When Is there going to be a WW Ring Championship fight???

[warp1432]

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.

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.

Good point here, but if I'm Juan Diaz and have a WBO belt and Katsidis has nothing, that one belt means me getting a 70 percent share of the purse compared to the 60 I might be getting without it. Of course the exception is going to be the draw, but most of the time the titlist gets more money because of it.

Also, it doesn't really change the fact that your original point was "The Ring belt isn't an official belt"

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?

Just don't take anything personal that I say ok. It seems personal to you when you talk to me. I'm on your side when it comes to Margs lol. Nobody is above criticism to me.

So, Cotto-Margs wasn't for the Ring WW title?

No because Williams had beaten Margarito and Mosley had a close fight with Cotto so they were ranked ahead of them. Rightfully so I might add. I think Mosley deserved to be ranked #2 at Welterweight or #3.

Ahead of Margarito anyway.

You see, terrible rankings lol. Shane lost so he should be ranked lower than Margs, Wlliams and Cotto at the time. He did not deserve a number 3 ranking.

You see, terrible rankings lol.

how would it be terrible for williams to be ranked above margarito if wililams beat him?

No. Mosley who busted up to #2 by beating Collazo was there. Then Margarito was #1 loses to Williams. Williams becomes #3, Cotto #2 based off a really impressive performance against Zab Judah/Carlos Baldomir moving up in weight, Margarito moves to 4.

Cotto beats Mosley and becomes the #1 contender. Mosley stays at 2 because of his close fight with Cotto. Williams loses to quintana. Quintana debuts at 3. Williams knocks out Quintana becomes #3 again. Quintana drops to 5. Floyd retires. Championship vacant. Need a box off of 1-2 or sometimes 3. Margarito was 4 so he wasn't even qualified.

Meanwhile the WBC and their awesome ratings rate Andre Berto at #1 and Miki Rodruiguez at #2.

That's all for tonight though man. I gotta get up early tommorrow.

The problem is Mosley staying at 2.
