    Somehow the IBF is the most legit title in boxing

    Think about the mess the wba is and how the wbc is giving away diamond belts as Christmas stocking stuffers. Even The Wbo proclaims a “super” champion after a certain number of defenses.

    The IBF was hands down the most corrupt organization and their former president was in prison but somehow it’s the most legitimate belt now because they just keep it simple.

    How the **** did we get here?

    I don’t think so when you follow your rules
    To the T and end up stripping YOur Champions because they have better options and hurts the sport and their own organization is a good look.

    Also having them enforce their mandos so diligently which many times
    causes most known fighters to fight for different organizations and results in the Mandos enforced that have no business in the ring like Spence/FORGET his name or Gennady / Wade and basically just showing up
    To get executed. also isn’t also isn’t a good look for the organization

    It’s good to follow the rules but there needs
    To be some wiggle room

      It is...no question about it. All the other organizations are involved with bribery and favouritism. If you don't live by the rules of the IBF they don't give a **** who you are and they will do something about it.

      WBA is trash with all their different "champions", WeBeCrooked is corrupt and shows obvious favouritism plus they protect some of their champions. The WBO is basically Arums and Warrens *****.

        there are 4 diamond champions right now. not exactly being handed out as candy. what is wrong with the wbc recognizing other champions to try to facilitate unification?

        you know why the ibf is the most legit, because they dont want to go to jail.

          IBF is always keeping it real.
          Fight your way to a mandatory position and you get your shot. It's as simple as it can be.
          WBC is the worst. There is no debate about that.

              I agree. People complain about the IBF mandatories but at least they follow their rules and aren't controlled by certain promoters.

                The IBF aren’t necessarily saints themselves since Loeffler, Haymon, and HBO orchestrated the alternative mando for GGG vs Wade. Those boxers weren’t at fault and followed the plan provided by their grand management. How the IBF sanctioned an at-home incarcerated athlete has me to believe that the plan was for Wade to take a dive early and not take punishment later rounds. HBO got their date, most likely pressuring Loeffler. Haymon was able to fulfill his cliche way of things to provide a massive 500K payday for Wade and was advised to take the fall early. Wade was falling down su****iously taking shots on his shoulder...

                It is what it is. Now because everyone was happy and the Tureano Johnson replacement was fulfilled, it is what it is. Had the fight been postponed then Wade would’ve never seen that 500K nor gotten a GGG fight. Brilliant scheme to take a huge purse and not take damage.

                  IBF does seems to be the most ORGANIZED though and they don't wait for no fighter, once they order Mandatory and you don't take it they have no problem stripping or forcing you to drop the title as seen with Tyson Fury and with GGG

                    Maybe it is the most legit currently... But that doesn't meant it is that much better than the rest. It just happens to be the best of the worst.
