    Just noticed the current Ring magazine rankings at welterweight. I am a fan of Kell Brook and don't normally pay much attention to the rankings, but number 3? Really?

    CHAMPION: Vacant

    1) Manny Pacquiao
    2) Floyd Mayweather Jr. WBC CHAMPION
    3) Kell Brook
    4) Paulie Malignaggi WBA CHAMPION
    5) Jan Zaveck
    6) Timothy Bradley WBO CHAMPION
    7) Randall Bailey IBF CHAMPION
    8) Josesito Lopez
    9 ) Victor Ortiz
    10) Selcuk Aydin

    How is Bradley number 6 at Welterweight having beaten Manny Pacquiao, but number 8 in their P4P list?

    I know Brook is undefeated in all, but he's sandwiched in between a few belt holders!

    But Braadley didn't beat Pacquiao. Pacquiao is a better fighter.

    But he did beat him whether or not it was a correct decision or not is irrelevant.

    To be fair even losing a close split decision against pacman ranks higher then Brook at the moment

    He's done more than most of the other fighters there to be fair. 3 does seem a bit high like.

    It's no longer Ring Magazine it's Golden Boy Magazine so all of their rankings and belts can be discounted. Was funny how Khan-Garcia suddenly acquired Ring belt status at the last minute. Cheesiest face I've seen in a while was De la Hoya's grinning mug behind Garcia for the whole of his interview in the ring after the fight saying "Bye bye Amir I'm over here now!"
