However, in the real world the cancerous sanctioning bodies do nothing but harm to our great sport. Timothy Bradely recently unified the WBC and WBO titles. The Result: the WBC stripped him of their paper titles within 10 days of the fight.


Also, to be accurate in your photo's of all the titles, you should show 3 pictures of the WBA title, as they now recognize 3 champions per division.

Seriously though, we don't need the alphabet gangs. The Ring Magazine keeps track of the lineal champions, so that is all that is important.
ring magazine itself has lost a bit of credibility with it's rankings as of late
Just pick any alphabet gang, at any weight class; compare it to the Ring's rankings, and you try and find rankings that are better.

You wont.

The Ring is not perfect, but it is clearly the best.
i'd side with boxing news rankings actually
