    The Ring belt is more important than the alphabelt belts.

      ONly a champ at 168
      The ring belt means nothing really, just a magazine toy, IMO he lost the fight against B-hop. He beat Eubank Clearly to win the 168 belt but really that split discision win ova b-hop for his ring belt is really nothing. if he wins a belt in a sanction( WBC,WBO etc..) then he will be a champ at 175
      For now IMO just a legit champ at 168.

        the ring belt is less important than the alphabelt belts. you have no mandatory defenses and never have to face a true threat, much less a live body in your own division. prime examples of abusers:

        hopkins (and im a big hopkins fan. dont get me wrong, but the guy never faced a light heavyweight after tarver for 2 years and held that ring title hostage).

        casamayor- should have lost to jose armando santa cruz. didnt give cambell a rematch even though he is clearly the best challenger. at least he decided to fight jmm instead of juan diaz- boy would that have been unjust to campbell if he had fought the baby bull.

        floyd- well... i think we all know this story.

          He holds the Ring belt for the two divisions so he is. The only one that could even be questionable is LHW but he beat the man there so he is.

            If Joe is a 2-division champ, the Pacman should be considered a 5-division champ for winning the lineal featherweight championship from MAB in 2003.

              I think he is, he held the Ring belt at 168 and holds it at 175 so he's the man at both weights.

                  Yeah but people are practically handed alphabet titles. Look at Andre Berto holding the WBC WW belt.... yeah.
