most Boxing fans go by the ring championship belt its a non profit belt given by the Magazine.
In 2002, The Ring created a championship system that is "intended to reward fighters who, by satisfying rigid criteria, can justify a claim as the true and only world champion in a given weight class." There are only two ways that a boxer can win The Ring's title: defeat the reigning champion or win a box-off between The Ring's number-one and number-two rated contenders (or, sometimes, number-one and number-three rated).[1] There are also only three ways that a boxer can lose The Ring's title: lose a championship fight, move to a different weight class, or retire. (The Ring does not strip its champions' titles like the sanctioning bodies do.)
Boxing title are good for the sport, they make more money having a title. Just like King of the cage has a title, WEC has a title, the difference between the ufc champ and ring champ in boxing. U dont have to fight for the ring org to be considered the champ.

I know about The Ring and I think it's stupid. I don't think MMA champions should be decided by a group of journalists making up their own rules. Do you trust Sherdog rankings as the de facto list of champions?
Also, you can ignore the IBO if you want. You still can't find another champion that has unified the other 4 titles which was my point to begin with.
