Ring Belts-are a paper belt-ask Michael Spinks

[DC Fight Fan]

I'd like to know how GBP influences the ratings now. I'm waiting for answer.

Are you kidding me? They own the ratings! Sure they have to stay PC when it comes to the obvious in order to sell magazines. But if you don't think they influence the ratings you are drinking Oscar's Kool Aid my friend.

The Ring belt may be paper but you can't just buy it by paying off some sanctioning body official. It is not availible to the highest bidder.

They aren´t available to the best fighters of the division either.

Vasquez made his mandatory defense against Caballero yet? Has he even fought a top ten super-bantamweight besides Rafa in the last four years?

How about Hopkins. Dawson, Pascal, Cloud, Brähmer, Erdei? Anyone good under the age of 37? Maybe fight more than once a year?

Manny gearing up for his title defense against Timonthy Bradley yet. Btw do ring title defenses have random blood testing?

At least Wlad is fighting Chambers and Povetkin. Damn, those are alphabet mandatories.

Ring Magazine is so awesome.

Just because they own the magazine, they don't make payoffs to influence GBP fighters get ranked higher. I'll ask again, what decisions have been made to suggest that GBP has a factor in the ratings.

I'm waiting for it. Just because they own the magazine doesn't mean that it effects the ratings. They said when they bought it, it wouldn't happen and so far based off the changes, they haven't.

So I'd like to know some examples.
