    Yes, it's surreal that the WBO actually looks like the most authentic sanctioning body out there.

    Actually that should be shitty, not surreal.

    Yeah I agree with Lance. Hell I forget that their is a WBA until he brings up another thread on them or I see them announcing the champion in some fight.

    I always thought the IBF standings and rules (the 10% shrink rule) was pretty sound.

    I also like the IBF. Its probably the least corrupt. WBA is garbage now, which is sad because it used to be prestigious.

    IBF is quick to strip anyone of their title so that they can constantly have someone fighting for their strap, and making them a couple bucks every time

    heaven forbid wanting a fighter to fight more than once a year.

    Just as corrupt as the rest, see Zab Judahs career for this one.
    They've fed him the IBF strap as many times as possible.

    The worst one being after he lost to Baldomir they gave back the strap to Zab because Baldomir didn't want to share a piece of the pie with them.

    Well Bob Lee (Former IBF President and Founder) did/is doing time for corruption connected to the organization, so yes they are kind of tainted..

    They are all money making machines, with too much power and influence; and history tells us, time and again, what happens when human beings have too much power......
