Why? Ring is literally owned by Golden Boy Promotions. Since buying Ring, they've changed all of the rules and completely corrupted the title, which is why so many respected journalists quit in disgust and formed TBRB.
The lineal title has merit, but the lineal title and Ring have nothing to do with each other anymore. #2 can now fight #5 for the vacant title if it benefits HBO. Lineal champions can be stripped if it benefits HBO. Golden Boy selectively enforces the rules whenever it benefits HBO and harms Showtime.
The second Ring was purchased by HBO's lead promoter, it lost all credibility.
True but most agree with ring rankings I wish they went back to #1 v #2 for a vacant belt but at least the rankings are honest

a dozen members of the ring ratings advisory board said golden boy had corrupted the ratings and they turned in their resignations in protest. that is why tbrb was formed.
I say WBC just because its the original. I would have had the WBA close to it if they didn't have bull**** regular champions, super champions, etc. it's a joke.
The Ring belt is where it's at though. Means more IMO. At least before Oscar bought it. The Ring belt was the lineal title.
why do people say the WBC is the original??? The WBA is the first one of the 4 belts we have now
The boxer makes the belt..not the other way around!!!
that mentality is why we have four belts instead of one. that mentality is why we have so much ducking. that mentality has been incredibly destructive.
the champion is the champion. allowing a star to hide behind an unrecognized title is what got boxing into the mess it's in. if you pretend all belts are equal and the man makes the belt, it becomes very easy for everybody to hide.

why would one belt hold more weight then the other?? Explain please... My post meant the champion makes the belt meaning the champ who beats all comers. Not a champ who hides behind one title and fights bull**** contenders pulled out of an organizations hat
