i will admit that these sanctioning bodies have done some pretty stupid things to the sport but then again, they've also done alot of positive things. and if anyone wants to know what they are, they can look them up at these organizations websites.

jose sulaiman has done a lot of good for the safety of boxers. i read recently that the wbc intervened when then champion omar nino romero was erroneously stripped of his world title after his rematch with brian viloria, because his urine test came out positive and then later on it was proven that it was all a lie. omar nino romero did not deserve his title to be taken away.

say what you will about sulaiman but i think he has the most viable and legit organization in boxing. and until something better comes up, these organizations are all we've got!
The top boxers don't need them, as Mosley and Mayweather have proven when they both said fuck the WBA title or any title and just fought, it still was a big money maker with 1.4 million PPV buys. Of course Sulaiman came out and complain that the big fight didn't involve 1 of the shady organizations. The little no name boxers might need them to attract attention to a "world title" fight and make money, but not the big stars.

And where would boxing be without these organizations? In much better shape I would bet.
