He didnt. I just find it rather depressing EVERY fight is for a world title today.

Thats why I tend to blinker myself to the lineage, or Ring.

Never, ever ask a question about alphabet titles in this forum - as soon as they're mentioned it turns into the same discussion. There should be a stickied warning atop of this page.
Pardon us for cutting through the bullsh!t and getting it DEAD FUCKEN RITE :roll:

I'm with GI here. Don't call fights Championship fights if nobody involved is the Champ. Paper titles aren't respected by true fans, and BOTP is mostly frequented by the true die-hard nuts of the sport.

Not EVERY fight. Roy Jones vs Max Alexander was merely for the UBO Intercontinental and IBS North American titles. So no world titles there.
