    P4P list, why isn't Rungvisai in top ten?

    Serious question, he just damn well beat Roman Gonzalez and before people mention robbery or whatever, well I didn't see the robbery label effect Wards chances of hitting into top 10, in fact since Roman lost Ward became P4P 1 with The Ring, how is that?

    Currently they have the following
    1. Ward
    2. Kovalev
    3. GGG
    4. Roman Gonzalez
    5. Terence Crawford
    6. Lomachenko
    7. Rigo
    8. Canelo
    9. Yamanaka
    10. Inoue


    So what the f**k is up with these people?
    They don't mind giving Ward the number 1 spot for what the majority including Ward fans thought was a bad decision or not the right one, but when Rungvisai beats the guy who Ring had as the number 1 guy he can't even break into the god damn top 10!?

    The agenda is real!

    Sorry if this was already talked about, just noticed it recently and it kinda took me by surprise to not see his name in there.

    I'm honestly really confused about how these rankings all work out. Danny Garcia became the mandatory for the WBA after losing a fight? Yamanaka seems like a paper champion at best and he's #9. Do people even know who Yamanaka is?

        I've heard of him, yes, but I've not gone to the extent of watching him.
        ESPN had a P4P list out as well that also doesn't include Rungvisai in the top 10, to me, this is just a huge slap in the face for that fighter If you can give Ward a pass then why can't you give Rungvisai a pass and his due props?!?

        Very unprofessional in my opinion.

          Hey, I agree that Rungo should be in the p4p top 10 if the ring is only going off of official results. The Wrad example is pertinent but like you said, there's an agenda. There is no money to be made by promoting a little asian fighter in a division no one watches who has zero traction with any american tv channel.

            One good win doesn't mean much, a fighter has to prove to be consistent, that's why

              Well he won a close controversial fight. Also, P4P factors in skill and a string of fights. I wouldn't pick him for a rematch.

                I would think he belongs in the top 10 as well

                  Actually, Rungvisai probably should have had a win over pimple back, but sadly he got robbed out of that one, his record is pretty decent I underestimated before watching him fight him like you're doing right

                  Ward won a controversial decision and he had not done much *edit* since his return to pro boxing and in fact, he wasn't in the top ten before the Kovalev fight.

                  Both ESPN and Ring still have Roman Gonzalez in the top 5 P4P rankings and they still have Kovalev in the top 5 despite both who apparently lost be it controversial or not, you can't just decide who gets a pass and who doesn't, there is a clear biased agenda going on and it's B.S.

                    Hatton was boosted up to #2 P4P when he beat Kostya Tszyu though.
