    the Pac - Margarito fiasco by the wbc was quite pathetic and actually took credibility away from the fight rather than add to it..

    You can actually fill 10 pages in this thread easy if you put every ****ing bull**** WBC is doing. Just to get started, giving PAC the JMW Belt against Margo. WTF? Really? What have Margo done to deserve a crack at the belt. Cañelo? Seriously?

    WBC declaring Margarito as the 154lb champion was a slap in the face to the sport of boxing.

    The WBC rankings are disgrace to the sport as well.

    WBC is a ****** organization.

    gamboa getting stripped of all his titles, mexicans getting belts from the wbc and their easy opponents magically ranking in the top 10 after the fight being announced.
    Bradley losing his belt, wba with their regular and super champions.

    To be fair, one sanctioning body didn't recognize a 168 pound division if I remember correctly.
