    Do you class the IBO world champion belt on par with the others?

    I never have done, but Uve got the likes of vlad and GGG wearing it.

    I'm sure Ricky hatton vacated one of his other titles and kept the IBO one aswell

    To be honest, all the sanctioning bodys are about as legit as the WBF

    So what? It means **** all seeing as he beat a nobody for it not mention that a piece of toilet paper smeared with my **** has as much credibility as an IBO belt due to their ****ed up ranking system.

    I place it above both the WBA and WBC for several reasons. Their computerized ranking system, while not necessarily perfect, but are more fair and unbiased than some others. The WBA has the super and regular belts, need I say more. The WBC because of its base in Mexico seems to favor fighters of a certain ethnicity. The IBO also tries to award its title to some of the best boxers, unlike others such as the IBA, WBF, IBC etc.

    Nope. The four soups are corrupt enough, we don't need another one.

    if its minor its only legit if its very minor.


    Remember how worthless the wbo title was in the 90s? no one gave a ******'s fcuk about it and only desperadoes fought for it.

    It's very minor to the point that you only notice it when it's accompanied by legit belts, e.g. Wlad's paired with his IBF.
