Broner ranked #5 P4P by ring magazine WTF?

[Bushidō]

hmm that's a bit high but I guess they valued the deMarco domination highly

[The Hammer]

1. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. okay #1

2. Andre Ward too high #6

3. Juan Manuel Marquez Should be higher #2

4. Sergio Martinez Should be higher #3

5. Adrien Broner Should be about #12

6. Nonito Donaire Should be higher #5

7. Manny Pacquiao I agree with this #7

8. Wladimir Klitschko Should be higher #4

9. Timothy Bradley Should be about #11

10. Robert Guerrero I agree with this #10

Add Abner Mares #8 and Carl Froch #9

He is a very promising young fighter but he has not done near enough to even be in the top 10 pfp.. Oscar promotes him and Oscar owns Ring magazine.

I'm not going to place any faith in the Ring ratings any more. I've just deleted The Ring website from the favorites I look at every day.

Cliff Rold's boxingscene rankings are better.

Interestingly, there used to be about 30 people vote on the Ring rankings, now there's only Chuck Giampa and these 9 guys:

Mike Coppinger
Martin Mulcahey
Mark Ortega
Ryan Maquinana
Ryan ********
Harry Pratt
Anson Wainwright
Joe Koizumi
Corey Erdman

How do you agree with Boxing Scene's rankings? Billy Goat Ward #1? Come on man, I thought you were a better poster than this.

This is a joke. If anything I rank Camelot higher then Broner at this point. Broner is probably #16 on my list

[loui_ludwig]

Being biased here but Brian Viloria should at least be #10.

[IronDanHamza]

Oscar de lha Hoya

Does he actually?

Or do all the writers do a vote?

P4P rankings aren't like standard rankings where you need to go through a ladder of talent to get to the top. P4P is a snappy way of saying "all weights being equal, who's the most talented". Its not about who have you beaten to merit a place amongst your peers in other divisions. It's a hypothetical, and furthermore based on opinions to form some kind of consensus. We can argue(or agree) all day about the Ring's board being sh_t but at the end of the day it's not that bad of a list. Just my 2 cents.

[Light_Speed]

What a disgrace. The Ring lost what little credibility it had left.

[Dr Rumack]

This is a farce. I'm surprised they didn't try to squeeze Berto in there as well
