Please stop listing IBO as a "World Title"!

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it.
So keep moving.

Two things:

A) Pretty much every belt is bogus. The whole thing is saturated.

B) The IBO generally has the best rankings of them all.

For all the b*tching, moaning, and period-induced complaining that goes on here about corrupt Organizations, when presented with a legitimate alternative that has far less meddling and corruption going on, y'all run for the hills.

Face it, most of you don't want parity and fairness. You want a reason to complain like a bunch of feminists.

Now, shut the **** up and go back to whatever it is you were doing.

They still havent figured out the belt doesn't make the champion , the champion makes the belt .

The OP really wanted to have the Thread say .......

" Joshua doesn't really have 4 Belts "


But then that would be too obvious !

Smiles, that's a better option.
Congratulations.

Hearn has regularly stated that he doesn't recognise the IBO as a legit world title..

I cant think of a time he has forced us to recognize the belt or commanded its respect the same as the others. How many shiny baubles did RJJ ****ing bring with him back in the day?

Even cotto used to parade round with some bull**** white belt that looked like it had come straight out of a toy box.

The only british fighter i can think of that thought they should be recognised for that belt was maybe Hatton back in the day.. and chris deluded twat eubank junior

hahah i know wut u talking' bout

[buddyr]

That's what we want and that would be ideal. But we all know that is not going to happen, thus why I said just leave it as is. Lol

It's gonna take the actual fighters to come together and say, "we don't need these worthless belts and 3% fees" and they will be done away with. I mean, you can have 3 and 4 division champs today and that could mean absolutely nothing. You have guys like Mikey Garcia(who I am a fan of) jumping from weight class to weight class cherry picking the weakest champs just to add another "division" to his resume. And if the Ibo is added as a major title within the next 10 years, you're gonna have 6 and 7 division champions like it's nothing. I put no stock in "multi-division champions today". Sugar Ray Leonard pulled that bs and was a lt hvy champ without even fighting in the division. And then you got these catch weight belts.. Boxing is a mess and it's gonna get worse

Only in the sense that every sports accomplishment is bogus. Who really cares who is the fastest or strongest? We have guns now. It doesn't matter anymore.

B) The IBO generally has the best rankings of them all.

They just use the boxrec rankings.

They don't enforce mandatories and allow champions to fight anybody in the top 50, which is why they can afford to rank fighters who don't want their title.

There are rare exceptions where that's the case, but generally speaking that isn't true.

So if Glass Joe was the WBC champion and Mike Tyson was the IBO champion , ppl would view Glass Joe as the true champion correct ?

Pretty silly post because #1 - I already said there are exceptions. #2 - A real life equivalent of Glass Joe wouldn't be able to win the WBC heavyweight title. #3 - There has never been a recognized world heavyweight champion who ditched other belts to just wear the IBO.
