New Ring Magazine Rankings

[Kris Silver]

I'm still just pissed at the situation. I like Cotto a lot, but it's by no means the norm that there's a quick re match when a fight is merely relatively close these days. Here Cotto's #2 at WW, there's one more fight each and their straight in when he was stopped.

Meanwhile PW actually has a win over Margarito, fought twice at Welter in 08 which is twice more than say Shane Mosely whom is still #3 at WW, had a belt, has wanted Marg at WW asap...and gets **** all? Hardly seems fair.

Paul Williams may technically be considered a Jnr MW but it's a bit of a thin excuse to it all. What has Shane Mosely done in 08 to earn #3 WW spot? Nothing. What has PW done in 08 at WW, fought twice which is twice more than Shane, one of which an avenge and brutal KO over a top guy, before that a win over THE present top guy. Just doesn't seem balanced to me.

I appreciate that means you can't rank him in all of them and it's tricky, but there's no guarantee's in what division he'll fight in next and he's tried to fight in the WW division after a win over a top guy in Quintana. Further still he beat the guy whom is ******ly super champion, and can't get a rematch of look in for a Ring title shot at WW for ****. I just think it's very unfair, and I'm not sure I'll consider Cotto or Marg the real ring champion unless one goes on to beat PW I'm afraid. Sorry.

I guess GBP shouldnt have bought it then? I thought he wanted the 147 lbs belt to lure Mayweather into a rematch.

I know about the ranking procedures. I was joking.

so you're saying they bought it to be crooked with the rankings? how can GBP ever justify ranking pac and dlh #1 and #2 and ww????

To earn some more cash obviously and to get the Mayweather return.

Rogelio I am joking still. DLH knows not to play with an institution as Ring Magazine.

The Ring is bogus, Marquez #1 at Lightweight? he must be a golden boy fighter, how'd he leapfrog Pacquiao after losing twice?

Because he beat Casamayor, who was the linear Ring champ at the time. Simple stuff.

Tell this to the people who say Pwill is the #1 WW. They need to hear it homey. Just talkin bout the #1 spot tho, no linear title.

**** the RING! its no better than the other fraudulent sanctioning bodies.

[pigdestroyer]

good. we'll find out who's the man at 147.

unless......shane messes it up...... (very possible)

Now I don't think I've read why yet... but can someone explain why Margarito is interested in Mosley and why this fight is happening? I'm not against it but I'd like to know why it's happening.

What I don't understand is why Mosley hopped to the number 3 WW spot. Mosley lost to Cotto, than fought Mayorga at 154. The mere fact that he landed a fight with the number 1 after getting an unimpressive win at 154 and losing his last fight at 147 means he should get the #3 ranking? That makes zero sense to me, there's no way he should have hopped Clottey.

Exactly why I question why he's getting the fight. But his win was good at 154 was good. So If anyone can explain this to me, I'd be all ears.
