      I like how they enforce their mandatories and actually follow their own rules, but they really need to improve their ranking system

            It's very simple. The IBF is the only governing body that follows their rules and doesn't give preferential treatment to top fighters.

            Because they don't break the rules to help top fighters, top fighters prefer to fight for other organizations instead.

            The IBF ranks the best fighters that are interested in fighting for the IBF.

            The IBF rankings are honest and fair. The problem is that top fighters aren't going to be interested in honest and fair when they can fight for other organizations that are willing to bend the rules for them.

            Fans should just stop recognizing the IBF & WBO as "world" titles. They were created in the 1980s out of thin air and have no claim to the lineage of the sport.

            The historical world championships, with a hundred year history (IBU, NYSAC, NBA & NSC) are represented by the WBC & WBA.

            Fans and media should have never allowed promoters to cram the IBF & WBO down their throat. Two world titles was already too much as it was.

              They kind of already do hence why their rankings are so bad~ except for that one odd guy that realizes it is a good path to decent money.

                All the alphabet groups are corrupt & have pretty bs rankings. You can have a pissing contest with them & discover good things about them or point out bad things about them, but the bottom line is they all helped f#ck up how things work in boxing & they continue to keep that up.

                  Considering they are one of the better ones, it would never happen.
