The organizations could care less about unbiased and proper rankings. It is all about making them money.
There are guys that have won belts that didn't face a guy that anyone on here would have ranked in the top 15 of that division.
WBO has some beltholders that are very good fighters. Guys I like to watch fight. Cleverly, Huck, Burns, Donaire, Villoria, etc.... All very good fighters. All clearly top 10 fighters in their division.
But the belt the have doesn't mean much. Why? The WBO is a joke. They once ranked a dead guy. A dead guy. Not only ranked him, but moved him up the rankings, all the while 6 feet under!!!!!
But we are supposed to believe the WBO belt means something. If an organization of any type (government, business, educational institution) acted like the WBO and other organizations, then people would completely ignore them.
But these organizations will name 3 champs in the same division, or rank a dead guy, or have rankings where guys are ranked in the top 5, but no unbiased fan or boxing writer would have that guy in the top 20 of the division, and people don't ignore them.
It makes no sense.
