Boxrec make JMM No1 Lightweight. Who agrees?

[Lance Uppercut]

Marquez is NOT a world champ at lightweight, Casa didn't have a belt when they fought.

The Ring belt is NOT a world championship belt. You may rate it more highly than a genuine title belt but it is still NOT a world title belt.

Why is the Ring Belt not a title. It was a real title when Jack Dempsey defended it. The World alphabet belts have only been around since 1962, before that it WAS only the Ring title that granted true World recognition.

What constitutes a real title? Does the organization have to rob the fighters of portions of their purses for it to be real? Does the organization have to rank unjust challengers at their number one contenders for it to be real?

If the Ring started charging sanctioning fees and ranking Gary Locket as their number 1 contender then would you recognize it as a real title?

Nice one Lance. Totally agree. If Bilbo wants to follow their mess that his choice but to say the Ring championship isn't real is just not logical! It is more real than the stripped paper alphabet titles!!!
