Title search order...editorializing?

Hi,

When doing a title search, the first to come up is the various WBC titles then WBAs, the IBFs etc

Isn't this editorializing? Isn't listing the WBC first implying they are the best or top body. Shouldn't this be alphabetical?

Also can't the Ring Magazine champs be listed here?

The Ring magazine is not a world body.

Will the Ring list BoxRec’s ratings, results or schedule?

Fair enough, i disagree but fine.

However, my main point is the listing of titles, placing the WBC first. This is editorializing. Comments?

DOES IT MATTER IF THE WBC IS FIRST?

IN MY EYES THE WBC ARE THE MOST KNOWN BODY.SO MAYBE THATS WHY AND I REGARD THEM AS THE TITLE TO HAVE BUT I SUPPOSE ITS DIFFERENT IN EACH DIVISION.

yes. it does matter from BoxRec's pespective. None of the bodies is any better. They are all equally legitimate/corrupt. BoxRec should not show a preference to any specific body

Fighters make the title so each division determines who is the most respected org at that weight.

Anyway, as a Super Middle, you should consider the WBO as the one to have at Calzaghe is the consensus #1 @168.

If the WBO or IBF or any other body was listed first you would say the same thing. There isnt a way to list all on one line....

Then you would claim that Boxrec is editorializing the ABC or whatever title would be first. LOL
