If Lucian Bute is not the IBF Champ, then neither was Lacy and neither was Joe!

    That wasn't the issue here anyway. I thought you were talking about peoples perception of who the IBF "champ" is at 168 not who necessarily the best fighter was.

    Start a poll and you'll soon find out how many people think Bute is not the "real" IBF Champ, because "Joe was stripped unnecessarily and since he didn't lose the belt in the ring, he is still the real Champ".

    i think I mis read you're post a little, i thought you were implying the patronisation was between he and I somehow. After re-reading, I realize that wasnt the intent, so my bad.

    Thank the MIS-MANGEMENT of Boxing for the convoluted and absurd "championship' picture.:good I prefer the term titlelist to "Champion" as it helps avoid confusion when there actually exist's a REAL CHAMPION which is undoubtedly joe calzaghe.

    To the IBF Bute is "Champion", to the real world, he's a titlelist. We should be thankful that at least the IBF still currently only recognises one "champion" still:lol:

    I dont think they mean the "real" IBF champ though. Joe is the champ regardless of what the IBF say. Theres a fundamental difference that I can't believe is still being debated.

    Surprisingly many still argue that Joe is the Unified Champ and real IBF Champ. So why do I give a damn? Because one thing is to love Joe and think he is the very best, as indeed he is, and another thing is to let your love for Joe make a fool of you.

    Enough about this topic, for now.

    Can't believe I've been drawn into this again. For the last time I dont care what the WBC/WBA/IBF/WBO say. The true champ is readily identifiable in each division & thats all that matters.

    I really thought people were letting go of the bloody alphabets.:roll:
