    I thought the WBO was recognised in the USA, many south american countries, Asia and many EU countries.

    Depends how you define recognised. The major American networks generally refrain from mentioning it.

    Yes but do the various state governing bodies recognise it ?

    In the same sense that they recognise the IBO

    They recognise the IBO ... NO ?

    Did they not recognise it when Bhops and Tarver faced each other ?

    Hopkins Tarver was for the IBO title. Lewis was IBO champion for his last few fights and Klitschko is IBO champion now.

    Apparently Trinidad wont fight below 170lbs so i cant see that coming off as i reckon Pavlik will want to cement his place at 160 before going up again.

    I think the Taylor rematch was already in the contract at 166 before the 1st fight even happened but i may be wrong.

    As great as Trinidad was, he is a shadow of himself and is only fighting for £££.

    I actually hate these catchweight fights and they seem to be becoming more common. If you cant make the weight then move up to the next division.

    There is already enough weight classes as it is without needing catchweight fights.
