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.
