Either 1 & 2 or 1 & 3- they allow 1 & 3 to fight for vacant titles if there is very little disparity between 2 & 3.

Right. So even though the ring doesn't recognise the WBO it still had Calzaghe ranked in a position to take their title?

Ring magazine can care less about any title.....Truth is their title is the only one that counts as far as legitimacy......as you often see they have vacant slots in their champion area...They go b who is the most dominate champion and who fights the best comp if their title is not passed along by defeat...EG baldo was ring champ because he won it from Judah...the rest is all about money amoung thwe organizations...they are the least biased in their ratings because they don't profit from their rankings....You can't put down Ring's champion...You will be hard pressed to find anyone who knows anthing about the sport to disagree with them...their belt is either won from the former holder or awarded by quality and quality only

Yes, but the argument about why Lyakovich wasn't on the cover still counts, as his opponent to win his belt, Lamon Brewster, is a fighter of similar level with Rahman, Byrd and John Ruiz, whom the other champions had to beat to claim their belt. Anyhow, I doubt there is a fighter in there worthy of the Ring belt, which, I would agree, is a good indicator of who the best of the champions is in most of the division, where unifications are rare.
