    i always thought that an international title, or inter-continental title, gave a top 15 ranking to the winner.

    seems its not the case.

    what ranking does it give ?

    in general it does but its up to the organisation whether they rank them or not.

    the WBC, IBF, WBO, WBA have various regional and minor belts that give fighters a ranking.

    i wouldn't mind all these belts if they actually meant fighters were mandated to fight each other.

    Like the WBA regular champion and the WBA Super Champ should have to fight eachother.
