Pacquaio and Ortiz should fight for the vacant welterweight title

The Ring Magazine's belt is no better than the trinkets handed out by any other sanctioning mob.

This was made painfully clear when the Ring Magazine handed Roy Jones their 175lb title.

The Ring Magazine and their trinkets are a JOKE.

 

you mean roy jones wasn't the light heavyweight champion of the world? dude owned almost every single belt in that division.

 

What makes Floyd the champ @ 147lbs?

The FACT that he beat the Man @ that weight.

You have to beat the Man in order to BE the Man.

Floyd BEAT the Man @ 147lbs. Twice.

Who has Manny beaten @ 147lbs?

 

Yes, Floyd retired.

Then he beat Mosley who beat Margarito who beat Cotto.

When Floyd retired, Cotto and Margarito were the #1 and #2 Welterweights in the world.

Margarito beat Cotto which made Margarito the Man @ 147lbs.

Shane beat Margarito which made Shane the Man @ 147lbs.

Floyd beat Shane which makes Floyd the Man @ 147lbs.

1 + 1 = 2

 

The MAN was recognized as the MAN because ring magazine had him as their no.1

and i dont give a **** about what manny did i'm talkin about grape drank jr.

 

Jones' "reign" @ 175 was one of the biggest frauds ever perpetrated against the sport of boxing.

Jones was never the legitimate champion @ 175lbs...

 

get the **** outta here, who was it then that polish guy who fought in germany?atsch

 

Bull****.

The Ring Magazine does NOT decide who is or who is not the #1 contender.

 

If you're so damned smart them maybe you could enlighten us all with the lineage of Jones' 175lb title?

Can't wait to hear this one...

 

Jones created his own lineage, he was the best in the division the number one, he defeated all comers.

who did you want him to fight?

 

More Bull****.

Tell me, who did Jones beat to be recongnized as the legitimate champ @ 175lbs?

 

He unified all the belts and beat every top contender in the division.

do you also not count hopkins as the legit middleweight champion either?

 

Hopkins beat Trinidad to be recongnized as the legitimate champion @ 160lbs.

WHO did Jones beat to be the Man @ 175?

 

:rofl Trinidad the welterweight who beat Joppy for his belt!?


ok fair enough lets say roy jones wasn't the champ, who was it then? or who should roy have beaten to become the champ?

 

Trinidad was THE legit #2 contender @ 160 when Hopkins beat him. Try getting a CLUE.

Roy had to beat Dariusz M.
