    This isn't for a world title.

    $180,000 isn't bad though, for Enzo.

    Not a world title - IMO.

    Though he will be closer to being a genuine champ than before, having been gifted it previously.

    Should be a good fight. I do not count anything but the WBC champion.

    They are all just as much champions as each other. Who did Guillermo Jones beat to pick up his portion? Firat Arslan? Hardly a world beater. At least Cunningham and Adamek have done something credible in the division.

    It doesn't matter what your opinion is it's for a world title end of story.

    It's not as prestigous as the WBC, WBA, IBF or The Ring but the WBO is a recognised world title in world boxing and has been for years.

    Come on Enzo!

    Macca is too clever for banks. Banks will follow the Northern Rock and Bradford & Bingley and only government intervention can help him from getting beat.

    I consider the following to be the best fighters, in their respective divisions......

    Klitschko (IBF/WBO)
    Cunningham (IBF)
    Calzaghe (None)
    Kessler (WBA)
    Abraham (IBF)
    De La Hoya (None)
    Margarito (WBA)
    Hatton (None)
    Marquez (None)
    No idea @ 130
    John (WBA)
    Vasquez (WBC)
    Hasegawa (WBC)
    Darchinyan (WBC/WBA/IBF)
    Donaire (IBF)
    Calderon (WBO)
    Gonzalez (WBA)

    I used Boxrec for minimum weight, but a general theme currently is that the IBF have more of the best fighters in their division.

    Now you could flip that and decide which alphabet has the weakest champ in each division......

    Berto (WBC)

    You dont really believe all that 'most prestigious title' brainwashing bull**** do you?:patsch
    I consider it the most corrupt of a bad lot.Its a superstar organisation,that only really truly cares about the Oscars,Mayweathers,Klitschkos and other big names.
    I hate the WBC for that..... only concerned,in the main,for looking after the big boys.
    Twats.

    A statement by Klitschko really made me laugh......

    'It showed a great faith (on behalf of the WBC) to make me Emeritus Champion, especially having been retired so long'

    Bollocks.

    More like the WBC realised that the only way anyone would take more than a passing interest in a heavyweight WBC fight was if Vitali Klitschko was in it. As sanctioning fees are determined by the purse that is earned by both men, Mr Sulaiman could afford that brand new Roller he wanted.

    Rocchigiani should have let it go to the wall.
