Why hasn't anyone complained about this?

[Marchegiano]

You're right about Marciano and the belts. But the same could be said for all the other Champs too. But Rocky know a hell of a lot about money even if he knew very little about boxing.......!!

By the way...who is/was Larry??

Larry Holmes.

If I was Haymon I would say F^ck the WBO as well after that BS Lawsuit again him that WBO President Francisco Valcarcel supported

So a little research and you will see exactly WHY! It is nothing against the Champions but more so the PRESIDENT and the WBO as a whole

[Zaryu]

To be fair, I doubt I'm the only fan who doesn't give a piss about the WBO.

I don't give a **** about the Larry belt either.

The computer/boxrec belt is easily the worst, glad they're not yet pushing it as a major despite Joshua's efforts.


The WBC is the real org and the WBA is their real rival. The IBF and WBO are just splinters of the WBA riding the coattails of boxing to "legitimize" themselves but the truth is you're either Coke or your Pepsi, ain't no one got time for RC bull****. You're either Disney or Dreamworks or **** you. WBO and IBF ain't ****, idgaf who says they are.


Dig this, Jack Johnson is the first HW champion to receive a belt not made by fans or a newspaper or promoter but rather a body that's sole purpose was to keep **** fair because fans, newspapers, and promoters suck at that. His belt today is represented by the WBC. As in had he won it in 2020 the IBU(who gave him the belt) is now the EBU and the EBU recognizes the WBC as their world entity. Not no ****ing WBO/IBF bull****.

Jack Dempsey is the first WBA champion back when they were the NBA. Since then they changed their name and had two different orgs splinter from them but Jack Dempsey's belt is represented by the modern WBA.

At least the IBF has Larry, but, from Dempsey forward the WBA champions are too great for Larry and the rest of the IBF. Double for the WBC who not only reps Jack Johnson on forward but also Sam Langford, George Godfrey, and Peter Jackson under the NSC/IBU banners. Way too great to give a **** about ****ing Wlad to now or Larry to now.

So, I give a **** about the WBC and WBA. Those are the belts that represent the great champions in history. Rocky Marciano knows nothing about no ****ing IBF or WBO belt.

I can appreciate the historical legitimacy for the WBC and WBA, but they're the worst offenders when it comes to confusing the public from who the real world champion is.

Who cares? Saunders didn’t fight a top 20 fighter to win the title and hasn’t fought a top 20 fighter to defend it. Calling his title a title is an insult to boxing titles everywhere.

Well, the legit ones anyway.

PBC got beef with VADA and the WBO

[Butt stuff]

Also, I think there’s a lot more TC fans out there than there is BJS fans.

Jurassic Bob done whacking Haymon’s hypejobs around the ring.

I agree but my problem is the fake outrage by them acting like they care because it's bad for the sport if PBC/FOX doesn't recognize the WBO. In reality they only care when Crawford isn't recognized. It has nothing to do with what's best for the sport.

Crawford/Spence is in the top 5 of most wanted fights of practically every fight fan. Saunders vs anyone is not on anybody’s top 5 list. Pretending that Saunders and his weird gotten title are important in the whole scheme of things is just ignoring reality.
