I don't know how much more they can lose credibility.
Since doing the showtime deal, both opponents just happened to make their P4P ratings before the fight.
First Guerrero and now Canelo.
When Mares is moved down, I bet Canelo will take his spot.
If Mares is removed.. you bet they're going to put Alexander on there and whoever wins in December keeps the spot.
Mark my words
Oscar owns the Ring so the rankings will always be favorable to fighters he promotes. Oscar says he doesn't have anything to do with the running of the Ring but he owns it and the writers work for him so of course he does have plenty to do with the ratings and who is on the cover etc. . If Canelo beats Mayweather he won't need Mares's spot in the pfp. rankings. He will take over Mayweather's place as the #1 pfp fighter.
The Ring is owned by GBP, they are using the magazine as a promotional tool. It really is as simple as that but some of there rankings are decent. I like their MW rankings and the RaNkings at SMW, LHW as well as HW.
Guys... if you can see that the Ring rankings are crap, don't assume the TBRB's or any other rankings only based on the opinions of a bunch of writers pulling names out of their ass can be better. We need objective rankings in boxing!

Go by this from now on. The writers and panelists are just as, if not more accomplished and credible as The Ring.:

I think their 154lb rankings are appalling, but good stuff, other than that.

I've never heard about that site. Must admit its a pretty solid list they have
RING lost it's credibility when they gave Casamayor the RING title after jobbing Santa Cruz in the robbery of the decade.
They didn't give it to him, they fail to strip him of it. That's normally a tough call with a robbery, where do you draw the line. but this one was really the worst, no exaggeration.
Yep, it's shameful. Canelo's 2nd best win is still a shot Mosley. A better version of Mosley at a better weight for him was graded by many posters as an F as a Pac win.
But they pulled a neat trick. They appointed Chuck Giampa as head of p4p ratings, and gave him total control. So when people say the rankings are corrupt, they can just say, Chuck made that call, nothing we can do about it. Our hands are clean.
Exactly. Whenever you get mad at The Ring ratings, just remember this is the guy that's calling the shots:
Have they updated since last night? And I don't think manny should be that high. He lost 2 in a row on paper
They didn't penalize him for Bradley since they all had it a rout for Pac. So it's really a good result, he made easy work of an undefeated p4per

Loved hearing Teddy Atlas give them a shout out during FNF.
