they blatantly disregarded their obligations to the IBF when it didn't suit them.

But since you're honest enough to admit you don't care about the facts, I'm not sure any of this will matter to you.

Care to explain how Charles martin has been given a year for his mandatory, to"enjoy his victory".

Dude didnt even land a punch and gets a years grace

Martin will lose his first defense, ripe for the picking for all the other champs.

I don't know anything about him, just the 2-3 rounds vs Glazkov. But even though I just bashed the IBF, still not sure if they are worst boxing org or not?

[aboutfkntime]

yep I voted wrong, should have gone 'other'

[LacedUp]

Well, even after thinking about it, I still have no clue.

I picked the WBC, because they ignored Klitschko for a DECADE.

But really no idea LMAO

That's just not true

I've never seen him either, but he looked unimpressive and won that title with zero effort, how will he do against the best in the division?

IBF for giving Martin one year to fulfil his mandatory obligations.

IBF mandatory is due once a year at heavyweight. WTF are you talking about . . .

[original zero]

Well, the WBA has been the worst for a while with the extra belts, but since they are trying to get rid of some, they may come up a bit in 2016. For 2015, though, it's between them and the IBF for stripping Fury and giving us another paper champion.

IBF had no choice but to strip Fury. IBF mandatory was overdue before Fury even fought for the title. There was no way to grant another voluntary.

Very easy to explain. IBF mandatory is due once a year at heavyweight. Glazkov-Martin was a mandatory fight. So the next mandatory is due a year later.

This is very very simple stuff. Why were you confused?

And how fkn ridiculous is it that fans are now crying and moaning that fighting one mandatory a year isn't enough . . .

As I stated before, I don't care.

Who would have had a problem with Glazkov stepping aside for the rematch? Judging by his own performance, I doubt even Glazkov would have complained.

The IBF got another great champion in Martin. Better that he holds another broken piece of the crown.

That's so good for boxing.

Yes, we are well aware that you do not care about facts, logic or reality. As far as I was aware though, BoxingScene covers the sport of boxing on Earth 1 and not in an alternate universe.

The IBF would have had a problem with Glazkov stepping aside since IBF rules do not allow step asides.

The IBF mandatory was due by November 15, 2015 (since Pulev had been the last mandatory on November 15, 2014).

The IBF, in an effort to encourage unified titles, allowed for the WBO mandatory (Fury) to take priority over their mandatory, ON THE CONDITION that the Klitschko/Fury winner agree to face Glazkov next.

They agreed.

Even though they agreed, they secretly negotiated a rematch clause, which they hid from the IBF.

So instead of facing Glazkov as he promised, Fury took a ***VOLUNTARY*** defense against Klitschko.

The IBF had no choice but to strip him. There was literally no way under the rules to not strip him without a very costly lawsuit resulting.

To criticize the IBF in this matter is absolutely ridiculous.

But I know, I know. You don't care. Facts don't matter to you.

Maybe we can find a boxing site that covers the alternate reality you live in so you can have the fantasy discussions you desire?
