So now we have Mayweather un-retired and facing Marquez and The Ring title is still vacant, shouldn't the title belt be on the line since the fight is being made within the weight class?
Good question, not a good answer. Going by the Ring rules, yes Mosley could have been declared the Ring champion but he had just lost the year cefore I believe to another title holder whose name escapes me. As for Mayweather vs Marquez being declared the champion I haven't looked but doesn't the Ring wait until a retired fighter has fought again and then rank him? Besides Marquez is now moving up and hasn'y fought at that weight yet.
