PBF no longer WW king (Never was IMO) Vacats belt like I said he would.

you know I am surprised that the Ring doesn't have an inactivity statute............ Say 2-2.5 years. That is a long time in boxing, even in these days of boxing one or two bouts a year.

I agree about the Ring belt. I wish there was some sort of inactivity clause although Hatton was a Ring champion it's not like that win shouldn't count for anything. I think if you rank welterweights based on what they've done at welterweight then Cotto definitely gets it. But that's not how The Ring works. Winky Wright was the 154 lb champ for a long time into his middleweight campaign before he gave the belt back himself. That's what you have to do. Don't agree with it but that's how it is.

You were contradicting yourself for the exact reasons Ice said. He was right to drop the WBC belt and for the exact reasons you yourself mentioned Danny. Because it's the "World Bullshit Council" in your words. Had he kept that belt and defended against Berto you would have slammed him and rightfully so. But now you're criticizing him for dropping it. Or at least the original post it did but it's nothing more then another one of your countless veiled attacks.

That is why Winky is such a great guy. A great fighter and a gentleman.

The WBC is a bullshit belt. Guys get it just because they rarely have to defend it. Fact.

Berto does not deserve a title shot at this point.Whatever happened to The santioning Alphabet boy's Assigning "Mandatory" Defenses?Honestly Mayweather does not Need the belt(s) to declare his championship calibur....But if he refuses to fight the Cotto/Margarito winner He is a farce Imo.A Belt does not make the Champion........His actions do.By fighting DelaHoya in a cash grab rematch, He is not stating or saying shit worth hearing!

Seconded!

Its good for berto, fair play i like the guy and he'll become a world champion but in effect it also ends his unbeaten streak..

Because right now.. he cant hang with the welterweight elite and that title will be a target on his chest..

but you know.. GOOD

Floyd isnt defending the fucken belt anyway.. Free it up.. there is ALOT of genuine talent at welterweight who deserve a world title and we can get back and see who can unify or beat the other recognised champs and make a different belt the lineal/Linear? title.. Lol

Floyd has no use for titles anyways.. Keep doing your p4p thing and dont be hoggin and gaurding the straps..

The Ring belt is now irrelevant as it is now owned and controlled by a single promoter.

If people kept saying it is the only belt that matters, what happens 5 years down the road? No fighter outside the Oscar umbrella would be ranked or get a title shot. There are already signs in the lightweight division that he is trying to force his hand and control the belts movement in house only.

Be very careful what you wish for people.

I don't even know what to make of all this. Mayweather is without a doubt the best P4P fighter today, but his inactivity and refusal to fight the best in his division disgusts me. I think they should remove him from the top spot in the Ring Rankings and see how he reacts to it. Will he b*tch and moan or will he shut his mouth and take everyone out?
