I didn't know that the Ring's Jr.Lightweight belt was vacant...what's the story on that? One would think the no-brain champ would be Barrera after his win over Morales...

I guess it will be on the line for either Barrera-Morales IV or Barrera-Pacquiao II...

....Interesting how both polls rank Mayweather behind Zoo. Hell ring has him behind Harris and Gatti too.

[cupcrazy01]

That's pretty easy to understand for me. He's only beaten Chop Chop and freakin' Bruseles at 147 so how could he be ranked ahead of Gatti or Harris, who are more established at 147, and much less Tsyzu, by far and away the real champ of the division?

I'd take Harris and Tszyu over Mayweather, but PBF should handle Gatti easily as long as he doesn't get caught or loses his head and decides to trade. I think that's Gatti's best option, irritate PBF with rough tactics enough to anger him and urge him to get into the pocket.

147 is loaded right now; I'd love to see Harris-Cotto, PBF-Tszyu, PBF-Cotto, Harris-Tszyu, Gatti-Harris, not to mention Witter against all those guys...

Oh and how could I forget Tsyzu-Cotto...

There was a bit of confusion I think with guys changing weights and fighting in different classes than where they were officially listed. It's still a strange situation now...Pacquiao has a belt, while Morales doesn't.

The thing is I don't think that The Ring's got formal rules for sitautions like when Paq moved up to fight Morales. I know they said it wasn't a title fight but I don't know if Ring was part of that discussion or not, since their belts are handed out according to hard and fast rules as opposed to sanctioning body politics.

In a few months when Tito fights Winky it will be the same situation. Will Tito gets Winky's Ring belt if he wins? Probably not, I guess .

PAC got his RING belt when he beat MAB, if TITO beats Winky, he should get his belt, thats how i thought ring gets their champ, by beating the current champ ...
