Why does everyone still rank Andre Ward in their p4p ranking.

[ИATAS]

I know who Ward beat but I also know Ward hasn't fought anyone in over a year nor did he have a fight schedule before a years time.

What's the point of having rules when people just ignore them to fit their agenda.

Ward hasn't fought in a year so no one should rank him until he does.

What rules do you speak of? Pound 4 pound is subjective. Rules apply to titles and divisional rankings, not a mythical rankings that mean f#ck all

But he didn't have one before September 8 and since he didn't he should be taken off any p4p list until he fights again.

It doesn't matter if the fight was scheduled before then. Go see the Ring magazine rules.

There is no rule that a fighter has to fight in a 1yr window.

There is a rule, the fighter must either have a fight within a year or at least have one scheduled.

That's a Ring magazine rule and that's the one I reguard as the only one that matters.

That's why Vitali was dumped from the rankings, unfortunately.

[Check_hooks]

It doesn't make any sense and I don't take any list seriously if they have him on there

So you can sit on your ass for over a year and still be a top P4P fighter? I guess Derrick Rose was the real MVP last year than #GTFOH

I have Orlando Cruz higher on my P4P list than Ward and so should everybody else

Actually, The Ring has always stated that as long as a fight is scheduled it wont affect a fighter's rankings if over one year of inactivity. If however no fight is scheduled after one year then they are yanked. This could also be confusing in regards to The Ring belt since the only way to lose it is retire or lose.

You need to go back and read what I was responding to in order to understand the context of my post

I can't see any logical way you can consider him to be in the Top 3 P4P.

That is an MMA P4P rule

That's because you are a hater & its hard for haters to see logically

[The Ninth Layer]

Ward is obviously a top P4P fighter now and there's no reason to remove him from personal rankings when most of us are just going to put him back at #2 when he demolishes Rodriguez anyway.

It's not like Ward retired, we all know he's had trouble finding an opponent.
