Pathetic & Stupid by the WBO

The surprising thing is that IBF has eschewed all this nosense. IBF only has one champion, that is all. WBA started whith all the pletora of champions, and WBC & WBO followed suit. That is only a play to extract championship fees.

How things change. When I was growing up, the IBF was the least respected organization. They would almost sell a championship. Now they are the only one that has retained some integrity.

IBO looks like a serious organization, but if they emerge as a main sanctioning body the titles would be even more fragmented.

IBF is no better, they strip their "champs" basically right after they win it so that they can have somebody fighting for the title as soon as possible

IBF has a 9 month mandatory period, which leads to more title stripping.
