Pacquiao Ranked 5th At 147 By The Ring

[Silencers]

http://www.thering-online.com/ratings/welterweight/

Welterweight: As THE RING has done with a few elite fighters in the past, Pacquiao is now rated in two divisions: welterweight and lightweight. It’s a
strange situation, as he will probably fight Hatton at junior welterweight next, but we couldn’t rank him there as he’s never fought at 140 pounds. Whenever possible, THE RING’s Editorial Board (with the participation of the Ratings Panel of boxing journalists from around the world) base fighter rankings on results within the division. Kermit Cintron, rated No. 10 last week, was pushed
out by Pacquiao’s inclusion.

So does he deserve this ranking?

[nujabes77]

yes because he beat the golden boy and no because he only fought once in the division

DLH has been ranked at 154 for the past few years though but the fight was at 147.

[KILLA RIGHT]

This is a ****en joke. Oscar isnt even a fighter at 147 so who he beat? A fighter that is the 50 best welterweight in the world?

[Left Hook Tua]

i don't agree.

maybe top 10 at 154. oscar was still top 10 at 154 'cause that division is crap. lol

147? no. 147 is stacked.

[Caxcan]

lol, how do you rank a guy in the top 5 when he wouldnt stand a chance against any of the top 10? people are really drinking the manny koolaid after beating a completely shot fighter.

[Silencers]

I agree with you guys, he shouldn't be ranked in the top 10 at 147.

The ring is tarnishing it's ruputation for doing this ****** move... but wait, oscar owns the ring mag, right?

[nujabes77]

pacman is the best boxer in the world right now hence the p4p king title, so in a way he deserves it

but he fought at 147 against a 154 pounder, how the heck can he be ahead of quintana for example?
