It's easily the best in the world, but there have been a number of WBO champs who should really have only been fighting for the commonwealth or Lonsdale belts etc.

Its easy to work out, Warren just buys the lunch! (and optional extras).

Could be, that's what I was wondering. With the WBO being a new and fairly unreputable organization years back, was it just a of win-win cashing in on the UK domestic scene? Calling someone a world champion is fairly self-fulfilling after all, when they already have a market.
