    Tony Thompson mistreated by RING

    We all know the RING are trashy when it comes to ratings. It took them a long time to realise Rigo was P4P worthy and had placed Broner and Canelo in undeserving positions.

    Chuck Giampa is the person behind the Ring's ratings. His latest rating change is ******ed for one glaring omission.

    Tony Thompson.

    After beating Solis (ranked 8th by Ring) and easily being considered a top 10 fighter by most pundits this writer believes Tony can't make the cut because he has failed in big fights.

    What idiotic reasoning is that? Using that concept, you may as well wash away most fighters from these lists.

    Heavyweight: No. 8-rated Odlanier Solis (20-2-1, 13 knockouts) dropped a split-decision to veteran gatekeeper Tony Thompson. Solis will be dropped from the ratings. Thompson, who has been rated in THE RING’s top 10 before, will not enter due to his losses in big fights. Unbeaten American standout Bryant Jennings (18-0, 10 KOs) will enter at the No. 10 spot, while Deontay Wilder and Tomasz Adamek both move up one notch to Nos. 9 and 8.

      Joke reasoning from Giampa. Thompson is top 10, just because he lost to the Champ Klitschko and #1 contender Pulev doesn't mean he should be overlooked for opponents who haven't proven anything.

          I don't really care much about the order between most of these guys, but the one that's truly wasting space in the list is Helenius. Hasn't done anything of note in years.

              I agree.

              After beating Solis, Thompson should have entered the top 10 with Odlanier's exit.

                    Adamek should remain, but Helenius should exit and be replaced by Thompson.
