Comments Thread For: Fury: IBF Belt is Piece of ****, I'd Win it Again and Then Piss On It!

[aboutfkntime]

IBF is the one alphabet body that actually plays by its own rules. They shouldn't be disrespected like that. Hope Fury pays for his words in the ring one day... like fight for the IBF title and get KOd.

They are ****, there is no other word for it.

They " play by their own rules "..... but, their rules are ****.

[miniq]

Shame ANthony Joshua will remain protected once he effectivly pays for the IBF belt.

I'd pay to watch Fury win it back and throw it into the crowd or stand on that worthless junk.

That belt holds no value or meaning anymore. Same goes for pretty much all the belts and rankings.

Too many boxers walking around as "champions" when they haven't beaten ANYBODY.

[aboutfkntime]

It'd be hilarious if a long standing undisputed champ kept vacating & winning, vacating & winning a particular alphabet belt every couple years cuz he thought it was a bs belt I must admit. I'm pro-devaluing alphabet belts by any means necessary & that would certainly be one way to lower a belts value in many boxing fans minds.

I side with you emphatically on this. The alphabet belts are a worthless clutch of relics that need to be blown away in a strong hot wind and replaced with something that actually has some meaning. A single unified belt, or something else entirely. Fury's in a perfect position to totally undermine the whole structure, and from where I'm standing that can only be a good thing. He needs to shake up the temple and overturn the old idols.

I'm of the belief that alphabet titles are the absolute worst thing that has ever happened to boxing. They make the sport unnecessarily complicated. Each has their own set of rules which they go by and their own separate rankings. One single governing belt at the world level is all you need. Keep your regional, state, and national titles, with one belt at the world level and you're good.

I love you guys.

Why would they rate Crawford? hes the WBO champion ; you do know that sanctioning bodies dont rate other champions right? Vargas is now the regular WBO 147 lb champ , and Matthyse-Provo are campaigning for the WBA-WBC.

How the fk is that a good thing ?


When the WBC refused to rank Klitschko, they appeared to be inept.


You are wakk if you think that I am going to dig around in their rule-book to work out why they appear to be so ******.


Even the simplest casual fan upon hearing that Wilder is the heavyweight champion of the world, would have said..... hold on, that big Russian guy who has dominated HW for the last 5-10 years...... HE is the best heavyweight on the planet, not this Wilder guy..... right ?


How the fk did that benefit boxing ?

[techliam]

It seems Fury couldn't even have kept the title if he wanted to, with the Klitschko contract and all. The IBF devalued the title with their own policy. Kind of ridiculous how the orgs pass around titles anyway, given the current, legit real HW champion really only holds the WBO. The winner of Fury-Vlad so much needs to fight Wilder/Pov.

Agreed. The IBF should debate two major things at the next convention

- Allowing a mandatory exception for an immediate rematch between a newly crowned champion and the former champion, with the understanding that the winner will face the IBF mandatory

- Open pandoras box and rank other bodies champions and minor titlists. The fear here is that the others will do the same, and fighters would prefer to have a corrupt lenient body like the WBA/WBC/WBO and thus ditch the IBF, but this happens already. Other organisations may boycott the IBF, but its unlikely as it would fly in the face of public perception.

The quicker the IBF distance themselves and innovate quicker than the others, the better. They are the closest thing we have to a legitimate world organisation

(Fury is also the WBA champion, above the several other WBA champions. I think I may also be a WBA champion, but i'd have to check through my papers. A few of my friends and colleagues are too)

The IBF was just going by their rulebook. Say what you want about them but they always follow their laws to the letter which is more than can be said about the rest of the alphabet groups.

If you want to blame someone blame Kathy Duva for not wanting to work something out with Fury. All she cared about was getting a paper title for her guy Glazkov, luckily that plan backfired on her in the end. Karma.

It is planned idiocy, there is no no other phrase for it.

So, an old lady is waiting at the traffic lights..... go go go, "but, there is a car coming"..... just walk b1tch, the light is green

Most of their champions are second-rate, and their mandatories are absurd.

The IBF is transparent, which means Fury knew the whole time what was required of him if he beat Klitschko. If he chose to go ahead with the rematch then that's on him.

If you want to argue that the IBF should allow for immediate rematches when a champion loses his title....that might not be a bad idea. They just have to change the rule for the future.

But apart from that they should be praised for being consistent and always applying the same standards to all fighters. All the bullshit about A-sides and big money promoters bending the rules when its convenient doesn't seem to happen with them.

[LoadedWraps]

IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has no interest in trying to reclaim the IBF world title. Fury captured the IBF belt, along with his current three, when he unseated division king Wladimir Klitschko last November in Germany.

WAR FURY!!!

I wish Fury wouldn't mince his words and just speak his mind.

WAR FURY!..........

Nice job Fury !

Win it, then bin it..... at the post-fight interview.

hahah yea, go on tell us what you really think LMAO

good job in my book !

Apart from corruption, and fragmentation through exclusivity, I used to think that failing to enforce mandatory's was the worst crime that a sanctioning body could commit.

But it's not, who fkn cares if you religiously enforce your mandatory, when your rankings are wakk!

And original zero is nowhere to be seen.



The IBF is a laughingstock, Fury has more clout.

[joe strong]

Stripping Tyson after a week for beating Vlad was not the way to go about things, they could have at least negotiated for it to be his first defense after the rematch. Its obvious they wanted a different champion so they didn't have to wait in turn for sanctioning fees.
Compared to the WBA the IBF look like choir boys, i cant see Tyson abiding by any of the belts mandatory's for long, and expect him to give up more belts in the future .

I totally agree. I think if Fury wins the rematch with Klitschko he will vacate the WBA title as he wouldn't want to waste his time on a guy like Ortiz when there are huge money fights out there with Wilder, Joshua, Haye or Povetkin. Ortiz may be a big threat but he is not a big payday & it's all about the money. Tyson, Foreman, Lennox all vacated belts to seek bigger paydays. It sucks for the fans but it is a business & it's their health at risk not the fans...

Fury is the best HW on the planet, his next 3 fights will prove it.
