    The status of the IBO belt? Does it really mean anything to be the IBO Champion?

    Is it the 5th best title to have?

    It's worthless and no one cares about it. It seems to have gained some traction in the past few years, but I don't think anyone cares to even acknowledge what the 5th bestest belt in the whole world is.

    The words IBO come up more than IBA so I guess you could say that, but in my eyes it's like asking who is the better fighter, Dominick Guinn or Monte Barrett? Maybe you can differentiate between the two but what does that conclusion do for you? When a top fighter covets that title it might mean something.

    Yeah i see that, but i mean Jean Pascal and Wladimir Klitschko have the title, and Lennox Lewis had the title before.
    So in that way it is OK.

    Not like IBA where James Toney is the Champ.

    Note: I go with Monte Barrett :smoke (joke)

    Sergo Martinez said he got paid well when he held the belt. As soon as he gave it up, the purses went down.
