Question: Why did The Ring stop reconizing champs between 93-2001/2?

[warp1432]

I've always wondered why they stopped giving out their belt in 93. Anyone have an answer?

[Kball15]

They were afraid Mike Tyson would capture all of them

[BrooklynBomber]

because these fighters were ****ing ****.

Champions when The Ring stopped recognizing them:

Heavyweight - Rid**** Bowe
Cruiser - Vacated
Light Heavy - Vacated
Super middle - None
Middleweight - Sambu Kalmbu (Then stopped publication for 7 months)
Jr. Middleweight - Vacated? (Hearns had it till 86)
Welterweight - Marlon Starling (Or vacated?)
Jr. Welter - vacated
Lightweight- Pernell Whitaker
Jr. Lightweight - Brian Mitchell
Featherweight - Antonio Esparagora
Junior Feather: Vacated
Bantam - Vacated
Junior Bantam: None
Flyweight: Yong Kim kam
Jr. Fly - none
Straweight - none

I don't know what happened. Stopping a title because your champions are **** seems weird to me. Especially after the history of The Ring.
