			**The Ring used this reasoning in its June 1980 issue to recognize the WBC titlist [[Larry Holmes]] as its heavyweight champion without actually having to fight the newly crowned WBA champion [[Mike Weaver]], whom Holmes had already defended his WBC title against on June 22, 1979, for the vacant title. Quote: "With this issue ''Ring'' hereby recognizes Larry Holmes' claim as ''the'' Heavyweight Champion of the World. Not because he is the WBC claimant, but because he won his title ''in the ring'' with his victory last June 22nd over the WBA title claimant, Mike Weaver. That's where titles are won and lost - ''in The Ring!''"
