Calling out the WBA

[Ossyrules]

I'm surprised people aren't praising the IBF considering they do things boxing fans actually like. Mandating their mandatories and having a rehydration clause. They get too tied up in their own rules and usually have horrible rankings, though.

IBF are some way the best out of the lot imo

It's one of the most debated topics in boxing in recent years.... which of the governing bodies is the worst.

They are all complete shysters for a variety of reasons but the WBA has topped my shit list for quite some time because of this multi-belt debacle.

There has to be something that can be done to stop them. But who? Who governs the world governing bodies?

The WBA said their goal was to have one WBA champion per division. They have a long way to go, especially with the heavyweight division.

Utter nonsense considering they are trying to get fights for vacant titles to unify.

It's impossible to govern them. It's like asking Monsatan to stop poisoning our dirt. Some have their HQ's in opscure countries just to make them even more untouchable.

They still have Patrick Nielsen as number on at super middleweight after he was knocked out by John Ryder.

Their latest rankings were published 2 weeks after that fight.

They have significantly cut it down. Better they do what they are at heavy then to force Joshua to fight oquendo.

They were but looks that they are regretting that. This is a list of titles that the WBA are adding despite a champion already existing in that division.

Cuellar vs Davis at 130
Soro vs Vera at 154
Arsen vs Merhy at 200
Canizalez vs Reiya at 108
Oquendo vs Charr at heavyweight
