Not saying there was a recognized champion with more attention than those guys had at the time, but you still can't have it both ways. If you want to argue lineal, be my guest. But be consistent. Stick with just lineal. Why are you recognizing bogus belts instead of just lineal? Seems very convenient to just count both to artificially inflate the number.Comment

Not anymore. Oscar de la Hoya bought the title and changed all the rules. It's no longer considered the definitive anything.Comment

On the biggest sites in the US and the UK, in terms of mainstream media, WBC/WBA/IBF/WBO are all listed. Ring is not listed. Neither is lineal. There's nothing to back up what you're saying.
One of the four recognized world champions if he wanted to be a recognized world champion.Who should manny have fought to be champ at 126 if not Barrera?Comment

Why would somebody carry lineal rankings? There is only one guy that’s lineal.On the biggest sites in the US and the UK, in terms of mainstream media, WBC/WBA/IBF/WBO are all listed. Ring is not listed. Neither is lineal. There's nothing to back up what you're saying.

Ring is listed at ring, and has been the benchmark for 100 years, as the sanctioning body titles have lost all credibility.
Who beat naz after he won all the titles, and morales after he won wbc titles?Comment

Espn references the ring title often, the ring rankings are at the ring.
Espn own writers don’t consider the sanctioning bodies as accurate reflection of the rankings. Showtime and hbo both are quick to point out lineal and ring champs.
But it’s cool dude, you obviously are a sanctioning body fanboy by your username
Keep thinking those belts are credible, it’s what the promoters bank on to sell crap matchups and avoid the good ones.Comment

Not talking about rankings. I'm talking about champions. The major outlets list the WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO champions. They don't list the Ring champions. Ring champions are not recognized as legitimate world champions.
Obviously Ring is listed at Ring! IBA is listed at IBA, does that make it a world title?
If you want to argue in favor of lineal titles, I'm fine with that. Ignore the alphabelts. But if you ignore the alphabelts, how is Pac an 8 division champ?Comment

ESPN's endorsement of Ring ended after the corruption was exposed and they began endorsing TBRB.Espn references the ring title often, the ring rankings are at the ring.

Showtime never endorses the Ring title. HBO does sometimes because HBO's lead promoter owns Ring.
I'm not a fanboy. I'm not a fan. I'm telling you the business reality. The sport revolves around the WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO whether we like it or not. I would love for all of them to go out of business, but what I prefer, and what actually is, are two different things.Comment
