    I personally never held ring in any high regard. It's not like it's inception or purpose or drive has ever been for anything other than promotion. Nat Fleischer was a plagiaristic journalist and Oscar's a coke head....kinda lateral in the world of journalistic integrity.

    Disagree here Fleischer had credibility The Ring had credibility
    Oscar is a laughing stock The Ring lost all credibility

    I don't recognize ring mags title anyway. But I had to put it out there to let everyone know. I'm glad you posted what you posted.

    ODLH is a crook but I care more about the ring title than I do lineal.

    How does Wilder feel about all this? Will he slaughter the belt because he isn't holding it?


    Because the winner of AJ/Parker will hold WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO and Ring Belt..


    OK the IBO and Ring Belt are not overly recognised or held in high regard but surely holding all those will drive Wilders % down a couple more points if he wants the winner LOL

    They are not exactly stringent, on paper nor in enforcement.

    Wilder and his dedicated fan base plan on making a hybrid championship with its own hybrid belt.

    Since Wilder is the only half-man-half-hybrid-hybrid on Earth he is instantly recognized as the immortal hybrid champion, soon to be followed with a new hybrid statue with big hands placed on the top of all the wonders of the world, so when aliens finally find Earth they will easily know "where to find our leader" and can negotiate our membership with the half-hybrid-half-man-hybrid God that will be Deontay Wilder into the intergalactic federation and cement out species' survival in the timeless phenomenon that is our universe.

    All praise be to Deontay Wilder.

    I'm not asking to be a dick or rhetorically passive aggressive. I'm honestly curious. Why would you place a promotional title over a traditional one?

    It may have been different in the past but today lineal does little to tell us who the current best is who who has the best claim to being a divisions current champ. Look at Stevenson. He has held the lineal title hostage from an entirely new generation of fighters from even having a shot at claiming it. What meaning does the title have at this point? The Ring title on the other hand can be stripped. Ward and Kovalev are bigger, more relevant players in the LHW division and the Ring title reflected that. The Lineal did not.

    Copy & paste is one hell of a productivity helper.
