WBA, WBC, IBF, etc

[HattonTheHammer]

The IBO.....You can get your own....They give them away with ringside seats at any bout that has their sancion on

They just hand 'em like souvenirs or party gifts.

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

Im agreeing with you completely, the version of the belt is nothing more than a farce and had boxing any credibility that wasnt sucked out of it through don king and his henchmen it would scrap all versions of your ibo, ibf, wbu championships and go back to the old traditional system whereby a champion was really a champion.

People didnt book up hatton-castillo on ppv because the IBO championship was at stake, people ordered it because they recognised it was to decide who was the number 1 light welterweight in the world.

Should that mean hattons IBO title made his involvement in the fight null and void substituting him for junior witter just because junior had a more respected belt??

of course not..most knowlegable boxing fans are able to decide for themselves what fights are worthy of big viewing figures etc through how good the athletes competing are and not what organisations title they hold!!
