    Is there a bigger joke organisation in world boxing than WBU ??

    Most of their titles are vacant, and the "world" titlists they recognize are mostly lowly ranked nobodies.

    WBU, WBF, IBA, IBC, IBO, IBU, GBU, UBA, UBO

    It is what it is, if you can't win the real titles... You have to wear something :conf

    I think the IBO deserve better than that grouping, they are at least trying to do things in an honest way.

    IBO has Adamek as #2 Heavyweight. They did manage to build the first emotional computer system :yep

    Boxrec is the only ranking outside the main 4 that makes sense :good

    Just for example, the WBU have a 51 year old heavyweight "Super Champion" in Andreas Sidon. Under him is heavyweight "Champion" Mark De Mori, and then follows the Klitschkos and a whole lot of guys who would cream their "champions." :lol:

    Clearly. If you take a look at their beltholders, then there is a huge gap in class between the IBO and WBU + other ABC ones. Almost all of them are solid top10 fighters, while most of those WBU guys don't even reach the top100.

    IBU? I be you?

    They should have a WTF organization. That way when someone like Andrei Fonfara becomes their "champion", people will all say "WTF was that?" and the organization will become popular just by word of mouth.:deal

    I'm starting a new sanctioning body called the IBG.

    Whoever wins one of our titles can proudly exclaim, "I be G" to all the fans in the arena.

    Only a true G will have what it takes to win the IBG championship.
