Ring Magazine goes full ******

:rofl:rofl Look at teh Sturm bit, they think WBA = World Champ like Hagler. :nut

 

It has certainly gone down hill ,two pages of round card girls, I lke looking at women in bikinis but its a boxing mag for ****'s sake!

Now we have, what music are you listening to at the moment articles ? Who gives a ****?

Hopkins might scrape into my top 10[at 10] Greb, Monzon, SRR,Hagler ,and Ketchel are rightly there, the others have no business anywhere near a top 10 list ,imo.

 

Here i am, ruining your boxing mag. :klitfanb:

Good reason not to waste money on "The Ring" anymore. Always enjoyed it "way back when".

 

There's another thread on this list McG, some people justified it

 

Dire :huh WHAT ARE YOU ON!!!!

Right, I have taken a deep breath and calmed down.


Let us get this straight:

I do not know how you can make a list of the finest Middleweights ever, that must include non American fighters with initials that are either AA or FS*; without using Arthur and Felix.



*I take it that this is one of the criterion's for this list...

 

The list is ****. I still enjoy reading the ring mag, still best magazine out there.

The guy who compiled this list is certainly a boxrec warrior.

I could comfortably compile a top 50 mw list without sturm nor abraham.

I mean hell, winky wright's performances against tito and taylor are greater than the combined achievements of sturm and aa.

 

Time for McGrain to invest some of his vast capitol into starting a brand new boxing magazine..with a huge part of the mag's content devoted to the classic side of the sport.

 

Sturm and abraham in front of the likes of freddie steele, Cerdan and Zale????? (amongst others who i couldnt even be bothered listing)

Get da ****!!!!!!

 

Once again. The people who criticize this are unable even to quote the title of the original article correctly. The author never said this was the list of greatest middleweights of all-time! Whoever claims that he did, go read the introduction, instead of making yourself looking more stupid than the author of the list.

 

And one more thing, calling Mike Casey "the inestimable boxing historian" is a joke!

 

If he says Darcy was a Middleweight World champion claimant, then so was Langford (1907-11)...

 

Langford was a heavyweight most of his career, he had no right to claim the world middleweight champion title.

 

What has that got to do with anything? Langford was a Middleweight claimant for fours years, a Light Heavyweight claimant for two years (1911-13), and Heavyweight too for less than four years (various reigns adding up to three years between 1909-18). So he has a claim to be considered mainly a Middleweight on the bizarre criterion offered by the author of the list.
