Is Linear Championship as prestigious than the alphabets?

[HattonTheHammer]

ring magazine should not be considered an actual championship more an accurate evaluation of divisional rankings.

Nadal won wimbledon but he is still 2nd in the world
Italy won the world cup but theyre not number 1 in the fifa rankings

Rankings are an estimation of who exactly is the best, but a championship it isnt!!

[Lance Uppercut]

If the Ring doesn't keep track of who the Real Champions are, then who will?

The alphabet gangs so regularly strip titles, award titles, and create interim and "regular" titles, that there is no way of telling who the champ of each division is.

That is where the Ring comes in. All they are really doing is following the lineage of the Championship, but it is rapidly gaining approval from the boxing world which is sick of the corrupt alphabet gangs which have driven the sport into obscurity(in the US)

my answer to that question would be a NO!.


Lineal Championship is more prestigious than alphabet belts.

Jones inherited Michazelski titles.
He was scared to box outside America.
Michazelski has more claim to being the linear champ than Jones ever had.

Amen, to that.

For those who don't know the history behind lineal champs for the Heavys & Ligh Heavys here it is I'll do the last few:

HW: Holy, Moorer, Foreman, Briggs, Lewis, Rahman, Lewis.
LHW: Spinks, Hill, Dariusz, Gonzalez, Erdie

I didn't make them up, don't believe me look them up.

The Ring Belt is the one that matters. Even lineal champions can be fake champs like Dariusz was at 175.
