Ring Magazine has moved Khan to #2 at welterweight. Fair?

[LacedUp]

So, Ring Magazine has moved Amir Khan to #2 at Welterweight, despite only having fought in the division once since December 2014 in a very unimpressive closely fought contest over a guy who wasn't ranked in the top 15 - Chris Algieri.

Do you think it's fair that Khan - Who's WW wins count: Collazo, Alexander & Algieri - is rated above the likes of Thurman, Porter, Bradley, Spence and Garcia?

[HanzGruber]

Lol hell no. that probably came in his contract for fighting canelo

[vaborikua2014]

No its not but since when has boxing been fair? Its one of the deadliest and argubly dangerous worldwide sports yet itnis also the most corrupt.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

one of the perks of facing CANELOLUJAH you get BLESSED!

so shall you sow so shall you reap

All you who hear/read this today, Do not turn away but go forth and spread that CANELOLUJAH GOSPEL!

Does anyone really care about the GBP magazine and GBP belt/rankings anymore? Its downfall is its own doing

A promoter buying the once renowned publication is such a sham

[MDPopescu]

I used to respect The Ring.
Unfortunately, Oscar changed it into GBP PR, since this "Canelo situation".

[Larry the boss]

wtf????hell no, how and why did he move up?

[FrankieBruno]

Very fair....especially how outboxed 180 lb's Canelo for 5 rounds

After Khan beats Garcia and becomes the WBC champ (the only belt that matters), he can face Manny Pac.

All the angry Khan haters are having a mental breakdown

You can't stop the rise of Lord Commander Khan Snow aka the Prince Who Was Promised

[NEETzsche]

that is scandalous

what the hell is going on at GBP

Only Bradley has a better run at welterweight. Thurman has done nothing of note tbh. Porter had that IBF win but Khan beat Alexander better plus he has a loss to Brook at 147.

Spence has one good win and that's it.

Khan may not have any superstar names on there but he has a consistent run of good wins over good opponents.

Personally I'd have it:

Bradley (following Pacs retirement)
Brook
Khan
Garcia/Porter

everyone else
