Recently I've come to my own conclusion on the belt situation:
NONE OF THEM MATTER
the Ring was IMO the best for a while, and it's still the most unbiased ranking system, I think Corrie Sanders is really the 1 big mistake that the Ring rankings system made, but keep in mind that Wladimir was "The Next Big Thing" and Corrie's W looked really good at the time, a #3 ranking maybe was too high but not exactly criminal....
also remember that Sanders BOUGHT his WBC #2 ranking to get the Vitali fight, he dumped the WBO belt, went to the WBC convention, made some "donations" and automatically became the #2 contender....
what was the question again???
