    Mayweather stripped of RING 154-pound title!

    Finally, someone with balls who actually follow the rules they lay out! There are a few other changes as well. Visit the link to check them out.

    THE RING’s junior middleweight title, previously held by Floyd Mayweather Jr., is now vacant due to Mayweather’s lack activity in the 154-pound division.

    Mayweather won the magazine’s junior middleweight champ when he outpointed Canelo Alvarez in September 2013. However, that was the last time the pound-for-pound king fought in the 154-pound division.

    According to THE RING’s championship policy, a champion will lose his belt if he does not schedule a fight at his championship weight for 18 months (even if he fights at another weight).

    Mayweather, who still holds THE RING’s welterweight championship, has fought three times in the 147-pound division since beating Alvarez – decision victories over Marcos Maidana (twice) and Manny Pacquiao.

    About time.

    Now WBA should do the same.

    We know WBC won't, sadly.

        Does anybody still care about titles? Aren't they a dime a dozen?

          If Cotto dropped the MW title, the WBC would strip Floyd immediately so that he and Canelo would have a title to fight for.

            The alphabets should do the same. Mayweather's obviously not going to defend them, let someone else win them.

                There are fighters like Erislandy Lara and Demetrius Andrade that need belts to get any fight worth a damn. Lara would probably love to get the WBA belt, I think he is Mayweather's mandatory for it.

                    Ofcourse they do! It's most fighters dream to win a world title. Might not matter to you as a fan.
