    They're all the same, it's the fighter that defines the champion. A champion will clear out the top contenders, where a title holder can simply hide behind the title.

      I'm gonna skip the IBO but with regards to the other belts, it depends on the division, for example, at heavyweight the IBF means nothing. At welterweight, the WBA means nothing and at middleweight, any belt not owned by GGG and/or Canelo is useless.

        The IBO by a long shot.

          I actually didn't take into account the wording of the question in my votes. They're all pretty "worthless" to a degree, and if I could change my vote I would vote for all of them.

          I voted thinking of the ****** stuff some organizations have done recently, based on the stuff that's painfully obvious without trying to look for a fault.

          But yeah they all suck. I don't base the value of a champion on the letters of the belt he carries, but more so on who he beat and how he did it. For example, there's no doubt in my mind GGG is the best MW fighter in the world and should be considered the Champ at the division if it were not for ****** belt politics.

            Any title which has a regular, super, interim, champion emeritus, and champion in recess titleholder in its organization is a farce.

              IBO is totally useless. Obviously that. Then WBO.

                  Hard to believe people are actually picking WBA over IBO
                  WBA is a garbage

                    I consider the IBF, WBC, WBA & WBO all equally worthless. They all are highly corrupt groups that sorta kinda work together & have a symbiotic relationship that gives legitimacy to each other.

                    Sure you can say that one alphabet group did something f#cked up last week & next month you can probably say another alphabet group did something as or more f#cked up, but I think they are equal partners in the raping of the word champion & of the popularity of the sport with all these "world" title belts & horrible rankings which give a poor representation of the sport which is their biggest crime in my eyes & not about what they've done last week or will do next month.

                      This poll is corrupted. The WBO has only 6 votes when Ali and Vargas are fighting for the title at 147? In what world should the winner of that fight be a champion in the welterweight division?
