Re: Ordinary World Titles??
Mean Ali only became a champion that many times because he lost to a guy named Spinks who he never should of lost to but eh. I think Holyfeild titles hold just as much weight as Ali's did but its all on how you look at it back in Ali's day they never had to deal with all the different belts. Even if you look at the ring it has flaws i dont care for either it is the fighter that makes the belt what it is not the wba, wbc, wbo, ibf and yea not even the ring mag it self.

Quit paying attention to them. We know who the lineal champs are, just follow the Ring Magazine's ratings.
Although, it would really help if HBO, Showtime, and ESPN all agreed to stop showing the belts or making reference to them on the air. HBO used to do this to the WBO back in the 1990's. They intentionally ignored it.
Yeah but its funny how the Ring mentions them in their magazine and almanac. The bible of boxing wants to be recognized as the lone belt but still gives them publicity. I don't get that 1.

Holyfield is a legitimate 2x heavyweight champion. He won his 3rd title when George Forman was THE Champ, and he won his 4th title when Lennox Lewis was THE champ.

The Ring Magazine first and foremost reports the news, and like it or not, the alphabet titles are still a part of the story in boxing.

The fighters should be the news not those damn belts. I'm going to order 1 online and call myself a champion. Thats the problem! These gangs of boxing have taken over and are destroying our sport.
