i don't mind the IBO to much, but tbh tho the last thing boxing needs is another belt.
most of these organizations are terrible. It would have been nice to have one champion who holds a belt but not a belt by an organization, but that is fantasy to think some selfish organization would not want to exploit people for money. Actually the way it was before when you had a WBC and WBA champion, both guys sort of fought the contenders and would clean out a division like Hearns and Leonard did in the early 80s, Then they fought each other after they were sharp after fighting these contenders. So having two champions was not too bad since it made the guys better fighters building up to a unification. But later the IBF came up and it became too confusing, after the IBF the WBO came and people sort of had enough. But now it is gaining recognition.
