IBO The Worse cancer in all boxing

Why

 

So some sanctioning body that no one cares about is the "worst cancer in all boxing"?

OK then

 

Boxing's cancer is CORRUPTION!!! Its rampant from the State Commissions down Needs an International Commission consisting of HONEST Men who love the sport

 

To call the IBO cancer could not be further from the truth it is the least corrupt of all the sanction bodies in fact all the rules are fair and the one people should get behind.

 

You are kidding right, you do see what's been happening down in Australia with Danny Green and Daniel Geale and co right?

Phil Austin gives every Tom, **** and Harry an IBO ranking and shot at the title

 

No he does'nt. The rankings are produced by boxrec with the champions of the WBA WBC WBO and IBF taken out.

 

how can you be a fan of a sanctioning body? Makes no sense.

 

Paul Briggs????

Hadn't fought in 3.5yrs after being retired due to a neurological problem, gets a ranking by the IBO at a weight he has never fought at and a crack at Danny Greens IBO cruiserweight title...... care to challenge that mate?

 

John, John, John.

Go and eat your crisps, John.

 

The ibo?

 

This is like saying Mark Bellhorn was the all-time biggest cancer in the Red Sox lineup. :?

Or that Chauncey Welliver is the GOAT malignant tumor on the HW division.

Or that Moloch was the most nefarious villain in the 80's 'present day' setting of The Watchmen. (although in fairness he was, biologically at least, essentially one giant cancer-cell at that stage)

There is a threshold of irrelevancy below which you can't be all that bad, no?

 

Boxrec did not produce the ratings then. IWBR was doing them. It was a calamity of a decision to allow Paul Briggs I agree. Neither Ed Levine or myself had any idea that Paul Briggs had neurological problems. Whilst he was inactive he was a good fighter in his prime and comebacking fighters get a provisional ranking when they announce their intention to fight. Paul Briggs had a ranking of 49 so was eligilble to contest with Danny Green. Yes I agree did the IBO a lot of harm, but it wasn't corrupt as it was within the rules. The Briggs affair prompted the tightning of the compliance rules.
