not many cause GBP doesn't even have that many relevant fighters

I love Canelo, one of my favs but he is still the MW champ in the opinion of Ring. Like... c'mon... how? He fought his last fight in 154 and they rank him there too at #1

and being GBP rigged not only means that they might favor GBP fighters in their rankings but also (more likely imo) that they (will) rank PBC fighters lower.
We're talking about a media outlet which has a contributor who told to a guy who is in a high position in GBP, the company which owns the magazine, that "they" need Fightnews and Boxingscene too to slander Haymon.

Even if you look at their rankings right now and you don't find huge injustice I think the things mentioned above makes it clear that they wouldn't be afraid to live with such tools cause they're looking at it like they would be at war with Haymon/PBC and you can expect some fukkery toward that side anytime and if it don't already affects their ratings it will... as long as they are under GBP.

And it's just an ethical decision for me... If a magazine proven to be a tool in the hand of a promotional company I will stop rely on them as a news or rating source cause that just doesn't work for me...

Before those mails I thought they might be biased but not actually conspiring against a promoter. You're journalists you're supposed to be neutral. We have too many journalist who openly stan or hate fighters, promoters or networks anyway...



ps: as for TR, RNS and etc... they are not conspiring against those companies so there's no possibility or low possibility that they intentionally rank them lower now or later.

Which PBC fighter is ranked too low in their division by RING Magazine?


And Canelo just defended his RING Middleweight Championship/Lineal Middleweight Championship vs Amir Khan and then beat Liam Smith at Junior Middleweight to retain his #1 ranking....unless you're claiming Canelo shouldn't be #1 at JMW, even though he has the best JMW resume by far.

@Newzz
I think this is what its really about.. They in their feelings cause Canelo still holds the RING strap at middleweight and ia ranked above ggg who he "ducked" .. That shyt got a lot of nikkas tight...

The problem with their logic is there never was a rule that a fighter cant hold the RING belt in 1 division and fight in another.. We seen Floyd do it.. We seen Calzaghe do it.. just like we seen fighters get stripped by not figting a top 5 in the division they won the strap in..

The same rules applied to Canelo.. There's no conspiracy.. If you go down the rankings
it all seems pretty fair for the most part accept at welterweight Pac should still be ahead of all those guys in my honest opinion, but he officially retired at 1 point so whatever

I dont see any connection between the racist emails and the divisional rankings.. no evidence of an agenda looking at those rankings

Exactly breh.

So you doing all this projection of what Mikey Garcia would do at Welterweight, and you don't even know if his power translates to even JWW yet


A much larger/stronger/powerful Maidana in MX Gloves couldn't stop Broner, a much larger/stronger Porter couldn't even put down Broner, but Mikey's power would do the job huh?


Mikey Garcia is more skilled because of you going strictly what he's done to 130 and under competition (and the smallest 135 Champion)........but we're just gonna forget Broner dominated 130 & 135 already as well, and is bigger than Garcia huh?

If you gonna throw down a debate about Mikey/AB holla at me, Mikey reps #SmokeSquad.

Anyway I ain't goin into that back and forth, because we just gonna agree to disagree. I will say Brandon Rios said Mikey hits harder than Maidana though Mikey got a top 3 jab in the entire game too

I think Rios is better skilled and more refined (when he puts it all together, especially his jab) but I don't think he hits harder than Chino.

his power never seemed to carry from 135. He wore down Alvarado and couldn't do shyt with Chaves but bytch and moan to the ref and take fades.

Mikey is definitely a better puncher p4p wise than Chino, but I doubt he hits harder than him. Weight classes exist for a reason. That's like saying Spence hits harder than Stevenson, even though he's more skilled.

As I said... eve if you don't find that burning evidence of injustice now for me it's just an ethical question to not rely on a magazine's ratings and news who are controlled by a promoter and conspired to make another promoter look bad. Simple as that
