    Yup. That's how I see it. At the end of the day, barring some insane robbery or foolishness, Saturday determines all.

    Can't ****ing wait.

      That said, it's always good to keep things in context. I remember when they had Pea #1 for far too long. Made Oscar #1 for no real good reason. And so forth and so forth. So while it's good to look back and read, Lord knows I always remember to use my own head too.
      Yeah they have had some questionable rankings for sure.

      But for the most part solid. Even today, I think their rankings are good. Even though people critisize them.

      The actual magazine is terrible though these days.

Floyd is higher on my all-time list than Manny is. And on the Ring's list too. Oh, and on irondan's too. No need to be confused, we're all here to help you get your feeble mind right.
        ok. i trust you.

        for a second there i thought you were adamant about morales not being #2 with you yourself not knowing where he should be ranked.

        you have made me see the light.

          Yeah to be honest, I haven't read their mag in a long time. And yup, agree that they are solid for the most part when it comes to rankings. I think Tua's just a little butthurt because while they may have ranked Morales #2 at 130, his coming off a decisive loss to Morales greatly discounts the win for Pacquiao. That context thing again.

            Wasn't hard. You already consider the Ring the standard. So what else is there to say when they place Floyd dozens and dozens higher than Manny?

                Sometimes you have to put things in proper context, Tua. Who was #2 at LHW in 2006? Zsolt Erdei according to the Ring. Context. Erik Morales got soundly whitewashed by Raheem. So no, I wasn't impressed by what Pacquiao did after. Especially, forcing him down to a weight he didn't want and then with all that weight penalty crap. I don't rate it very highly or I'd have to consider Raheem a god or some ****.

                  that's fine. put it in context.

                  but answer who was #2 at 130 in 2006.

                  we've gone at it over this for 4 hours.

                  least you can do is tell me who was #2 at 130 in 2006. since it's not morales.

                    I think you missed the point. You can put Morales at #2. The point is that, like beating #2 Zsolt Erdei...it doesn't matter. That's if you put in context as you just claimed.

                      if i can call him #2.... if ring had him #2....

                      why then have we argued about me calling him #2?

                      this is what it was all about.

                      you think it wasn't a good win. that's fine. but he was #2 in the division.
