I have to two-part this. What verbiage did the Police Gazette themselves use and at what point, in your opinion, do the lists become ratings?

I don't mean to be condescending here, I'm just writing this next bit just in case folks read and are not sure what I mean or think I'm being a bit jerky over the usage of terms. They used to call what you would call a ranking a list. I'm just asking where in time luf sees the end of lists and birth of ranks. They have some level of different connotations, but that difference is exactly what luf and I are discussing.

If anyone cared enough about either, maybe it would be.

But nobody is passionate about them.

Who will Usyk fight if he beats Fury again in a couple weeks?

Nobody cares (except the fans of the people who might possibly challenge him).

People would rather talk about the players in an elimination tournament if Usyk leaves than talk about Usyk continuing and who he may fight next.

It's weird to point out because it shouldn't be the case. It shouldn't have been the case with Ward, either. But some fighters just don't instill real passion in fans.

Ridiculous post and not worth a boxing response.
