      I think Boxingscene's Cliff Rold left the ratings comitee for just about the same reasons as the above scribe.

        P4p rankings are just for fun. The money is in the divisional rankings.

            Divisional titles are real. P4P titles are merely fantasy.

              Does this mean that guys like Adonis Stevenson, Sergio Martinez and Andre Ward didn't deserve their Ring title belts?

                TBR is made up of boxing writers. They rank the fighters in each division.

                No because they are true lineal champions.

                Here are TBR's current lineal champs:

                HW: Wladimir Klitschko
                LHW: Adonis Stevenson
                SMW: Andre Ward
                MW: Sergio Martinez
                JMW: Floyd Mayweather
                JWW: Danny Garcia
                JFW: Guillermo Rigondeaux
                FLY: Akira Yaegashi

                  I think it would have to show tremendous naivety to think that the ring rankings were not in the past influenced by the leading promoters. Christ the original ring rankings were produced by the leading promoter of the day.
