So, I'm on a bit of a quest. I'm trying to rid myself of the alphabet soup going on in boxing currently and want to recognize one true World Champion in each division. I've narrowed my choices down to the WBC championship and The Ring championship mainly because they tend to be the two most respected titles a boxer can hold. The WBC title goes back to the early 60's and has a great history behind it (despite WBC corruption claims) and The Ring has been recognized since the early 20's which makes it the oldest (or one of) boxing titles in existence.
I've ruled out the WBA due to its abundance of ridiculous titles they promote, it's watered their whole organization down, and I ruled out the IBF and WBO due to the fact that they're titles are newer and nobody seems to care about them. As for those championships I've decided not to recognize them at all, but the classic red, white and gold Ring belt and the classic green WBC belts are worth it and while I may choose to recognize both, I'd like to place one above the other. So which should get the higher recognition....? Let's see some votes!
