    Default This may be a daft question.....

    Ok fight fans, i'm new to this board and ive got a silly question to ask.

    Out of the 4 major organisations, What title is considered the best to hold, WBC, WBA, IBF or WBO? When i say best, i mean the most prestigious.

    Cheers

    Tradionally they rank like this

    WBC
    WBA
    IBF
    WBO

    but to be honest the way the game is today none of thenm necessarily have much credit.

    Weclome to the site mate

    I would say the WBC

    1.WBC
    2.WBA
    3.IBF
    4.WBO

    But a lot of people put stock in The Ring Magazine belt now days.

    Cheers for that mate.

    It's a bit confusing with so many titles around!

    The Ring is clearly the most prestigious and difficult to attain. However, going by just alphabet gangs:

    WBC (they have the most Ring Champions out of any alphabet gang)

    IBF (IBF only get second place because of the WBA's decline)
    WBA (The WBA should be second; however, they have severely watered down their titles ever since instituting 3 titles per weight class: super, regular, interim.)

    WBO (Although WBO is the lowest of the alphabet gangs it is the quickest rising. In the 1990's HBO would not even mention it, even when it was being defended in their fight. Since the,n the WBO has gained acceptance as a 4th alphabet title.

    Yeah, I've heard more than one boxer say the WBC belt.

    Besides, who doesn't want a green belt?

    None of the alphabets are any better than the other. The fighter makes the belt.

    Ive heard boxers say the WBC is the "top" one BUT that's when they either win it, or are about to fight for it

    I treat them as guides. If someone wins a belt they have generally proven to be world class. At the very least makes them worthy of a unification match with the top man.

    The ring belt has the most definitive system. The alphabets can remove a title with no reason, the ring title must be won in the ring literally.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
