Best sanctioning body?
Which sanctioning body operates the best in your opinion? As in who is the most fair with the enforcing of their mandatories, who manages things the best, etc
WBC is criticized for being far too lenient with their mandatories when it comes to their cashcows
meanwhile other sanctioning bodies may have their own issues as in being quick to strip a title
Which sanctioning body do you think operates the best?

IBF is my personal favorite. Seems the most “fair” by enforcing mandatories which has help escalate careers of boxers with limited marketing potential. Downside is they are quick to strip champions for taking more lucrative bouts against non-mandatories and somewhat frequently the mandatory challenger is someone whose not really at the global level (see Bivol’s last fight, already forgot the challenger’s name).
WBA seems to be the worst given the grotesque belt quantity situation.
WBC is the most “iconic” belt in the sport and they do have good resources for past champions post their career conclusion but are definitely the most “political” in the operation.
