Calling Out "THE RING"!

Hop belongs where he is at, and it does help that he is Dlh's business partner:good

 

I sense a ban coming.

 

Did you forget who owns the Ring now?

 

The same people who promote your boy Haye.

I wouldn't call Hopkins the bigger man. Kelly is actually taller and I think his reach is bigger. Both are/were middleweights.

Honestly, I think Hopkins is a little bit "smaller". Bhop weighed in at 156 for DLH and 157 for Trinidad, two of his finest performances. Keep in mind that B-Hop was in his 30s for these performances, when most fighters have gained some weight since their 20s.

Pavlik, although he started his career as a JMW, hasn't fought below 159 for a long time, and he's still at an age where he could add a few pounds.

 

Well, Pacman is ranked 1 and most people have him losing by knockout to someone outside the top 10 in his next fight... B-Hop is a legend, Beating Jermain Taylor doesn't make you pass him in the list, since B-Hop also did it, when Jermain was in his prime. Everybody knows that the Hopkins fights took something out of Taylor, he got a gift decision against Cory Spinks and barely beat Kassim Ouma !
Beating Miranda also does very little in a p4p ranking, in my opinion.

 

I love the RING

 

Also, consider Hopkins lost to Taylor twice while Pavlik beat him twice. It makes zero sense. Probably Golden Boy propaganda BS.

 

:huh Haye promotes himself, when did he buy ring magazine?

 

Ring has been bad lately...Hopkins in the top 15 P4P is a joke.

 

Because the Ring's rankings are not objective and because they're mostly based on past accomplishments, rather than current ability (judged on the basis of recent performances and expected near future performances).
