A big cc to Shza for carrying the Ring fight for me & another to El Phenomena in 24hrs for being willing to learn something that is trying to improve the sport we love. Basically you can't lose your championship unles your beaten in the ring or relinquish it if you move up. You can choose to defend your title & fight in another division, which is what Jones Jr did. He was still recognised as light-heavyweight champion when he moved up to fight Ruiz, but with his victory there he got ranked at heavyweight & was still light-heavyweight champion. This system gives fighters the opportunity to hold titles at different weights as long as they are willing to defend them. When Winky moved up he informed the Ring that he was relinquishing his championship because he wanted to concentrate on middleweight, & give other fighters the opportunity the win the championship.

In the case where a championship is vacant a fight between the #1 & #2 ranked fighters will qualify as a championship decider. Somethimes a fight between #1 & #3 will also qualify. e.g. at heavyweight at the moment Wlad is #1 & if he fights Maskaev #2 in will be for the championship. But if Wlad #1 fights Toney #3 it may also qualify as Toney had drawn with Rahman who was #2.

The alphabet belts are completely irrelevant & are treated as if they don't even exist which is how it should be.
