Of all the titles a fighter can possess which one in your opinion gives a fighter more credibility as being the true champion at his weight class??..
Until proven otherwise, currently the Ring, though right now that's in question. Lineal is the other big one, but BOTH can be held hostage. That is their downfall. Of the one's listed, the Ring is most credible to me. The WBA is the oldest and first of the ABC titles, so you could consider it for historical value. Let's not forget the Unified title, but that is DAMN hard to do these days.
thats how i feel at the moment...i think they have been doing pretty good compared to the rest of the sanctioning bodies....except for the chaos that they caused in the HW division...but besides that i think they've done pretty good...not that they dont have their flaws
Any answer other than the ring is simply ignorant. It isn't that the ring rankings are perfect, they are far from it. However, they are CLEARLY CLEARLY the best at deciding who the real champ is in any particular weightclass. People on this site should be educated enough to know that is true without me having to cite the VERY NUMEROUS examples of ridiculous ABC champions.
It doesn't matter. In some cases its the ring in other cases its the IBF or WBC. It's all on the fighter. Like when Lennox Lewis was stripped or vacated belts. The one he was defending was the true title.
