    Is there a bigger joke organisation in world boxing than WBU ??

    Most of their titles are vacant, and the "world" titlists they recognize are mostly lowly ranked nobodies.

    I think the IBO deserve better than that grouping, they are at least trying to do things in an honest way.

    IBO has Adamek as #2 Heavyweight. They did manage to build the first emotional computer system :yep

    Boxrec is the only ranking outside the main 4 that makes sense :good

    Just for example, the WBU have a 51 year old heavyweight "Super Champion" in Andreas Sidon. Under him is heavyweight "Champion" Mark De Mori, and then follows the Klitschkos and a whole lot of guys who would cream their "champions." :lol:

    Clearly. If you take a look at their beltholders, then there is a huge gap in class between the IBO and WBU + other ABC ones. Almost all of them are solid top10 fighters, while most of those WBU guys don't even reach the top100.

    IBU? I be you?

    They should have a WTF organization. That way when someone like Andrei Fonfara becomes their "champion", people will all say "WTF was that?" and the organization will become popular just by word of mouth.:deal

    I'm starting a new sanctioning body called the IBG.

    Whoever wins one of our titles can proudly exclaim, "I be G" to all the fans in the arena.

    Only a true G will have what it takes to win the IBG championship.
