The Ring is finished.

[Bigg Rigg]

Idk what's worst, Rigo not being on it after beating a top 5 P4P fighter or Broner now being ranked #5. And he's not fighting anyone within miles of cracking the P4P list.

[stormfroe]

hope this TBRB sticks to what they are trying to attain. but in the end, sadly.. some entity will buy the site. happens all the time.

no complain in they're rankings.

props to who ever brought this up here, thread bashing on the Ring ranking.

[Phenom]

Cleaning out a division with ease, and being a multi-weight champion is on a level playing field to me. Just beating 1 fighter in the division, regardless if he's seen as the best there or not, doesn't warrant the same type of recognition to me. It's only one style of fighter that has been beaten, not everyone in the division. 168 was HOT at the time.

That's why I rank Ward way higher than Rigo.

I agree but using that logic of Rigo only fighting at 122 Ward didn't do **** at 160

and can we stop saying Ward cleaned out the division he beat Kessler and Froch props to him but he didnt fight Dirrell brothers Pascal or Bute beating Bika AA and Allen green is not cleaning out the division

[MartinC]

After dominating a world class fighter like Donaire, they've still decided not to rank Rigondeaux, who they concede is the best 122lber in the world. As if that wasn't obscene enough, and it really is quite obscene when you think about it, Donaire stays in the rankings; this is where it gets good, though, Donaire moves down to 10 allowing everyone else to move up one place. Adrien Broner is now the number 5 pound-for-pound fighter in the world having overcome the awesome might of Antonio Demarco and Gavin fucking Rees.

As I said, finished as even a semi-credible source.

There are no creditable sources for ranking. Look at B@xrec. Look at the WBC/WBA/WBO. It's not rocket science, but if it was they would all blow themselves up!

He dominated the top of the division in Abraham, Kessler and Froch, though admittedly he didn't fight Bute and that's a matchup i'm still keen on. However, Bute and Pascal no longer fight at the weight, and 1 Dirrell is injured, the other is stuck at the bottom of the division. At the time, Ward couldn't have fought them due to the S6.

The point I was trying to make with the cleaning out thing, is that Ward is undisputed the Champ at 168, and theres quite a margin between him and those under him. In order for Rigo to do that, he'd have to outclass the rest of the top of this division, and i'd see him in the same light

Well to be fair, Pascal is not a SMW, Froch handled Bute before Ward would have had a chance, and the Dirrell brothers appear to be stuck in SMS career limbo right now. Beating Dawson, even if you believe he was drained, was a damn good win for Ward.

Bute?

The Dirrell's, well one can't seem to get his head on straight, the other has been through more life crap then just about anybody.

I can see a gripe about Pascal.

[thuggery]

but beating Antonio Fucking DeMarco is really more deserving of a p4p ranking? smh.

im not even surprised though tbh, the RING is a joke.

All that needed to be said.

Green k sent.....

[Check_hooks]
