I've been buying Ring Magazine for about since about 2008. I used to look forward to it coming out every month even though it costs the equivalent of about $8 dollars here in England, but now I'm getting a bit fed up with it. The articles are still great but the rankings and covers are pi$$ing me off. Manny seems to be on the cover every other month and I've just bought January's issue today and in the Ring 100, David Haye is ranked number 56! Behind the likes of Antonio Margarito, who's a proven cheat. Joshua Clottey who's best win is over a bloated Zab Judah on a cut. Sergio Mora, Tomasz Adamek who is a good fighter but didn't achieve any more than Haye did at CW and has beaten no-one at HW.
Anyone else getting tired of The Ring?
Lol @ Adamek
His win over Areolla is better then all of Hayes HW wins combined
He should drop below 100 for even considering fighting audley
Arreola??? Right, now you are talking ****
Audley fight never should've happened, I called a 3rd round KO in April.
I'm sorry but I don't see how Adamek has acheived more than Haye.
Michael Grant for **** sake, Lewis schooled him 10 years ago.
Look the ring doesn't like David haye LOL!!!!

The thing is that each time he is one the cover, it's hyping him up to do something
"take heavyweight division by storm"
Or "lace it up to the klitschkos"
But he has nothing nothing that Ring has hyped him up to do
Ring putting him on he cover and then him signing Harrison to a fight is a slap on the face
Clottey is 54
Adamek is 49
Cunningham is 37
Abraham is 42
Margarito is 31
I'd personally rank Haye above all of them. I'm not gonna bother going through the whole list though
I could see adamek and Cunningham but AA has a hundred times better resume and has fiought in much tougher divisions on his own.
My friend, I am calm you're the one who's having a rant. I just think that he deserves to ranked higher than 56.
Like I said I've been buying it for nearly 3 years. I have no reason to lie, I'm a grown man who prob owns more fight dvds than you've had hot dinners.
Then I simply disagree because i think 56 is a more than fair ranking especially since no more than 2 years ago Wlad and Vitali you know the real lions of the division were ranked in the 50's themselves.
He fights in a better division the end! And Clottey is ranked what exactly?
So lets say we took Clotty of the list what does that make haye? 55? Wow that a big jump!!!
Clottey is 54

Do you really think wins over Harrrison, Ruiz and Valuev should really earn him anything more than a 56 ranking and even if you eliminate margarito and clotty he's still only ranked 54. hell Wlad and Vitali were barely ranked 51 and 52 last year and they are the best 2 boxers in the division.
Calm the fuk down! In 2008-2009 Haye got several covers and got plenty of love from the ring but after two years of tippy toeing around Vitali and Wlad he should feel lucky he's even in the top 100 of the ring rankings.
Stop acting like The Ring didn't try top make him into the savior of HW boxing for a year and a half! In fact it's my guess you just got the magazine 6 months ago.

But dude, Joshua Clottey?

So lets say we took Clotty of the list what does that make haye? 55? Wow that a big jump!!!
But he was a top Welterweight for over a decade. He fought hard fights, unlike Haye who doesn't seem to like threats. From Cunningham at CW to the Klits at HW.
Cotto is a better win than anyone on Hayes resume.
Oh yea, one thing, I actually like Haye but I'm down to my last string of being a fan of his for the pussy shit he pulls over and over.
Look the ring doesn't like David haye LOL!!!!

Last time I check he has a win over Clottey. Nice try.
You're a fan of one of the most overrated prospects in the sport. Carlos Negron sucks. He's worse than Williams.
Last time I checked, it was a robbery. Nice try, but judges don't mean shiit today either. Nor does your opinion on prospects since your a die hard Margarito/Canelo fan LOL

Mormeck in France wasn't a tough fight? Valuev in Germany wasn't a tough fight? Cunningham would've got stopped early.
But I agree, Haye needs to fight a Klitschko.
Basically how it goes. An American boxing magazine is biased towards its own fighters and fighters based there. A British boxing magazine is biased towards its own fighters and fighters based there. I am sure it is the same everywhere.

Margarito also lost to Clottey and Daniel Santos, don't lie.
I stopped buying Ring, it's expensive here in the states too.
There just isn't the quality writers it once had, and it doesn't cover the lesser known fighters and up and comers the way it once did.
And the writers who were once considered good have all become GBP fan boys.
Even with that said, there really isn't many boxing magazines anymore. So at least there trying?
Good to know, they already own Maxb.o.x.i.n.g., and dog****.....their everywhere these days with their bias bullcrap. lol
Overall Margarito has done more than David Haye.
Really? Single weight world champion (IBF and WBO), best win is over Cotto was schooled by Williams, Shane and Pac. But surely his accomplishments are tainted as he was possibly wearing plaster the entire time?
