I am serious mate....Think about it...How many actual IBO fight cards can you think of?....How many where the title was the main event prize so to speak?...Other then seeing a champion who somehow just ends up withn the title as part of his collection can your really name any IBO title fights off the top of your head?....Its crazy.....I liken the title to that guy who seems to be at all the party's you attend eating food, drinking up the free booze yet no one knows who the hell he is....You know his face because he is always around but other then that nothing....Crazy
Hopkins - tarver

Hatton - Castillo..

I think they were both IBO title fights werent they? Lol Although they were both about a bit more then a title really.. that was just matchmaking.. plus technically the ibo title that say hopkins won from tarver or that hatton kept at 140.. were the lineal titles

Thing is i bet in some small city shows if you think about it there will be ibo titles at stake in main events.. S'kinda just like the same profile as usba or nabf or a state title.. Prob considered a bit bigger but sure why not..
LOL once again though...The IBO title went with the Ring Title Tarver had....He got the IBO title in his bout with Jones, No one can name where Jones picked up the title, and like I mentioned earlier why is it Tarver lost all the other belts but kept that one....You can never tell where it came from and you can never lose it....

Though Lennox Lewis held te belt as well for a long long time...Wlad has the belt at HW...someow they have Tarver as their LHW champion....(Thought he lost that to Hopkins?)...Tyen whole thing gives me a headache
