Name the Ring champions in all of the divisions for me if you don't mind.The champions are still holding on to the belts because it still gives them leeway in negotiating and gets them more of a cut of the purse. But when you have The Ring belt, it means you are the true champion of your division.
They've help establish for casual fans:
-The true champion of that division
-Easy to get rankings that actually explains the changes in them
That's a very big boost for people. ESPN uses their rankings too so they have gotten somewhere. Most media recognizes them.Comment

You said they were convoluted so I helped straighten them out.
Off the top of my head?Name the Ring champions in all of the divisions for me if you don't mind.
108-Calderon
122-Vasquez
135-Casamayor
140-Hatton
160-Pavlik
168-Calzaghe
175-Calzaghe
130, 147, and Crusierweight were there until a couple months ago when Pacquiao, Floyd, and Haye vacated. There are vacant belts, but that means the best in the division have to fight each other to do so.
edit: Oh and yeah, The Ring recognizes all 17 divisions now.Comment

This is not true in all cases. Many a champion has been paid less than the challenger because it comes down to who the draw is also. There are many reasons why fighters want to hold on to their title/s.Comment

your the only one bringing up margarito in this thread
No one included myself has said anything about margarito. I don't think you have even criticized him in this thread so why do you keep bringing him up?

Unlike the wbc the ring will not just give any two guys a shot at their belt. That's why the ring is still vacant and will be challenged for by the number one and two guys in the division. On the other hand the wbc's new champ is bertoYou said they were convoluted so I helped straighten them out.
