Distinguished columnist Steve Kim exposes Ring Mag., lineal title

what distinguishes steve kim's opinion over anyone else. the sanctioning bodies are more corrupt than anything else.

 

How can anyone not hold the opinion of respectable man like Gary Shaw to the highest esteem?:verysad

Just by quoting that leech Shaw this article went out the window.

Ring Mag is not perfect, but its the best thing there is. The ABC's will always be biased and move for the money.

 

"I mean, that's bull****. He should put it up for grabs. I mean De La Hoya owns the company now and he (Hopkins) is the Ring champion at 175, but the only problem is he hasn't really fought at 175."

didnt he beat tarver at 175?

 

I'm talking about the 'reincarnation' of the Ring magazine. Didn't they stop after they were proved to be corrupt, just like the ABC's are.

Historically, I don't really know to be honest, and I'm not going to bluff about it either.

But in its recent form, the ring belt couldn't survive without the ABC's.

 

No it doesn't, and you're right.

Ever since the enforced rematch of Lewis - Vitlay (which I understand, but was rushed IMO) the WBC have been ridiculous.

Firstly, Kirk Johnson who wasn't going to be allowed as a challenger for Lewis's belt is now suddenly in an eliminator fight?

Then Corrie Sanders, which I kind of get.

Then Vitlay fighting Danny Williams, never having a mando.

THen the multiple postponements of Vitlay v Rahman, and upgrading the interim belt.

Then the whole Toney-Peter bull****.

Not to mention having McCall fight an 'eliminator' when the Toney Peter thing was going on.

And underneath it all, this emeritus bull**** that they simply made up, and keeps stalling the division.


You seriously couldn't make that **** up. Don't get me wrong KG, I'm not a real fan of the ABC's. But I still thing the Ring is both sanctimonious and surviving of other organisations work.
