The Ring is ignoring its own rules when it comes to Canelo...

No they ain't. This ain't new they have done this with literally tons of fighters who have moved up or down in weight to grab a title. Most famous example was Floyd. He won the belt at 154 at catchweight of 152. But for 2 years after that he never defended the belt at 154 and fought all his fights at 147 (welterweight). But he retained his Ring Status at 154 until he finally retired. But prior to that he held rankings at both Welterweight and Jr Middleweight simultaneously. Also why would Ring vacate him when he hasn't permanently moved weight? That's the key they like most of the belt organizations allow for interim fights outside that weight class. According to their rules he has 18 months to schedule a fight and 2 years to schedule a fight with a top 5 ranked Middlweight if not then he is stripped just like what happened to Stevenson. But neither has occurred so he remains champ. They kept Floyd all the way up to the 2 years under exact same situation.
And only an idiot would say he has permanently moved weight when he made an offer to fight GGG at 160 just last year and the both sides are negotiating a fight this sept at 160. If by doesn't fight a top fighter at 160 by the end of this year he is stripped.

I would say that the Ring is stretching the eff out its Rules. Since Nov. 2015, he's fought a WW @ Jr. CaneloWeight, then @ Jr. MW, now at Jr. Cheeseburger Weight. His claim to lineage is a joke.
I wouldn't be so harsh on Canhellno if he hadn't called GGG into the Ring -- and embarrassed all us paisanos with his BS about "we Mexicans don't eff around."

Anyways, I don't really care about the Ring, or lineal, or any ABC titles. They are there so people who don't follow boxing can be told who is champ.
I have a brain and I can tell you that MW championship has been vacated by Canelo. March 18 the #1 MW (GGG) fights the #2 MW (Jacobs). The winner is THE MW champ.
Canelo is the CaneloWeight Champ.

Originally posted by kafkod View PostThat's irrelevant. The Ring's rules say that if a fighter moves to another division he loses their lineal title. Canelo moved to SWW and said "I'm not a MW"
That's about as clear cut a move as you can get. If Canelo wasn't a GBP fighter he wouldn't be the Ring MW champion right now.

Keep accepting without question or analysis whatever you're told is right, its a very nice attribute to have in children and lower-level workers.
