[edit] Former Champions

Now there is the List of WBO world champions, I suggest we can remove the "Former champions"-chapter from this article. Does anyone disagree?Jeff5102 09:36, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The 4th sanctioning body

I'm surprised this article makes no reference to the face that the WBA, WBC and IBF are considered to be the 3 major sanctioning bodies in boxing, and the WBO has always been referred to as a 4th belt, or stepping stone belt. The true definition of undisputed champ has always been to hold WBA/WBC and IBF belts at once. In fact i'm sure this article used to say just that. I know that wikipedia entires for 'WBA' 'WBC' 'IBF' and 'Undisputed Champion' all do.
