Not sure here, the only thing we know for certain is that Boots is in the lead above everyone else. Stanionis could definitely be 2 or 3, I don't think he's as low as 5 though. Norman could also be 2 or 3, I don't think Barrios is # 2 (TBRB ranking) no way.....................but then, he technically has the best win out of them all against Ugas. He's also the only one with multiple humbling losses. And do I think Barrios beats any of them? Maybe Abel, but not Stanionis or Norman. And Boots would devastate him. It's really kinda a free for all.
Im saying yes. As the Ring belt gains in prestige its going to be the one that matters. No point fighting against it. If the Ring declares this winner the champion, than by George they are the champion. Plus TBRB still has Charlo as LMW champion and I just can't get my head around that call. For me, more important than lineage is clarity.
Don't worry about the TBRB. You had the opportunity to message them and ask but didn't do. Lots of people wont class the winner as champ. WBC, WBO, TBRB. But with the ring growing in popularity and prestige it won't matter.
It matters in a sense of undisputed terms which being the champ is all about. Anyway we will just have to live with it how it goes.Unless there s a draw lol.
I like and respect what theyre doing over there, but Im not sure how relevant their rankings are in the big picture relative to the Ring rankings. But ya unfortunately this looks like the lineal status will be a bit subjective for some people. For me though Imma roll with Ring on it.
Just because the winner will be lineal wont make them undisputed. Need all the major belts to be considered undisputed.
When they did come on the scene they were seen as this new wave of guys doing it the right way and I dont think they ve ever been wrong or majorly wrong on anything though. They also appeared at a time where The Ring was getting more and more scrutiny(unlike now again) so they had good press and good people behind them. I would say ,in terms of relevance,they are up there with The Ring. Yep.unfortuantely it will cause some discussions that are unfortunate.
