    Is this about Mario Veit not being ranked in the top 10?

    I don't necessarily rate rankings, but some are obviously easier to handle than others. They carry a lil more credibility. Weight and respect. They're all just opinions, but not all opinions are created equal.

    Anyway, it's not exactly earth shattering when fringe contenders make a cameo in the top 10, if that's what it turns out to be. Guys like that come and go. If they prove they belong, they stay, and move up. If not, they don't and fade away.

    Guys who are legit contenders, tend to stay in the rankings.

    PS- I thought this was in response to our discussion involving Veit.

    that is exactly why.

    ring magazine is American so if you are American you only have to fight journeymen to get ranked because they are desperate for American champs especially in the heavyweight division like wilder getting ranked it is ****ing unbelievable.

    I don't want to alarm you, or disallusion you, but there is something you should know.

    Sometimes Magazines, Newspapers, TV and other media lie.

    Sorry to have to break it to you. I hope you don't think less of me.

    I love how Guerrero and Canelo suddenly became top 10 P4P in the lead up to their fights with Mayweather.
