    Lewis was also the IBC 'champ' and so was Tim Puller . It hasn't been defended in 9 years. I do think the ibo is all computerized as well. Honestly, who was hailing Lewis the ibo champion as he was surrounded by the major belts other than it's president? It's an afterthought and a ride along ornament. Fans just cannot fall for everything because it's shiny . We get to decide that. Antonio Tarver was some ibo 2 division champ, did anyone really care other than Tarver pitching for them? Belts like this were once called stepping stones. Temp tags on the road to bigger things. Major stars don't need them. James Toney possibly held more now defunct alphabet trinkets than he held 'major' trinkets, it reads like a Chinese menu of alphabet soup groups no one took serious.
