ring magazine is b******t!!

I'd have Mosley and Pacquiao at joint #1 right now, but I doubt they'd ever throw out rankings like that. Although I see them as joint #1, Mosley's biggest drawback has been his inactivity, even though thats not his fault. I don't agree how they put Pacquiao straight into the #1 spot after beating Cotto, but you never know, if Mosley would have fought at least once in the last year or so, the rankings may have been different.

The rankings may change on May 2nd...

 

I realized that Ring Magazine had lost its credibility when I saw the cover shortly after Mayweather signed to fight Marquez in that bull**** match up. It said something to the effect of the Marquez fight being a "foolish gamble" for Mayweather to take. The attempt to lend credibility to such an obviously cherry picked fight was glaringly transparant. If the magazine wasn't owned by DLH and Marquez not promoted by Golden Boy, you'd probably have seen a more honest assesment of that so called "fight".
Ring Magazine , once surely "The Bible of Boxing" is now nothing more than a propoganda rag serving Golden Boy Promotions.

 

No doubt, Mosley should be #1.

 

Yes, being inactive for a year and a half doesn't help. Pacquiao has defeated 2 top 5 contenders at 147 in that same period.

 

Champ: Vacant
1. Pac
2. Floyd
3. Mosley

 

how is floyd ahead of mosley:huh

 

Shane mosley has been fighting at welterweight for 10 years!

 

who you have higher out of mosley and pac depends on how much you factor SSM's activity (well, lack of it). The ring say that given pac has beaten two top contenders recently (including one that SSM lost to) they put him 1st. I'm fine with that. I'd also be fine with pac 2nd, it really doesnt matter tho, because after May, we will get new rankings.

Also, PBF should clearly be number 3, no higher, no lower

 

Losing a lot of respect for the Ring these days

 

I'll explain it to you if you can give me some straight, 1-word answers to these 3 questions:

- Who is currently the better fighter, Floyd or Mosley?

- In what weightclass is Floyd currently at his best?

- In what weightclass is Mosley currently at his best?

 

who's welterweight resume is better?

 

this is a mere technical;ity

3 top welters are also in the top P4P, kinda makes their welterweight rankings a non issue

either way Shane should be TOP contender !! the ring title at WW is vacant since Floyd left , so shane is technically a higher ranked challenger at 47

stop the press

 

This:good
