Hatton is new IBO B#@%!

[CutMeMick]

It will never ever happen but gimme the old school (One belt) anyday
Who changed the thread title from BITCH to B@*%$?
No Need

I changed it Smash, as I don't think it's proper for it to be on the main board like that.

That an the fact that the last thing we need is to have Warren and his people pay you a visit....
LOL!!!!

Nah! mate just don't like the way it appears....
The other night we modified a thread that Danny_G did that had the word "biatches" on the title.... So it's nothing against you...

Hope you understand Smash, you know you're my boy!!!

Dont act as if therre is suddenly some sanctioning body which has the publics interest in mind and cares about their fighters... the IBO are simply making a statement like this so maybe more than 12 people will know they exist, if they were ever to reach the same level as the main 4 bodies they would in turn become no different. You can't screw people over and enforce dubious mandatories when you may as well not even exist and dont have the power.

I think Hattons done the right thing, or should i say HBO has done the right thing they want action from Ricky an after the last outing he owes them a bit. Don't get me wrong I love Ricky but the last five rounds V Urangutan can't have bolstered his PPV marketability an haven't HBO given him a five fight deal or was it three. Also this will be his last fight of the deal he signed with Dennis Hobson i think, best thing he could do sign with GBPromotions and keep in fuckin shape between fights. COME ON RICKY!!

My favourite part of the article was regarding how the IBO select their top 10 contenders as opposed to the other belt organisations.

The IBO is the only sanctioning body - including the de facto ‘championship’ of New York boxing magazine the Ring - to have fully automated (‘computerised’) rankings which are based on fighter results and nothing else

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the method that boxrec use to calculate their rankings?

No wander they say they don't enforce mandatories, any ranking system based on the boxrec method would produce even worse mandatories than the IBF!

Why is Ricky getting an excuse? Come on..when Margarito was leaving his WBO belt wasnt everyone saying he was ducking his mandatory defense against Paul Williams? Ricky Hatton dumps every belt he gets and its "He doesnt need a belt he beat Kostya Tszyu he's really undisputed' How long as you gonna milk that

Hatton's ducking N'dou?

was looking at their rankings now, and they look pretty spot on! apart from miranda in MW i would say the rest (that i know) all all around about where they should be.

Looks pretty much spot on to me
Froch is looking in a v healthy position at Super Middleweight and needs to up his fight rate as he'll overtake Jeff Lacy and his KO record if he does

Not really sure how i feel about this at present?

the IBO are funny they have a great computerised unbiased ratings structure. Then let there champions box anyone they want. Some what defeats the object.
