How the hell is Toney up there, his best fight was against Will Smith in "Ali" and the only time he'll come close to being champion in the heavyweight division!!!

Ring's p4p list has become a flat out joke over the last few years
jack_the_rippuh 11-03-2004, 10:46 PM Tarver doesn't deserve to be third. Where is Corrales?
restless_438 11-04-2004, 02:16 AM yeah tarver has no business being ahead of half the guys on there
julDilla 11-04-2004, 02:24 AM tarver is like 35 years old, not even 25 fights, 2 loses.
only guy he beat was a way past his prime roy jones jr
Dark Destroyer 11-04-2004, 05:09 AM Tarver third???? WTF :eek: next they will be rating Glencoffe Johnson above the likes of Manny, Morales, Marquez, Winky and Toney. :rolleyes:
Kostya shouldn't be in their either, he has been too inactive to be taken seriously in these rankings.
Nick54 11-04-2004, 10:57 AM tarver is like 35 years old, not even 25 fights, 2 loses.

Esspicially since he lost to jones just before that. tarver at 3 is bull****.
GxBrak 11-04-2004, 11:00 AM does winky wright deserver to be fourth? i dont really know im asking.

Indeed .
Dark Destroyer 11-04-2004, 11:13 AM does winky wright deserver to be fourth? i dont really know im asking.
Winky hasn't been given the respect he deserves for years. Only now the Shane Mosley lime light is on him he is getting the respect he does deserve. He is a great tactical fighter who utilises his lack of power well with a unbelieveable counter/combination punching defensive style. I have no issues with him been forth but Tarver at third is a joke.
BTW Winky will give us a replay of the first fight on November 20th when he fights Mosley again. Unless Mosley knocks him out i think he's lost again.
This list is one of the most stupid I've seen in recent times. Tarver 3rd? Toney at 9? Kostya still on the list? Funny in a sad kinda way.
mic573 11-04-2004, 11:40 AM Ring Magazine has never been good with rankings and p4p list so it is no surprise to me that thier list looks like that.
syn0879 11-04-2004, 11:51 AM I'm trying to figure out how they ranked Tarver #3.
jabsRstiff 11-04-2004, 11:51 AM Tarver deserves to be in the top 10, based on his demolition of the guy who topped many folks' lists.
But, we shoulda learned our lesson with VERNON FORREST. I, myself, was guilty of putting him up near the top based on his first win over Mosley (who was my #1 guy). Forrest looked like **** in the second fight, & we know about his fights with Mayorga.
I certainly can't see putting Tarver over Morales & Pac....two guys who have impressive BODIES OF WORK...not just a decent resume & one very stellar victory.
QueenCity 11-04-2004, 12:03 PM I never could understand how their P4P rankings can be so out of wack and their rankings for each weight class can be so well done. :confused:
QueenCity 11-04-2004, 12:08 PM Tarver deserves to be in the top 10, based on his demolition of the guy who topped many folks' lists.

Thats kinda how I feel about Winky Wright, he can eventully a top pound for pound fighter, but not simply after I one great night against Shane Mosley. (a man who took a serious jump up in weight) It seems like everyone but me thinks he is right up there with the top fighters. I've always thought that Vargas won most of the rounds way back when they fought.
Hurlex 11-04-2004, 12:35 PM manny is to high...he cant be after JMM

makes sense for most part
cept id have JMM and PAC tied
i wouldnt have tzyu up there at all
Toney wouldnt be up there either
id prolly have corrales tied or one above castillo
patto1984 11-04-2004, 06:36 PM well at least we all agree BH is #1. I think we all do
Supafly25 11-07-2004, 08:22 AM well im guessing every1 now agrees that Tszyu deserves to be there. How does a lucky punch u threw wit ur eyes closed get u the no. 3 ranking???
