Ring Magazine has official reached trash status, thanks Oscar

[Hougigo]

Yup, when people actually follow their rule, it seems weird and out of place

[Hougigo]

but they're selectively following their rules for political gain, just like the sanctioning bodies do.

stevenson's last "ring top 5" defense, SEPTEMBER 2013. stripped.

rigondeaux's last "ring top 5" defense, APRIL 2013. not stripped.

so how exactly are they following the "rules?"

Well he should be stripped then too because he's not abiding by the rules.

The Ring brand has gone to sh.it recently for a variety of reasons

The Ring brand used to hold weight and even if people don't buy magazines it still could have leveraged it's brand into other platforms. I would say it used to be the Bible of Boxing But it's become a mockery of what it once was.

stripping champions who didn't vacate or move up

Dude do ever praise anything non Floyd related?

Ring has been propaganda sense Oscar purchased it. Either outright or by influence. Also who the f#ck is still buying magazines in 2015, boxing or w/e, any damn way.

I still subscribe to Ring Magazine.

I love looking through the old versions.

..tell you hero to grow a pair and fight a middleweight @ middleweight


bum boxing fan

With Floyd as your lord and savior yall have no room to tell anyone about catchweights and fight at certain weight. Your lord and savior fought many a fight at catcheweights and burned a fighter on the scales (Marquez)

There is bias in everything but the writers for Ring Magazine (the website) are mostly excellent and are certainly not an anti-haymon crusade.

They stripped Stevenson, right? So. Look who he has been fighting. Thats a good thing.

He may have ducked the first time vs. Stevenson - but this last time, he was ready to go through with the purse bid and it was Kovalev who pulled out because he wouldn't consider fighting off HBO.

So because Kovalev ducked a few months ago, that means Stevenson gets stripped?!?!

They stripped super duck? Sweet.

But if Mayweather promotions had bought it you'd be quoting it as if was the word of GOD.

Pretty much this here ha
