Cliff Rold's boxingscene rankings are better.
Interestingly, there used to be about 30 people vote on the Ring rankings, now there's only Chuck Giampa and these 9 guys:
Mike Coppinger
Martin Mulcahey
Mark Ortega
Ryan Maquinana
Ryan ********
Harry Pratt
Anson Wainwright
Joe Koizumi
Corey Erdman

I wouldn't rate Broner over Donaire at all (or in the top ten yet), and I'd still have Pac, Froch, and Mares ahead of him. Ring has their take. Take it as you will.

For those who don't know, Ring's list is entirely composed by one guy: Chuck Giampa.
From the article on the new ratings: Due to the recent activity among elite fighters in the past few months, here is Giampa’s updated Pound-for-Pound Top 10 list (Editor’s Note: the mythical pound-for-pound rankings are not compiled with input from the Ratings Panel as the divisional ratings are):
They need to get the staff back involved.

I used to subscribed to Ring mag. Now, i just buy it once in a while. The Ghost did a great job on Berto but in no way that he should be in top 10.
