Is the WBO a worthless belt? Kovalev vs Shabranskyy

[Lou Cipher]

We've been researching these organizations for 30+ years. We're happy to discuss anything about them that you wish.

But since you're more interested in childish insults, we're going to assume that even you know you don't have your facts straight.

Who is we? Under what capacity do you study them? Don't forget ass hole, you posted a thread asking about the WBO so dont act like youre some authority now.

You are not.

Lou Cipher is the authority on these boards. Just because Lou Cipher ruthlessly buries all the ignorant fanboy wannabes on here, using all levels of maturity from low to high with savage expertise, do not get that confused with any doubt of Lou Cipher's VAST and SUPERIOR knowledge of all things Boxing. Including the belts. more than one of which I have right here with me.

We didn't post the thread. Is English not your first language? You don't seem to know what words mean.

The WBO should be de-recognised. Yes, some good fighters hold WBO titles, but they should be forced to fight for other belts if they want to call themselves champions

[TOBYLEE1]

All the belts are worthless, the champion defines the belt with whom he fights

This right here. Too many belts and champions, the belts have lost their meaning

Ring magazine title is completely meaningless. Oscar De La Hoya bought the magazine and changed all the rules, and started making up rules as he went along, to benefit HBO whenever possible and to harm SHO whenever possible.

Nobody in the industry takes the magazine belt seriously anymore. How could you? De La Hoya owns it. It's his own personal championship. It's got no credibility whatsoever and has nothing to do with lineal anymore and Ring now has selectively enforced "mandatories" so they can strip SHO fighters whenever they want.

Clearly boxing fans value the WBC, WBA and IBF titles, as do the boxers. Most of the greatest and most famous fights of the last 50+ years were fought for those belts.

Lineal titles are meaningless now. Everyone knows Joshua would destroy Fury. So what does Fury's "lineal" title mean? Nothing. Joshua is forced to face top contenders to keep his belts. Fury can do coke and never fight and stay champ. Ludicrous.

have not seen bias in their rankings yet that may change now that he fired 2nd editor since he bought it.dougie (the hater)fisher is running show.

please don't bring up IBO that's the last thing we need a 5th

I agree and always thought of the IBO as the red headed step child of the belts but all I'm saying is look at their 4 recognizable Champs

Joshua
Golovkin
Eubank
Lara

Lara, AJ , Gennady are clearly the #1 in their division and if Eubank wins the WBSS then he's no lower then #2 . All those division are relatively deep

Now look at the best WBO strap holders Crawford was #1 but has probably vacated , Loma ( weak division ), Usyk, Cotto ( who was completely undeserving of that title)
And more often then not their Belt holder is the weakest in their division

How can you not think the WBO and IBo are approaching the same level of importance or lack thereof ?
