However I believe instead of recognising the paper champions as ture champions at all, it would be better to recognise the Ring Champions IMO. They are a lot less corrupt and although some say there could be source of bias, I dont see it as a GROUP of sports writers should balance out their own personal bias. If the Ring rankings become widly recognised enough, Boxing might finally be saved from the alphabet soup madness that keeps so many casual and would be fans away and also prevents us from crowning true champs at any weight (particularly the once beloved heavyweight division).

In conclusion: Ring Good, Alphabet Paper Titles Bad
You know...I see what you are saying...& I can to an extent see your point...but...in boxing & everything else in life...you have to take the good with the bad & there is always bad in sports of any kind...corruption runs rampant in football all the way down to something as obscure as racing...

I think that you have to make note of...if not recognizing the Alphabet titles & their champions...because again...like it or not...theyr'e always going to be there.

for your points.
Your right, the Alphabet titles are always gonna be there. In my eyes thats a HUGE shame.

Maybe I'm being naive due to my youth but I just believe that if enough respected people and organisations in boxing (chiefly the media and ESPN and HBO are pretty much there) get behing something like the Ring rankings, maybe the alphabet guys will become insignificatn and boxing fans will be able to say so and so is THE champion of the world not one champion of many which always seems pathetic. Of course the ideal situation would be for boxer's to turn their backs on the Alphabet Titles (there were promising signs when Tarver and Johnson done this for their rematch with the Ring Title on the line) so the organisations would no longer be profitable and would have to fade into Bolivian , but that wont ever happen.....
