    Although I don't support the ridiculous proliferation of belts available nowadays, there is a point that letting one single body be in charge of all of it makes that body more susceptible to the corruption of promoters. See how certain promoters are able to control the belts? Well, what if they could try & control or manipulate the Ring belt or rankings in such a way.

    I also have a problem with the idea that the Ring is THE authority on lineage. In actual fact, they've ignored plenty of their own lineage & how it carried through the 90s. They also for some bizarre reason have chosen not to make the Cotto-Margarito fight for the lineal belt even though everyone else accepted it as such. I can't remember if it was about Mayweather's retirement being too recent or keeping Williams ranked above Margarito despite his loss to Quintana.

    Then you've got them not liking that Zsolt Erdei was the lineal LHW champ of the world, so they decided to create another one. Sorry, you don't get to do that just because the champ is fighting marks.

    All that said, if Ring did institute a proper policy like Maui's, then I'd be in support of it.

    Ring ain't perfect. It is merely the best of the available current choices...by a mile.
