    ring magazine's titles aren't lineal anymore. the magazine is owned by a promoter now and used as a propaganda tool.

      This doesn't need a poll. It's just a fact that it's not recognized

        I care more about quality of opposition than quality of trinket, but in general I'm reluctant to recognize any more titles.

        WBA/WBC are the titles with the most significant history, but the IBF is also considered a major world title. WBO is treated as a major belt by some but others will consider the WBA/WBC/IBF holder as undisputed.

        The IBO on the other hand is a minor title. Somewhere between a WBU and WBO belt.

          It's not a legit belt, but the IBO has some legit champions right now in the upper weight classes: winner of Joshua/Klitschko at HW, Huck at 200, GGG at 160, Lara at 154

          Right now, it has the status the WBO had in the 1990s

            It's not really considered legit. I consider it a good belt to hold though. You won't get stripped shadily. You don't get forced into situations like with the others. Its the only belt I'd fight for personally.

                    Don't give a fook who has the belt and I don't recognize it at all.

                    If it was entirely removed I literally wouldn't think about it for one second.

                      They are called mandatories.
