Hatton still ranked number 8 pound for pound by the Ring magazine

[Jim Jeffries]

Winky Wright stayed on the list after moving up in weight and losing to Bernard, who wasn't even #1, so why not?

the ring magazine recognizes a true warrior.

That is why Floyd is number one


Ricky Hatton is very hard to beat his style really tires people and akward.


I think he could beat Paulie if he comes close and clinch and punch but Witter is another story. He needs to make his punchs more compact and short so he wont be counter like what happen in Mayweather fight.

do you watch birds fighting then, who's your No1 then a crow

ooo nice sophisticated language you are using there. You're telling me that you never typed anything wrong? Please when I'm trying to put up a post in 2 seconds so that my boss doesn't see me and I get something spelt wrong forgive my TERRIBLE spelling mistakes. **** OFF

[Jim Jeffries]

actually I put no credence whatsoever on the ring considering they scored DLH-Mayweather 115-114. plus they named Vitali heavyweight champ and ranked Hopkins ahead of Taylor immediately after Taylor beat Hopkins TWICE. The Ring knows nothing now that you bring it up

Therefore their #1 spot means nothing right?

[DiegoFuego]

Just as an aside, who wins out of Pavlik and Hopkins?

I'd probably pick Hopkins to beat Pavlik right now, but I don't know. Hopkins hasn't shown me anything lately to make me think he can beat a relentless puncher like Pavlik, much less Calzaghe

To answer a couple people in one post:

1) Floyd is everyone's #1, not just The Ring's. This is the same magazine that had Hopkins ranked ahead of Roy on the list for beating Trinidad, despite Roy rolling over his opposition and looking good doing it. Just because The Ring picks the guy EVERYONE picks doesn't mean they are intelligent at that magazine. It means they have no choice because if they could have another guy as #1, believe me, they would.

2) No, I don't think any of the main writers, contributors to the Ring have anything worthwhile to say. Nigel Collins is a complete moron and he's in charge over there. I think Bert Sugar runs the whole thing, and we all know how ******ed that "boxing historian" is. Now that Oscar owns it, I expect it to get a lot worse. I stopped buying the ****in thing 2 years ago.

WOW, just WOW.

[El Jesus]

Or 2. Floyd is definitely number one, no question.

no one should be overtaking pacman at number 2.

[DiegoFuego]

WOW, just WOW.

did you not understand my post? I said I'd pick Hopkins based on his past accomplishments, but I wasn't confident at all in it and would wait til he gets closer to fighting to pick one way or another against Calzaghe OR Pavlik. Slow?

Are you ******ed or something?
Just pick a fighter what you said makes no sense.
