Hernandez only has the RING title because Huck challenged for Povetkins title.... it's really a pathetic and sly way of doing things. The policy should at least be that Huck is still contending for it up until he stays at another weight class. Which he didn't clearly (he kept the WBO belt).
I have little faith in the RING belt, it doesn't really mean anything anymore. It's pretty questionable if the holder isn't the lineal champion.
The Hernandez is the most hollow of all, well tied with te Garcia one.
How did Hernandez win the Ring Title, off of a rematch against a guy he beat, who was obviously coming off a loss with Huck being #1? Its laughable
Same with Garcia, he beat a guy coming off a loss with Peterson ranked #1
2 Ring titles with both fight being between #2 and #3 with #2 coming off a loss
I voted no because I don't agree about Hernandez. I can accept him as a reasonable choice for champion. I agree the other two are questionable.
Why not??? Would you mind elaborating???
Hernandez is questionable (not hollow), Denis Ledbedev is probably the best cruiserweight at the moment.
Danny Garcia is only slightly questionable, because he did beat the #1 at the time in Amir Khan as well as other legit fighters like Holt + Morales, but since those wins Matthysse looks like he's compiled a resume to rival the champ, so if that fight doesn't happen soon, the more questionable his championship will become.
Mikey Garcia is well earned.
Why do you feel its questionable instead of hollow for Hernandez???
For the record I did have Khan winning the fight with Peterson (113-112) but it was a close fight that he officially lost and it seemed too convenient that four days before the Khan-Garcia fight they updated their policy to conform to testing not taken/recognized by state commissions... The timing of it didn't sit well with me though the decision to change didn't bother me
Garcia??? No argument from me personally but I feel you can make one

I think Mikey Garcia's is fine. Salido was the unquestioned man in that division once Gamboa left, and Mikey whooped his ass.
I'm neutral on the Mikey Garcia situation because I can see both sides of the argument that were presented in this piece http://******.craveonline.com/blog/176717-ring-ratings-update-saldio-garcia-will-be-for-ring-featherweight-title that's why I put questionable.....
The other two are not questionable at all imo
