From cruiserweight to jr flyweight these are the guys that have linear world titles, who they beat to get the title, and how they beat em. P4P who ya think is the most credible/impressive champ right now? BTW, the title winning fight is just an added side note, not the most important thing.
I know Eubank had been the recognized #1, but if my memory serves me right 168 never had a Ring champ until the two top guys who were Joe and Jeff unified in '06. Either way, Joe C's my pick cuz he's been the boss of his weight class for years, before and after he got the damn Ring belt. But one guy had a little sumthin else to say besides shit about Joe C so keep it comin.
Yea ur right Joe Calzaghe was the FIRST ring champion.

Good reference check. As I pointed out before I was just talkin about current Ring beltholders but I'm glad educated fight fans are voicing their opinion to fine tune the champ list. So we're all clear here, to hell with just Ring belts. If you're postin pick anybody you want that has a title, just back up your pick with a lil sumthin other than them just bein your favorite fighter.
Eubank had been the RING champ since Steve Collins retired or should i say the recognised number one.
So Calzaghe got it when he beat Eubank, in 97 it was shallow Jones had moved up Benn, Collins retired.

Calzaghes title reign didn't start at Lacy.
Remember Eubank, yea the british superstar, Calzaghe UD'd him.
In case you didn't know I was talkin about the Ring magazine titles they have homey. I know Calzaghe has been WBO SMW champ forever, which is why he's my pick which I forgot to add in the original post. Undefeated and the most dominant champ of his division imo.
