Alphabet time again! Wich alphabet org, do you take the MOST serious? Last poll (about ½ a year ago) I asked the same question, and this was the result.

The WBA had launched A-Force Harrison out of nothing to #13 HW when there was talk about his fight with Haye, but they have been quite neat for their doing lately (don't forget the start of the year though).
WBC.....Ali, Roberto Duran, and all the past greats of the 60's held this belt until the WBA came along....IMO they are the most important and they hold lineage to whom the real champion is and has since the end of the IBC and the Mob ruled NBA champs
WBC WBA IBF Are the only once I really take seriously. WBO is fine but at this point it's evolving from it's fringe belt status.
