    Nobody, absolutely nobody cares about the IBO belt outside of Australia.

    Id rather have 2 top 10 MW's fight for a belt. Rather than have Abraham win a vacant belt against a top 15 Middleweight, or top 20? And Look whos fighting for the new vacant IBF belt in Germany. Two guys outside the top 10 in the division. :patsch:lol:

    The IBO is a reasonable belt although not a top flight world title.

    I just hate how the IBO has all these vacant title fights, they are kinda meaningless. Mundine v Geale was against two legit top 10 middleweights, with a current champion in place.

    The value of the belt is determined by the calibre of the fighters in the ring fighting for the belt.

    Therefore imo as MiracleMan aludes to, the IBO Mundine - Geale fight is arguably more meaningful than the Sylvester - Lorenzo fight for the IBF title, which can pose the argument that the IBO champion is ranked above the IBF champion in the middleweight division.

    This man Joy Ali won't rest til he takes on and beats Anthony Mundine:

    "I will show what I will do when I take on Mundine later this year," Ali said. "I'm very confident that after this fight I will have another warm-up fight before I take on Mundine."

    Ali's listed as an orthodox fighter but must be a switch-hitter from his stance in the picture - potentially a very dangerous opponent.

    Yeh the bloke is notorious for throwing fighters names out there when he hasn't even contacted them. They had that in the Fiji times.

    Phil, can you share with us who Mundines next opponent will be? Or give us some hints, a bunch of names?
