    There is a difference between divisional ratings and P4P and one should be taken FAR more seriously than the other...and it ain't P4P. The divisional ratings are still fairly strong and, since most fights still happen in divisions and fighters aim for titles in divisions, that matters most. P4P is nothing but a circle wank of the imagination.

      The ring 100 is outdated now. The ring 100 was published before stuff like Darchinyan beat Mijares happened.

      Golden Boy doesn't influence **** in the ratings. They haven't favored a golden boy fighter at all.
      They got the loss on Peters record, so they updated that already. Darchinyan-Mijares has nothing to do with what I mentioned. Only fighters that do matter in what I mentioned were Hatton, Malignaggi, Williams and Phillips. In no way would Vic beating Mijares make Hatton jump ahead of Williams and Phillips to suddenly be ranked lower then Malignaggi.

          Hatton was always highly ranked P4P, but dropped due to his piss poor performance against Lazcano. He bounced back and entered the pound for pound. I think Caballero being there is worse then Hatton to be honest.

            I don't really have a problem with Hatton being there. It's just weird to me that Williams was ranked higher and beat a higher ranked fighter, but Hatton is the one who shots up to #8 P4P.

                I don't agree with all of the ratings, like Sergei D should be ranked higher, but they aren't biased imo.
                It's not that I think Spinks isn't good, but what has he done lately? I just checked and they have Sergei at #7, he has to be top 4, he is undefeated and has a belt, there is no justifiable reason for Williams to be above him at 154.....

                  Dzinziruk is WAY too low and I've advised as much. He should be #1.

                    Why would anyone give ANY credability to a magazine that is owned by a promtional company? The Ring magazine is full of ****.......
