Question

Is the Ring Magazine belt the most important belt? Also how do you win that belt?

Answer 1

The Ring belt is handed to the wearer of all three boxing org. belts who beats the #2 Ring ranked boxer in their weight class.

Answer 2

In 2002, The Ring attempted to clear up the confusion regarding world champions by creating a championship policy. It echoes many critics' arguments that the sanctioning bodies that control the championships in boxing had undermined the sport because of undeserving contenders fighting undeserving champions, and forcing the boxing public to see mismatches for a "so-called" world championship. It attempts to be more authoritative and open than the sanctioning bodies' rankings, with a page devoted to full explanations for ranking changes. A fighter pays no sanctioning fees to defend or fight for the title at stake, contrary to practices of the sanctioning bodies. Furthermore, a fighter cannot be stripped of the title unless he loses, decides to move up in weight, or retires.

A vacant Ring championship is filled when the number one contender in a weight class battles the number two contender or the number three contender (in cases where The Ring determines that the number two and three contenders are close in abilities and records).

For example, as of today there is no Heavyweight Champion. Even if #1 ranked contender Wald Klitschko beats #6 ranked Sultan Ibragimov next weekend Klitschko still will not be crowned the Heavyweight Champion by the Ring.

Answer 3

Quite honestly, they all are crooked and on the take. Don't loose sleep over it. The first guys gives an excellent answer. The most important belt is the one that stops your *** from showing!

Answer 4

Yes, it is the most important belt because with the Ring belt, there are no pointless mandatories and you cannot be stripped of the title like with all of the other corrupt sanctioning bodies.  The Ring's rankings are also fair and unbiased, which is why the fighter who holds the Ring championship is considered the TRUE champ in his division.  If the title is vacant, you can win it by having a box-off between the number 1 and 2 contenders (sometimes number 3 if 2 and 3 are close in ability), or you can beat the reigning champ.  Also the only way you can lose the title is by losing a championship fight, moving to another weight division, or retiring, which is the way it should be.
