They gave Roy the Ring belt. And if you revcall, it was a cluster **** with the whole stripping of Roccigiano (I think), in which he won a suit against the ABC who did it (****, cannnot recall the specifics). But it was NOT just a simple, "We want to give it to Roy". Roy was beating everyone. DM or Rocc were not. BTW, you know GBP had NOTHING to do with Ring at the time? As for Khan and Bradley, just because you don't agree doesn't mean it was for no valid reason. As said, their rankings are light years better then the other ABC's.
