    Ring Magazine articles about Pavlik, Cotto, and Peter contradict!

    Here's two articles on The Ring website today I'd like to bring to your attention. The first is by Eric Raskin.

    The article is basically saying there are NO excuses for Kelly Pavlik losing, and he simply isn't as good as Hopkins, and there are no excuses for Cotto losing to Margarito either! Here it is:

    Acceptance and Denial

    There's a second article by another Ring writer, Michael Rosenthal, which is MAKING EXCUSES for Sam Peter's losing to Vitali Klitschko! "Peter didn’t look like the fierce Peter of old" writes Rosenthal "It was as if he didn’t show up."

    Why did Peter struggle vs Klitschko?

    That's quite a double standard those Ring Magazine writers have! It it possible they are fans of Peter but don't like Cotto or Pavlik?

        Pavlik's got no excuse, Cotto might possibly have an excuse, and Peter has no excuse for gettin their asses whipped.

          You are concerned because those writers have a double standard, instead of a sense of fairness and good sportsmanship. You want them to treat all the fighters the same instead of making excuses for those they like, and saying there's no excuse for those they don't like.

          I agree the professional writers shouldn't be like fanboys.

          Good stuff Tunney!
          Fixed it for you.

                Could it be that two different writers have two different opinions? I know it is shocking... but it happens.

                  No Kostya, I was alluding to the fact that these writers are fanboys of certain fighters, and dislike others.

                  They should rise above that a bit, it's not PROFESSIONAL.

                    it must be nationalistic pride. Ring Magazine writers love American fighters, which is why they didnt make excuses for Cotto and Pavlik, the two American fighters, and made excuses for Sam Peter, the Nigerian.

                    American bias
