    The orgs became or were under the WBC and WBA. The governing orgs. Its like saying Cassius Clay and Muhammad Ali are different entities. You are being ridiculous.

    There is a huge difference between the NBA and WBA, and the WBC was the work of Parnassus. The NBA did not even start until 1921, boxing first champion was in 1719...

    I think you should stopping reading Wikipedia and start investing in some boxing books, as you seem to have little understanding of this aspect of boxing history; and you are not prepared to listen to me, which although not always a bad thing, is a little naive in this instance....

    I suggest The Boxing Register as the first port of call, it has an excellent article on the history of boxing organizations (pages 48 to 51)

    I also suggest buying some old Ring's or Boxing Illustrated's and perhaps if you are British, Boxing News, there you will get a feel in the ratings for who was and was not a champion, and what organizations they represented, I think you would be suprised with the results.;)

    TBooze your arguments are ridiculous:
    - lineage doesn't exist
    - IBF has a say in lineage
    - WBA doesn't come from NBA
    - lineage is like dna

    Through this all you manager NOT to make a clear argument. Bravo.

    You are now try to lose people in history so that you may appear right.

    You are also trying to make a power play by insulting my intelligence and going deeper into history.

    Wikipedia has nothing to do with it. I gave sources to the wbc and wba website.

    The orgs that dictated lineage evolved into the WBC and WBA. Period.

    Well to finish, I might as well steal a line or two...

    Who's got two thumbs and don't give a damn anymore?

    That's right; TBooze :thumbsup

    Read up on the subject my friend, and if you further the debate with some well thought out points, I will comment;)
