    The IBF and WBO are demonstrably better than the WBC and WBA but they are all insanely awful and having so many of them is terrible.

    The IBF, WBC and WBC are tied for the worst organization .... and the WBA is way below that.

    I wouldnt mind having replicas myself!

    I have seen myself Ossie Ocasio's WBA one when I went to visit him as a child in Puerto Rico at his house, Gabriel Ruelas' WBC one at an autograph show he did here in Arizona, and Tony Baltazar's WBO regional one at another autograph show here in Arizona in person.

    But no, no replicas owned..:(

    IBF possibly (only possibly) the best of a horrendously bad bunch. Well, maybe not the best, just the least awful.

    They used to be a somewhat respectable organization because of the mandatory 10 pound rehydration limit, but then that fell off and it's for like select fights now.

    :lol:

    IBF has the best rules, if you can’t defend your belt within a certain time, f*ck off and let someone else have a go. so many problems in boxing would be solved if the other orgs had that attitude.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say they can all **** themselves win the poll in a landslide. You simply just need to take a looK at the UFC model for a blueprint for success in modern combat sports. That organization has grown MMA by leaps and bounds compared to what the greedy sanctioning bodies of boxing have done.

    Right answer. These groups are parasites on the sport of boxing. All should be ignored, undermined and abolished.
