    Yeah with Amir Khan not even being in the top 10 P4P, and Pacquiao being #1 P4P and #1 WW with his BS fights lately, a Top Rank fighter. Another Top Rank fighter being #1 at 154, with wins over Foreman and Mayorga. Three more Top Rank fighters in the top 10 P4P, including Segura WTF is he doing there.

    Only one GBP fighter in the top P4P, and he's #10.

    The Ring is very biased.

        Who would you have ranked ahead of him at 154? I guess you could make a good argument he doesnt belong at the top of that division considering his lack of a great resume at the weight.

              Who do you take out of the top 10 to put Amir in and what great win makes you think he belongs in that elite list?

              Usually people say it has a GB bias since its owned by Oscar but i have never heard this before. I personally dont see any bias even if some of its rankings might be up for debate.

                ther is always going to be a debate....

                and not everyone will agree....

                but i think that they do the best job and they dont seem to have an agenda.

                  the magazine and their rankings aren't biased.

                  I think their website golden boy uses as a promotional tool for some of their fighters though.

                  So I would separate the actual magazine/rankings and their website.

                    ^^ Williams Dzinziruk Angulo Lara Molina Cintron even Alvarez did more work at that weight then Cotto


                    you can't tell me if it was Wolak who beat Foreman and Mayorga he would be the #1 in the division

                      Alvarez are you serious? I dont think The Ring only uses resume's to rank a fighter but im not sure what the exact criteria is for ranking fighters.

                      Im not necessarily disagreeing with you on this certain point but its up for debate and i dont see the magazine as having a bias.
