A fringe title holder with World Title potential. You can try to sell it anyway you want (see threads about Antonio Tarver's IBO title challenge) but if it's not one of the big four, it's not really recognised.

Totally agree, I thought that Simpson really pushed Matthews and if the ref was keeping a proper eye on Matthews he'd have lost a point or two for sure. And as it was in Matthews' back yard he got a generous shake of the scores as well. Matthews' gutter boxing style grates with me, same as Bernard Hopkins' does.
