The guy is an epic moron. Possibly a criminal. As far as this issue IDC.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.

Resume and activity during the past few years.
He was competitive in the last three rounds of his fight with Glazkov (as if to say "I'm not finished yet").
He took a bad beating, but showed tremendous heart. Anyone who doesn't like a ring warrior like Adamek isn't a real boxing fan, or has some kind of agenda against Poles.
He's #7.
But Adamek is still there at #8, and rightfully so.Comment

Why the hell is Helenius still on there?
Adamek must be taken off the list. He's looked really bad in his last 4 fights and took a beating at the hands of Czar Glazkov.Comment

Last meaningful fight was Cunningham, a fight which he clearly lost and looked awful.
His last meaningful fight before that was Eddie Chambers. Another fight I felt he lost (Close fight)
His last meaningful win before that was Arreloa which was 4 years ago.
His resume at HW is pretty piss poor, let's be honest.
He's done nothing at HW, for years. Even if you count the Cunnginham win as a win (Which it wasn't) that was like a year and a half ago.
He has no place in the Top 10 at HW.
Thompson should be there over Adamek any day of the week. His two wins over Price and his win over Solis are better than anything Adamek has ever done at HW and they were recent wins aswell.Comment

Very true unsurprisingly that was a career shortening beating.
Adamek's a tough guy but even without the recent loss he doesn't belong on a Top 10 list but I can see the argument but after the recent loss? Come on.
The HW division is not great but it's not so bad that a current Adamek is amongst the 10 best fighters in it.Comment
