Stevenson just got stripped of the Ring belt for fighting poor opposition but his last 2 opponents have been at least as good as Brook's.
Cotto was stripped of the WBC belt for not paying the extortionate sanctioning fee.
Rigondeaux was stripped of the WBO belt recently because he didn't make a defence for over a year.
But none of those necessarily deserved to be stripped compared to a certain IBF belt-holder.
Is it time the IBF stripped Brook for fighting terrible (Rod Salka level) competition for over a year?
Surely the IBF should follow in the footsteps of the Ring, WBO and WBC, do something right for once in order to remove the widely-held perception that it's a ridiculously laughable and undeniably worthless organization while being the very definition of an alphabet paper title?
Or, is it time for boxing fans to unite and consensually disregard and de-recognize the IBF as a legitimate sanctioning body in light of many years of su****ious conduct and activity?
A change must come.
