    Whichever belt is accompanied by the Ring belt is #1. Ring on its own does not carry the most prestige.

    1. WBA (oldest / longest lineage)
    2. WBC
    3. IBF
    4. WBO

    How WBA with its super, regular, interim, in recess and gold "world titles" is any better than WBO? Can you explain please? In fact, even some sh1tty organizations like GBO or GBU ar far more legit than WBA with its countless "WORLD" titles.

    WBA and WBC both have serious management problems but that doesn't change the fact that they are still #2 and #1 respectively. No competition there. If you consider GBO or GBU more legit than WBA, I don't know what to tell you.

    Both WBA and WBC are equally corrupt, but they both have the most history and are the most prestigious out of any world title in boxing. The Ring belt is more of a trophy, although significant when combined with another belt, it's meaningless on its own just like the invisible lineal title.

    In terms of overall prestige it goes

    WBA Super World Champion
    WBC World Champion
    IBF World Champion
    WBO World Champion


    WBA Regular Champion


    WBC Interim title
    WBO Interim title
    IBF Interim title
    WBA Interim title

    IBO Champion

    European Title
    British/Commonwealth Title
    Japanese Title
    NABF Title

    Please tell me how organization that has 3-4 "world champion" in 1 weight class can be considered as a legit one?

    #1. UFC - Best fight the best.
    #2. IBO - Computerized rankings, best at least ranked vs best.

    The rest are criminal organizations pretending to be involved in boxing for tax fraud purposes.
