    Not sure what you men by this, but the Ring belt is awarded when the top two ranked fighters in the division fight and the winner gets the Ring belt. It may in certain circumstances also be awarded if the number 1 and number 3 ranked fighters fight.

    I think that the ring magazine belt is overrated. Some of the things that are good about it are also bad. Like the fact that a fighter can only lose a belt in the ring. This sounds great because you get rid of boxers losing their belts over stupid politics but on the other hand a fighter can hold a belt hostage for as long as he wants. Also their rankings are just as objective as anyone elses and therefore can suck just as bad,

    Out of all the belts the Ring belt is the best. Because lets face it, the ABC titles are all about earning $. They are also the reason why so many people don't like boxing (why is there 4/5 champ's in each division?). I hate the ABC titles, they are one of the main reasons why the best do not face the best.

  7. Actually it was really created when the WBC was created… before that it just mirrored the one belt.

    ABC belts are simply trophies at this point. The Real Champ is known by the people.
