*The '''World Boxing Organization''' (WBO) was established in 1988.
*'''Trivia:''' The WBO twice moved [[Darrin Morris]] up in its super middleweight rankings, despite the fact that the fighter was dead. Morris, who died from HIV-related meningitis in October 2000, was #7 at the time of his death and #5 when the error was discovered. [http://assets.espn.go.com/boxing/columns/graham/1097210.html]
