This is more credible.
The ring belt is a PIECE OF TRASH now.
As long as one of the promoters or other institutions who has a vested interest in boxing holds ownership of the Ring magazine.. the Ring belt has less value than the **** my dog spews every evening.Comment

i personally dont think that would make Margo the best WW even if he gets the belt. in MY own personal opinion, as long as Paul Williams is racking up wins against top 10 welters division and Margo doesnt avenge his loss to him, he wont be the best. just the way I feel and i know ima get **** for it.Comment

No it won't be for the belt. A vacant belt may only be awarded in a championship fight between the number one and number two or in some cases the number one and the number three. In this situation if the rankings do not change then as Cotto had already beaten the number two in Mosley then a fight between Cotto and Williams (number three) would be for the Ring belt.
Cotto did beat the current number two but there was a champion at the time.
The Ring's editorial policies have not changed since being bought out by Golden Boy. As for the Casamayor incident the Ring awarded their belt to the official winner of the fight regardless of how controversial the result was. I personally can't believe that anybody could think that a championship should be awarded based on who the sanctioning body thought should have won. It's just not a good idea. Those ****ers can't even keep honest rankings!Comment

That ring belt means alot more than any sanctioning body, and no, the fans dont know who the best welterweights are, boxing fans do, but the average fan /casual fan doesnt have a ****ing clue unless they examine the rankings up and down. The Rings policy on who can fight for their belt has been the same since in inception practically, and they take no sanctioning fees along with it, i have no idea why you are ripping them like they are some greedy sanctioning body.dont matter. the fans know who the best will be anyway. if yall want to go a long with a label provided by an tainted organization, then go for it. that belt is really just used as a bargaining chip for fighters to get more money which doesnt really benefit fans. i rather be proud of who my fighter beats than what belt my fighter gets. im not all about meaningless stats like ol'boy Flawless over here that sounds like you're run of the mill Lil Wayne fan talkin bout record sales and ****. right Flaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawless?Comment
