Anyway, the list is pointless. When you think of all the great welters in recent years (Margarito, Quartey, TRINIDAD, etc.) and then see this list you just have to snicker.
But yea the list doesn't mean very much...at the end of the day...
Quality of opponents > Number of belts captured

The Ring stopped doing their belts in the late 80s/early 90s and only did their ratings on a 1 through 10 system, with no champs. It was simply whom they thought was the best fighter in each division.
They then re-did their policy around 2001-02.

That cyberboxing list makes no sense to have Spinks and then not have Judah, Baldomir, and Mayweather.
Some of their other divisions could use some updating.Last edited by Thread Stealer; 10-12-2009, 04:51 PM.
