Does anyone remember when Michael Rosenthal said this about ranking fighters?

[Redd Foxx]

Explain how his stance on Floyd for years putting Manny ahead of him for the same basis he has now flip flopped to hold against Canelo? I'll wait for you to make a logic explaination on this drastic change because he felt Manny was p4p and fighter of the decade despite losses, draws, controversial wins and the excuses was he fighting the best and that means more then just winning against lesser competition. Now that don't hold true anymore? Why are black and white Mexican fighters held to these bizarre inconsistent standards from Rosenthal? Meanwhile GGG gained #1 P4p label by beating who by proving what? Had that label before he even fought Jacobs his first top middleweight. Meanwhile black and Mexican need to keep proving and showing more? And the bar just keeps moving and changing.

The point went over your head. He's a fking WRITER. Maybe you put journalists on pedestals and trust everything they say but the rest is the world just shrugs and moves on. If a writer said your favorite new movie was good but not the best, would you shyt yourself over that too?

You're giving this guy's opinion waaaay too much importance.

I think hes angry because this writer actually has a lot more importance than you think(he holds ton of sway as do several who HATE canelo & will vote against him when it counts 4 his legacy.. These writers robbed floyd of fighter of the decade & that greatly affected his career in some form or another.(its arguable whether it actually helped him by making pac look better than he was thereby making their fight more lucrative,but you can't argue that these writers especially the well connected ones don't affect fighters entire careers;

look at how espn has used loma/crawford supposedly being#1 p4p @ every opportunity to hype their mismatches & in the process they have benefitted greatly & as a result they have also been overhyped with nonsense terms as" the greatest of all time"(I can post several articles from prominent sites/networks that say that cringeworthy nonsense about loma.)

You cant deny that these writers wield enormous power & being the mythical p4p #1 is how mayweather made himself so unbelievably rich/famous & considered so great. Imagine if they would've pulled this goalpost moving on him when he 1st became #1 by beating the best.
