    why do they keep saying Guerrero is a 6 time champion? he won 3 interim titles and was a 2 time champ at 126,and 1 time champ at 130

    It looks that way. I don't personally count them as actual championships, but if you ask me its just an attempt to sell the fight to casual fans who aren't sure who RG is and want to make it look as though this is a tough test that Floyd might fail in.

    Nope, not in my book.

    And actually the 4 belts not anymore either. What I really count are the Ring championships.

    So the only real champs are:
    Rigo, B-Hop, Wlad, Martinez, Canelo, Garcia, M. Garcia, Ward and Yeagashi :yep

    No, but you fight for the interim when the champion cant fight.


    In theory they should work, but in practice seldom do.

    Diaz - Beaten
    Salido - Managed to win one round and had the **** beaten out of him.
    Yordan - Quit on a small cut (was being outboxed up until then)
    Casamayor - Was dropped but managed to get a close nod.
    Katsidis - looked great but Katsidis is a punching bag.
    Aydin - Got the nod but looked average,slow and sluggish.
    Berto - A horrible performance full of holding and hitting,rabbit punching and every other illegal tactic in the book,Berto was awful aswell.

    There's a list of Guerrero fights I have seen,will I change my opinion on him?

    Hell no!!

    Does "The Ring" belt now count as a World Title?
