The most legitimate sanctioning body: IBF, WBC, WBO, or WBA?

[patron]

What sanctioning body do you feel is the most legitimate? I understand we are fans and may not know all the ins and outs of these organizations.

At the present, history BS aside, I personally feel the IBF is the most legitimate. They do not appear to be making up belts for no apparent reason (i.e. interim, regular, super, and franchise champions). They have only ONE world champion per division. They appear to make a good attempt to have boxers on an even playing field with re-hydration clauses after weigh in.

Thoughts?

at the moment? the IBF hands down. the WBA and the WBC are competing to see who is the most disastrous of the two and the WBO is top rank's belt.

ps: the WBC is the most beautiful belt of them all, such a shame the organization sucks so bad right now.

The IBF is the best at following its own rules most of the time, but their rankings are terrible and as a result they often end up disrupting big fights to force a mandatory against a bum. If the IBF had better rankings they'd be the best by far.

The WBA is an absurd joke at this point.

The WBO is basically owned by Arum and Warren.

The WBC is the best by sanctioning body by default, but that's a low bar and they're quickly becoming the next WBA with this Franchise nonsense.

The Ring used to be the best championship-awarding organization but when DLH bought it he compromised its integrity.

Right now the TBRB is the most credible organization in my opinion.

IBF. I personally think its the best looking belt. rankings are bad but they force mandatories so the next in line always gets a chance. rehydration clause so they don't blow up. rarely have interim belts unless someone is injured. no BS from them.

The reason the IBF rankings are so bad is because established guys don’t want to fight for the belt because they know they’ll have mandatories imposes on them that cannot be avoided.

Yeah a lot of IBF fans in here. Also IBF easily for me. Doesn't seem corrupted and they follow their guidelines pretty strictly when it comes to mandos. Only 1 belt per division which is also great. I would do away with the others and keep IBF if given the choice.

IBF






The rest of them in whatever order you want to rank them, all three are a joke.

[just the facts]

Kind of who's the tallest midget argument isn't it?

[BoxingIsGreat]

Add the choice: None. Then I'll vote.

[Earl-Hickey]

IBF the rest are all bogus as each other.
