    The ring title goes to the linear champion in the division, its easily the most respected of any the belts these days and its the one the fighters want to fight for.

    The linear championship at 175 has went from Jones, to Tarver, to Johnson, Back to Tarver, then to Hopkins and now to Calzaghe.
    Co-sign. The Ring Belts are the most respected. You can't win a "vacant" Ring Belt - you must beat the man that has it, or if the owner retires or is stripped the #1 ranked must beat the #2 ranked. Which is why no heavyweight fighter has the ring belt. **** the other belts.

      I have no respect for the ring after what they said about Tye Fields:

        Exactly. To be considered the man you have to beat the man......Calzaghe beat the man that beat the man that beat the man before him.

        Calzaghe is the linear champion, its not even up for debate.

          It was a typo. I spoke to them on the phone all categories were supposed to be for Tye Fields, except most protected, which goes to Klitschko.

            Yep and it's only fair. I mean, Ztolt or whatever the **** beat who exactly? Joe Calzaghe should be seen as the true champ at Light Heavyweight (and this is coming from a non-calzaghe fan, life-long b-hop fan).

              Yeah, but having Ring Magazine have such an blatant error fires me up. That is inexcusable and should've never made it to print.

                Hopkins was never undisputed light heavyweight champion, so yes, it is up for debate, because it's not true. Calzaghe is not a light heavyweight champion. Hopkins has only had the IBO light heavyweight belt which isn't a sanctioning body.

                  Four staff members of the Ring were executed for this unforgivable blunder. Next time it happens though, they wont be so lucky.

                      Monte Barrett will beat that overrated club fighter Tye Fields.
