Ring need to swallow their pride and bring back Nigel Collins before they lose any reputation they have left.

I cannot see anything good in going back to only recognizing only the original 8 divisions if that's what you mean.

Amateur boxing has 10 division. Using 10 or 11 division would make pro boxing alot better.

Yeah, but the belt is now devalued significantly and that's a damn shame considering the staus The Ring Magazine has (or rather should have).

As a determinant of lineage The Ring has likely played out it's role.

i agree. its sad though, this was the best barometer and the fact that in all honesty, it still kind of is, shows you the sad state of belts.

I agree, but that is a dream that will never happen.

I was more thinking of having an Editor with a clue of what to do.

Correct me if im wrong, does it say in the new rules that there is a possibilty that the belt can be awarded to the winner of lets say the number 2 rank in the division vs the number 5? Or number 1 vs number 5? If this is true then that policy sucks, and somehow got the feeling that gbp is trying to award a ring belt to someone underserving lets say canelo? Lols just saying...

[Jam Jars]

So we could have a ring champ from 2 beating 5, then 1 beats 3 but isn't awarded the title because number 2 has it.

The ring has absolutely no credibility left. It's owned by GBP which is probably one of the biggest conflicts ever in the sport ( that is if anybody gave a **** about Ring Magazine anymore). Who cares what they say or do. The once proud "Bible of Boxing" has been reduced to a rag of a magazine owned by a promoter....smh

[nycsmooth]

Ring Magazine needs 2 say out of this as they are not really current in a lot of maters...hasn't been a good rag since Randy Gordon was there 30 yrs ago...look @ some of their rankings in various divisions & u r scratching your head over it...
