How does the Ring have Joel Casamayor above Juan Diaz at LW, and have Corey Spinks as their #1 JR MW and DLH as #3 (lost 3 of his last 5, 2 fights in 3 years), Zab Judah (1 win in his last 5) over Kermit Cintron (world champ), Hopkins as LHW champ (no world belt), Valuev above unbeaten world champ Ibragimov, etc, etc?

Becasue they want to -
well...
A) Joel Casamayor was considered THE lightweight champ prior to the Cruz debacle, coming off a close win over the Late Corrales
B) Cintron hasnt fought an elite fighter since Margarito, whom he lost to. Judah is coming off of 2 closely contested losses to fighters many people have in there top 5 p4p.
C) Hopkins beat THE LHW champ in Antonio Tarver, and followed it up with a win over Winky Wright.
D) Idk about the Valuev over Ibragimov, but Ibragimovs best win prior to Holyfield was Briggs... and his best win may still be Briggs cause Holyfield looked preeeeeeetty shot.Comment

Casamayor is above because he's "The Ring's champion"
and how is Luis Collazo STILL in the top 10 welterweights when all he did in 2007 was lose by UD to Shane Mosley? I know it makes zero sense .. but hey its the Bible of Boxing right?
people really should start to take the Ring Magazine less seriously, not because it was brought by DLH, but because its ranking have bias ... yeah so do the sanctioning organizations, but a magazine also has bias as well
Juan Diaz doesn't care about the Ring Title. why should we the fans?Comment

Casamayor won the linear from Corrales in oct 2006.
Casa hasn't retired, left the division, or officially lost a fight.
you don't take away someone's belt because you disagree with the decision.
joe louis didn't lose his crown after the first walcott fight. alfredo escalera didn't lose his wba belt after the everett fight. michael spinks didn't lose his ibf/ring belts because he got lucky against holmes the 2nd time around.Comment
