Calzaghe is not a two weight world champion

Because if you don't have an alphabet title you can hand pick your fights?

 

I get what you are sayin, the lineal title has its downpoints, like i said before though, this is what purists have been moanin' to have for years - like the old days right??

But what im sayin is also right, alphabet titles dont give any1 tru championship status by merely winnin' 1 - come on , you know this!

 

It's a tough one. I prefer to stick to the big three alphabet titles. If you win one you're a world champion and if you hold all three you're the undisputed champion.

Are we at least agreed that the last thing boxing needs is for the Ring title to be taken seriously?

 

The tru reason of the Ring title is right though, just that guys can sit on the title, thats the **** part, but champs have allways done that in the days of 1 title per division - reall bumma, and your point is good. But Tyson wasnt the HW champ before he beat Spinks and he had all 3 titles prior to that fight.

 

Are you just now realizing that the Ring Belt is just another ABC with an extra letter?

 

Thats just ignorance.

 

You're right!

 

Why?

 

Top 10 rating are OK.

Winning there belt and being able to defend against who you pick and choose is a major flaw.Hopkins had yet to defend against another LHW.

 

Thats the only flaw, that was a flaw in the old days though aswell.

 

because 2 + 2 = 4

atsch

I honestly hope you guys are only pretending to be this ignorant.

 

:good

 

And that "only flaw" is pretty major in terms of match making.

 

And some of you need to learn to take a fight on a fight by fight basis.

One: Tarver was NOT clearly the best. He split two fights with Glenn Johnson. He also never fought Adamek or Erdei. Beating old Jones 2 years prior, then declining and looking horrible yourself while other figthers come up in the division certainly does grant you "The Best" status.

Two: Even IF Tarver was the best, that was 2 years ago. Hopkins isn't as good now as he was then. You don't just get credit for how good you were....you have to maintain it. Period.

So you're point, while valid, certainly isn't the be all end all of the situation.

 

:deal

Refused a rubber match.

Tarver is the best yet he wins loses wins loses win loses.:nono Not the mark of "the best".
