    10 of 17 RING titles are now vacant.

    With all the hubbub about the new RING P4P rankings, I decided to take a look at their regular ratings and was stunned to discover that of 17 weight classes, 10 of the RING titles are now VACANT!

    That includes SMW where their new number 2 P4P fighter, Andre Ward, is not even ranked in the top 10.

    What is going on over at RING?

    When PBC has the largest stable and everyone is fighting soft touches, I understand why the ring titles are vacant. Where have the real fighters gone?

      Crawford vs winner of Matthysse/Postol should decide who gets that The Ring belt.

        Maybe points to the fact that not enough top fighters are fighting each other?

        If we are honest too Adonis Stevenson and JPHernandez are very lucky to still be considered Ring champions.

          Lawls, Ward's P4P rating is hilarious. If Ward loses his next fight, I'll be curious to see if the people who defend the rating will give the other guy full credit.

            I'm not a Stevenson fan but he defends on a regular basis and is well within the RING rules to hold on to his title. No idea regarding Hernandez as I do not follow Cruiserweight.

                why would he be rated in the top 10 of a division that he hasn't fought in for almost 2 years?

                  I thought the entire reason why they changed their rules and ruined their credibility was that so they could avoid these situations?

                    Good. Anything that shows up the lack of true champions in the sport is a good thing.
