    I see this a lot here. And I'm not picking on VD, but it seems the "popular" thing here to pick on the WBO. So I thought I'd do a little comparison and see how the alphabet organizations stack up. Couldn't do every weight division, so I picked some of the ones with the better known fighters, and came up with the following:

    HW:
    IBF - Wlad
    WBA - Valuev (Valuev?!?!?)
    WBC - Vitali ("Just got back from my sabbatical")
    WBO - Wlad

    MW:
    IBF - Abraham
    WBA - F. Sturm (Sturm?!?!?)
    WBC - Pavlik
    WBO - Pavlik

    WW:
    IBF - Clottey
    WBA - Mosley
    WBC - Berto
    WBO - Cotto

    Jr WW:
    IBF - Urango
    WBA - Andreas Kotelnik (who?)
    WBC - Tim Bradley (who?)
    WBO - K. Holt

    FW:
    IBF - Cristobal Cruz
    WBA - Chris John
    WBC - Takahiro Aoh (who?)
    WBO - Steve Luevano

    Jr FW:
    IBF - Caballero
    WBA - Ricardo Cordova (who?)
    WBC - I. Vazquez
    WBO - Juanma

    Bantam:
    IBF - Joseph Agbeko (who?)
    WBA - Anselmo Moreno (double who?)
    WBC - Hozumi Hasegama (oh... THAT guy)
    WBO - Fernando Montiel

    Jr Bantam:
    IBF - Vic
    WBA - Vic
    WBC - Vic
    WBO - Jose Lopez (ok, so they got one wrong)

    Jr Fly:
    IBF - Brian Viloria
    WBA - Brahim Asloum (WTF?)
    WBC - Edgar Sosa
    WBO - Ivan Calderon

    So maybe it's just me... but the WBO doesn't look quite like the joke it's made out to be, right?

    Kendal Holt doesn't have the WBO belt anymore. The "who" guy has it.

    Yes, it's surreal that the WBO actually looks like the most authentic sanctioning body out there.

    Actually that should be shitty, not surreal.

    Yeah I agree with Lance. Hell I forget that their is a WBA until he brings up another thread on them or I see them announcing the champion in some fight.

    I always thought the IBF standings and rules (the 10% shrink rule) was pretty sound.

    They are all garbage. But if I had to pick the worst offender, it would have to be the WBA, with their absurd "regular" champions.

    Although the WBO is almost as bad; they created the WBO interim Junior Middleweight title for Paul Williams in the same month Sergei Dzindziruk was defending the WBO Junior Middleweight title against the WBO's own mandatory. WTF?

    They are probably all just as corrupt as eachother.

    I always say the Champ makes the belt these days, dont really matter wich one you got, you know if you deserve to be called a world champ or not,and so do we the boxing fans.

    But I'd agree with the WBA being worst of all. it's so obvious the other titles(regular,super champ) are for more money but they just don't seem to care how bad they look.

    also i think the WBO is now bradleys belt as he beat holt


    also kotelnik has a belt because frank warren somehow got a belt on gavin rees and was trying to find anyone he thought had the slightest chance of losing to rees
