When you strip the first unified welterweight champion in forever who won the title in the ring ... and announce you're going to strip the first Unified heavyweight champion in 20+ years as soon as he wins all the belts ... in a span of a few weeks ... What do you expect? Sanctioning bodies are there to rate fighters. They're supposed to recognize the champion in the division and his top challengers. Not strip unified champs the moment they win belts because they have rules. If the IBF had ANY track record AT ALL of stripping a champ for someone who was far more deserving ... that would be one thing. But they're stripping Hall of Famers in favor of their crappy top contenders, most of whom haven't even been able to manage to win the vacant belt after the WBA strips the Hall of Famer.
I Be Fooked vs We Be Crooks but yea IBF is better by miles. WBC protecting their champs against competition and allowing them special cherry picking status is disgraceful.
Quasi related. This content is protected But they all suck. The WBA has long been the worst of the bunch. But the other 3 ain't far behind. They're all hopelessly corrupt.
