Ring might just be the most corrupt of them all . I cant let a magazine owned by Oscar dicate to me who the champ is
I judge things on what I see

I hate to do it, but I agree with Sweet pea. Oscar owns the Ring, yes, but at least they follow who beats who and linearize the champ. It makes a little more sense to me. Nobody's gonna come outta retirement from a loss ranked #1 on the Ring Mag Belt.
But yes, F the belts in the A. We know who the champ is.
"Floyd needs to inject Xylocaine into his balls to gain the courage to fight Pacquiao."
- and I quote from some random guy on the internet
The fighter makes the title....Not the other way around....
Thats why you will see most writers worth their salt refer to champions as belt holders now adays....
It has been a long time since the champion of a sanctioning body was actually the champion and not just a belt holder
Hidden Content IN CASE THEY ALL FORGOT WHAT REAL HEAVYWEIGHT POWER WAS!!!
Well I hate to see what Rafael says about the WBA especially at heavyweight...it's ridiculous
The WBO and Kronk seemed pretty close early on.The belts are such a mish mash now.It truely will cause migrans keeping track.Been said before,Fighters make themselves and give name to a belt,The belts are just along for the ride.
WBO, WBC, WBA, IBF, IBO, ABC, XYZ all the same...
WBC asking Pacquiao to pay $100,000 sanctioning fee for PAC's fight with Hoya... is garbage (before this, WBC pres. Sulaiman labeled the PAC-Hoya fight a farce).
$100,000 for sanctioning fee alone? That's already 3 or 4 times the total purse of JMM when he lost to Chris John...
.
The problem I have with ring magazine is that they had Casa as ring champion conveniently when he was about to fight a golden boy fighter in Marquez. Casa got his ass handed to him by a bum like Santa Cruz yet they still said he was champ but Campbell who beat the next big thing . . the undfeated unified champion in Diaz , is not recognised as the best ?! Gimme a break
Also sus that Pacs apparently the p4p champ according to that mag so isnt it covenient that when Oscar beats him he can say he beat the p4p number 1 . If he wants to beat the best then fight Calzaghe whos unbeaten and has been beating big names.

Because whether it was a good judging decision or not.... Casamayor won the fight against Santa Cruz.
The Ring bases it belts on the linear championship and they respect the official decisions of the judges. That's why the Ring belts have credibility, because there is a defined list of rules on how their belts are handed out. Sanctioning bodies change the rules whenever they feel like it, the Ring doesn't.
Because the Ring has set of rules to follow, and even though the judges blew that fight, the Ring still had to follow and abide by that decision, crap or not. Had Santa Cruz not gotten screwed THE FUCKING JUDGES NOT RING MAG, he would have been Ring Champ. It's that simple. The judges fucked up, not the ring. The belts don't matter. Sucks for Campbell, but that's the way it it. The ring needs to play by it's own rules.
