You don't need to look at rankings in ring magazine. Just watching the fight you can see that Louis is far from his best. There was time where he kept Marciano at bay with his long reach, but he didn't have the stamina to keep up any type of pace by which to win. Louis was overweight and slow by the time of the fight. Louis had no real heart by which to win either, he was fighting for money, not to win or prove himself.
Louis wins over other boxers just shows how poor the competition was at that time. Forget rankings and magazines, watch the fight and see what an ill miss match it was.
