Pac-SSM for WW Lineal Title

[IronDanHamza]

There are currently only two ways that a boxer can win The Ring's title: defeat the reigning champion; or win a box-off between the magazine's number-one and number-two rated contenders (or, sometimes, number-one and number-three rated)

Except, according to The Ring rules, there needs to be a reason if it isn't #1 Vs #2...

What's Shane's reason?

Ortiz is ahead of Mosley. We can put this one to bed.

Fair ratings, can't complain about that. Looks like anyone who wants the RING or Lineal crown will have to unify, as it should be.

common sense

[Larry the boss]

Larry, if Floyd does not sign any contract before May 1, Pac-Mosley will be for the Ring belt.

Floyd is the lineal Champ, true.

Ortiz is ahead of Mosley. We can put this one to bed.

That's good, now we have clarity.

Ahhh, thank God. Thank God this injustice hasn't occured.

Best news I have heard all day, Cliff.

just to keep the debate going, if pac fought ortiz, the winner still wouldn't be a true lineal champ.

Highly doubt it in this case. Floyd may or may not be yanked from the Ring ratings (that's not a given yet) but given he embarrassed Mosley, and Shane ain't won a fight in two years, it would have a credibility gap. Ring has, IMO avoided credibility problems with their belts since the Vitali Klitschko mistake.

No. Because Ortiz is #2 and an active live dog.

I agree as well. Even though it happened before.

Its so damn hard to get this title(Lineal and/or Ring). Pac-FLoyd would have settled it. i want that 5th Lineal title

an now the possibility of Pac-Ortiz is also dim with Ortiz being with GBP.

Floyd-Pac would solve that as long as one doesn't lose in the meantime. There's plenty of blame to go around there. Less blame, more opening bell. In the meantime, I'll enjoy watching Pac be entertaining IN THE RING.

Somehow


But what can you do againts a fighter who doesnt want to fight?
