The "Ring Title" should count as an "official title."

Read below, you may think different

Zsolt Erdei should rightfully be champ now

 

Yep, they completely messed it up as soon as they re-introduced their belt. Zero credibility.

 

No I don't think we need yet another title out there. The IBO was brought in to be the saviour back in the 80s (Remember Holmes vacated his titles to go for an IBO), but all it did was give us more "champions".

While the Ring does have some legitamacy, I don't like the idea of journalists calling the shots. Going back over half a century ago, newspapers used to have major influence on recording who won fights and I don't think the sport needs to revert to that again.

Think about it, what if Time magazine ranked tennis players, the NY post picked who would play in the soccer (or football) world cup it wouldn't add any credibility to the sport whatsover. Even though the alphabet sanctioning bodies are a joke, they still have that tiny bit of extra credibility a magazine just wouldn't be able to gain.

 

With the ring belt, you know who the best IS

 

He certainly should have been the champ, but he did go up a weight division and hasn't fought at Super Middleweight since January 2009. Therefore even if Erdei had been correctly been champion the Pascal vs Dawson fight would have created a new lineage.

Beat the Best to be the Best:bbb

 

its a **** belt why not have a national enquirer belt or a peoples magazine belt should i go on and on ,you people want to believe Pac is a 7 times champion when he's not ,he'e the catchweight champion in history because real boxing fans knows .....even MANNY KNOWS.

 

In 1976 The Ring magazine fabricated records of selected boxers, to elevate them, thereby securing them lucrative fights on the American ABC television network, as part of the United States Championship Tournament.

yea they sure know what they're doing.

 

you know a joyboy when they are trying to discredit a ring title more over the alphabet title so that pac would not look good. ****ing pathetic!
