Ring Magazine has official reached trash status, thanks Oscar

[therealpugilist]

1)stripping champions who didn't vacate or move up

2)Ronda Rousey on the cover when Holly Holm is a 3 division champion and in many eyes represented boxing in a fight pitting two near prime fighters one MMA one a world class boxer

3) the writers let their personal bias spew out in the mailbags and articles

4) targeting fighters who are not under their umbrella and trashing them in articles

5) the quality of articles isn't near as good and I had a subscription from 1995 until 2003 when I went off to college. I would by them off the newsstand after that.

6) ringtyvonline bashes fighters instead of promoting the sport we love

I'll talk to Holly and see what she can do.

[R_Walken]

Yup

It's a damn shame

Oscar has ruined that brand from the inside. Used to be regarded as the bible of boxing now it's becoming a joke.

Agree with everything but one 1 and 3.

It's by time Ring started stripping guys if they're not fighting top comp and Stevenson come has been fuqing pathetic. From Bellew to Kapency.

And the mail bag is the part of the magazine where you are suppose to give your opinion. What else are they suppose to do?

Having a champion face 1 top 5 opponent in 2 years is a good decision, imo

They just need to reverse the decision they made before, allowing rank 2 vs rank 5 be eligible for a championship. It should be strictly 1 vs 2 in line with other recognised forms of lineage

Your complaints about bias/magazine cover doesn't bother me really. I understand them though. Lets separate their championship from their magazine, when it comes to discussions like this

Well then why didn't you say that in your post instead of trying to be amusing and make yourself laugh.

I stand corrected! I agree! Should have not tried to amuse myself.
Thanks for bringing it to me in a polite way!
