Wheres the Keed?

 

Young pugilists like yourself ,should be in bed.:nono

 

Don't blame me ,it's the Rings take on things,but thanks for the input Mac.

 

I never sleep, when crime is on the street. Or poor ranking lists.

 

I think it actually is better than most of their lists. Which is hilarious in and of itself. I mean, after reading their recent p4p rankings, it doesn't really phase me.

 

Hm, you can make arguments for this list. But imo Leonard is too high. Gavilan and Ryan should be on there. Perhaps Napoles and Britton too. I think there are around 10-12 guys you can making arguments for beeing Top5 at welterweight and the only sure locks are Robinson and Armstrong IMO.

 

I think Ray Leonard is too high, but none of those names are ridiculous picks for being in the top 5, so I dont see the problem.

 

All 5 of them are legendary welters though.

 

I agree. someone didnt put much thought into it. Ring went downhill at the start of the 80s

 

i agree with this:good gavilian could be in top five, ryan to. robinson should be higher than armstrong. leonard could have a place but it'd be a tough sell. britton has more right to be honest. i'd say the argument can be for ted lewis to
