    Out of the WBA,WBC,IBF,WBO and IBO who do you respect the most? Which belt out of these 5 means the most?

    discuss

    there are a lot of pros and cons, there are wbc interim champions and Dawson had to vacate his belt in order to fight tarver (i know there are mandatory obligations). They have the champ emeritus, which isnt a terrible idea.

    the wbo seem to have questionable mandatorys and have been referred to as the Warren Boxing Organisation, also have super champs.

    The ibf forced mallignagi to vacate rather than let hatton win it. Ive heard they forced clottey to vacate to fight cotto (not sure if true). However, i havnt heard of an ibf interim champ or regular or super champ and seem to legitimately have 1 champ / division.

    The WBA seems to have turned into a complete joke with super champions, interim champions, regular champions, champions in recess

    TBH i dont know a lot about the IBO, but wlad and hatton have been carrying their belt 4 a bit

    its between ibf and wbc for me

    Hmm to be honest there all a bit ****. I don't know exactly how they all work, but IBO rankings are calculated by computer. I guess it would have to be the WBC for me.

    WBA..that was a joke..are there any? the WBA recognizes two champions at the same time...newly crowned Gamboa and the real champion Chris John. How can you expect people to take these organizations serious? they are all full of ****.

    Between WBC and IBF I have to go with IBF...the head of the WBC is probably the most corrupt of all the orgs, Mr. Sulaiman...if you need to rank high just send him a check.

    same sh*t, different a**holes.

    I don't take the time to distinguish one from another, TBH. WBA would definitely seem to be the worst... IBF had it's Lee trouble, right? WBC that lost the court case and nearly went bankrupt? No preference here.

    I think the IBO at least does rankings that includes other org's champs, but I don't really know anything about them.

    WBO and Ring title.


    WBA has become a joke. Ordinary champion? Super Champion?

    IBF "I would not want to face a mandatory against a bum within 90 days of a tough fight for nothing money"

    WBC, living on historic wins of other fighters.

    They're all **** really.
    WBC - Sulamain is bent as ****
    WBA - They've just let Amir Khan jump from being a non-top 10 135pounder to a title shot at 140 ????
    WBO - Need we say anymore about Frank warren and his obvious association with them ?
    IBF - was ok but recent goings on with forcing Clottey to vacate when their rules state that fighting a mandatory can only be avoided by fighting another recognised champ -ie- trying to unify
    IBO - Shouldn't be recognised. 4 Alphabet Titles is enough without them being recognised as the 5th

    I think the WBO is the least corrupt and les stickted with his fighters, sadly is the least recognizable title, the newest and have a few weak champions and a few of them are prospects but is gaining force with time and more quality fighters are fighting for their title like Barrera, Hoya, Calzaghe ect.
