Which Boxing body has the stupidist rules?

[SEANIE]

The WBC are trying to stop fathers going in their sons corners. What would Jose Sewer rat do if Julio Cesar Chaver wanted to go in his sons corner?

Then there's the WBC accidental cut rule thaty cost Llyod honeygan his title against Vaca. Honeygan lost a point because Vaca got cut by an accidental head clash. And that cost him his title.

The IBF wouldnt let Vaca have there belt after he beat Honeygan, but after Honeygan knocked him out in the rematch they let him box for the IBF title in his next fight.

The three knock down rule is stupid. Pacman knocked Marquez down three times in the 1st round, yet the bout ended up a draw. If the 3 knockdown rule was in effect Marquez would have suffered a 1st round knock out.

The IBF also had a habit of leaving the no 1 slot vacant.

To be fair if Sulliman let JCC SR , go into JCC JR corner during fights , then Jose would have to go as well , as he is stuck up to his spuds inside JCC SR.

the general R&R of governing bodies are sound in principle. It's their application you have to look at.

The wba's SUPER champion rules has got to be one of the stupidest rules in any sport.


How can you have 2 world champs in the same division by the same organisation.














The answer is of course it makes the wba more money.

Though most of them are baffling, I think the WBC would rank as the leader of the gang of stupid.
The accidental headbutt rule of course, and then theres open scoring. I mean, if a guy is getting thoroughly beaten on points and is reminded of the fact, why wouldn't he just give up? Look at Samuel Peter against Klitschko. And the winning fighter could just coast which takes the whole zip out of a fight. And then there's the Diamond belt!!!

With the rest of them, Super champions are stupid, as are interims. Hell there's just too many belts. But we all know that! And their rankings are all stupid beyond belief!

In retrospect there is a rule entitled abbreviated as,"K.I.S.S." It simply means keep it simple stupid. The jerks that are so called leaders forget that we pay for the tickets and we don't want interim champions or arguments about fathers and sons being in corners. We want to see well prepared fighters doing what they strive to be, champions in the making. Screw these alphabet creeps. Who died and made them boss over us, the fight public? They are all stupid with their B.S. rules from the W.B.C to the W.B.Bogus. (W.B.O.)

They have all had stupid and corrupt pasts. Period.
Boxing needs a single governing body if it ever wants to work its way back into mainstream culture. We can always dream
