    people were su****ious of a boxing promoter influencing the bible of boxing and those people's su****ions have been confirmed with the shady p4p rankings of canelo and broner.
    Have any boxing journalists openly started to question the Ring's objectivity and integrity? I still see many writers putting a lot of stock in the Ring ratings and holding them up as more pure than the alphabet soup ones.

        If one guy weighs 146 and the other guy weighs 154 then it is a WW bout? You are not even reading what we are writing.

        There is no lower limit. Some people thought that, but it was wrong. There is no lower limit. They set a maximum but not a minimum because there is no need for a minimum (assuming a competent commission, which is actually a bad assumption but that is another matter).

        Please don't tell me I am supposed to have you on ignore. I know - I am trying.

              Umm, okay, looks like you better revoke dozens of world titles that have been won over the past 130 years, then.

                  No that fight would not be commissioned as both fighters would belong to two different divisions. I will try this once more. EVERY fight has to fall within a sanctioned weight division. There is NO weight division called catchweight. This is a made up term that does not appear in the rules. Not over 154 is JMW. You are right there is no lower limit but there is a welterweight division below it and any fighter weighing not over 147 would be a welterweight. Therefore JMW is not over 154 and not a welterweight. If a fighter weighed in as a welterweight for a JMW bout, the fight would not take place. As a fight HAS to be in a sanctioned weight division, if they are not over 154 and not a welterweight, they HAVE to be a JMW.

                    You are plain wrong, though. It has happened many times before over the course of the history of the sport.
