A Champ is a 3x winner for sure if it gets a loss it's a ex Champ but was still one (these are just my opinions and how I view things) Just like if Sugar Ray lost his champion ship he would have been no doubt a Champion but no longer the Champion same goes with the Gr. Ch status. Now this is just how I see things, John you could do the same thing (Not saying you will, just saying anybody could) make your own registry, put in place rules, if you want this title this is how it's done, Jack K. did it, it can be done. So circles are doing it like this. I also think if you want champion status it should be
1xer into 1xer or higher
2xer into 2xer or higher
Champ into Champ or higher
And so on and so fourth weed out all the bullshit champs out there, it's always good to no your gonna win but is it a competition if you no your gonna win?
Now again this is just my opinions and how I view some things
