Can we just go ahead and ignore the IBF?

    IBF champions list is terrible, especially when you get below super middle. Almost none of the champs are the top fighter in their division. Here are the current IBF title holders:
    Heavy: Wladimir Klitschko (OK)
    Cruiserweight: Joan Pablo Hernandez (LOL)
    Light Heavy: Bernard Hopkins (took this belt off a nobody, but fine)
    Super Middle: Carl Froch (fine)
    Middle: Jermain Taylor (HAHAHA)
    JR. Middle: Carlos Molina (Jesus)
    Welter: Kell Brook
    Super light: Lamont Peterson (LOL)
    Light: Mickey Bey (LOL)
    Super feather: Rances Barthelemy (AGAINST WHO? AGAINST WHO? AGAINST WHO?)
    Feather: Evgeny Gradovich (LOL)
    Super bantam: Carl Frampton (in a division with Rigondeaux & Santa Cruz)
    I don’t know the divisions below that too well so I’ll stop there, but that is a total joke of of a ‘champions’ list. The only IBF champ who is a clear number one in his division is Wlad, with Froch having an argument due to his schedule and Ward’s inactivity. All the belts are a joke but the IBF is it’s own kind of garbage. I wish we treated it like we do those ‘Mid Continental Southern Montana Super World Championship Belt’ and just ignored it.

    Brook is good
    Peterson is a joke and a cheat
    Bey robbed his title , terrible
    Rances Bartholomey is doing well and is a recent champ proving himself
    Gradovich is good and better than Donaire and probebly Gonzalez
    Frampton is good and only behing Rigo in the division

    lower than this they have some very good champions and some average ones

    IBF is racially bias.
    So is WBC actually and they have 30 something belts.
    WBA is corrupt as hell.
    WBO is just ****ing worthless.

    I think that's a bit unfair. Although I will agree that the IBF is biased towards American fighters...

    I actually think it is on par with the other "big 3's" list of champions... (without looking it up)
