I don't think that's how it works. Hatton was Ring champ when he beat Kostya Tszyu because Tszyu was the previous Ring champ.

I think Wlad would have to beat the Peter/Maskaev winner to be Ring champ, since that guy would have the #2 ranking. If he did that, he'd also have a case for PFP recognition, as far as the thread topic goes.
