    The wbo for me was like the British title a few year back, or a Frank Warren promoted fighters title. Great fighters have fought for it but it was still cheap

    WBC. A lot of its champions and rankings are a joke.

    Wilder has been heavyweight champion for 2.5 years, Stevenson light heavy for 4 years and they haven't had to fight anyone of note.

    Plus Cotto/Canelo at middleweight was a joke as was garcia/Guerrero at welter.

    The WBC belts are hideously ugly. I don't know why so many Mexican boxers have a fetish for them.

    WBA for having too many champions, then WBC, WBO and lastly IBF.

    I have to go with WBC. As mentioned above, Wilder's been their champ for over 2 years, no mando's faced, same thing with Stevenson. They also made Briedis go through 2 eliminator fight's to finally get a crack on the belt that shouldn't have gone to Bellew in the first place.

    Honoring Bellew as their Emeritus champ is another nonsense, he only had the belt for a year or so and defended it once against a guy not even in top20. Just to put this into perspective, the only guys I know who have received this honor ar VK, Lewis, Roy Jones Jr. and Floyd. A question just must be asked... WTF?

    It's close:

    WBA cons: far too many belts, idiotic rankings and title match-ups, didn't overturn Murata-N'Dam
    pros: some (little) progress in reducing the # of belts, at least they took some action in the above robbery

    WBC cons: Wilder and Stevenson have somehow managed to face exactly zero good opponents for a while. Horrible rankings. Why is Stiverne II mandated?
    pros: they require the VADA clean boxing programme

    IBF cons: inflexible schedule leads to a lot of legitimate champions being stripped, e.g. Tyson Fury, and probably Crawford. Horrible rankings.
    pros: they try to reduce weight-cutting excess with their second weigh-in. Only organization that consistently strips their champion which he dodges the mandatory.

    WBO cons: Horrible rankings. Collusions with promotional companies suspected.
    pros: Well, you could argue that they don't do quite as much wrong as some of the others.

    So if I have to pick, IBF>WBO>WBC=WBA

    Probably the WBA have the keys to the donkmobile at the moment with all their ****ing champions.

    But it's a bit like being asked which pedophile is the most repulsive.

    WBC=WBO
    WBA is a joke
