I'm not sure anyone apart from us boxing nerds take the Ring title seriously. Certainly not British broadcasters "educating" millions of casuals.

Get this - when Nathan Cleverly defended the WBO light-heavyweight title, which he didn't even win in the ring, against Aleksy Kuziemski (yes.. who?), Ian Darke proudly hailed him as Wales FIRST ever light-heavyweight world champion.

Yet Joe Calzaghe, who beat Hopkins for The Ring lightheavy title, was sitting in the studio. And had already mentioned that night how proud he was to become a TWO weight world champion.

So for Darke/Sky the Ring title certainly didn't mean a thing. Even though Calzaghe had beaten a man that was universally recognised as no.1 at the time. Madness.
