ring rankings jan 8th 2008

Zab is so lucky he knocked out Spinks in that rematch. He has lost every other big fight he's had. I think a case can be made for Cintron to be above him.....but you're right. Looking at who is below him, its not that crazy for him to be there.

 

In which fight?

 

you can always argue about where guys are ranked.however i bet if anyone compared the rings rankings with those of the alphabet boys the rings would make infinitely more sense.

 

How is Winky still higher than Pavlik? And Hatton as well? Kelly got gipped in these p4p rankings. Then again, Popkins at 4 is a gift, too.

 

Donaire needs to fight Naito and possibly Wonjongkam for the ring belt at Fly. :yep

 

Gavin Rees should be ranked number 10 tops.

 

Yes. most of the top 10 rankings from the organizations are people I've never even heard of! I can atleast recognize the names on the Ring list.

 

How is Tarver ranked ahead of Dawson? atsch

 

Why is Pavlik who is the ring belt holder at Middle weight not in the pound for pound list while Winky is still there?

What has Winky accomplished lately? :huh :-(

 

Never happening. Donaire is a draw in the US and unknown in Asia (outside the Philippines). Naito is a huge draw in Japan and unknown in the states. Pong is notorious for fighting only on his home turf unless the fight is against a scrub. The only way this happens is if Donaire raises his profile in Japan, and by the time he accomplishes that, he'll be broke and Naito might not even be the #2 anymore.

 

Apparently you get more credit for moving up and not winning than for knocking out the top guys in your own weight class when it comes to P4P logic. I have a big problem with it considering Winky wouldn't even be favored over Pavlik if the two fought now.

 

It's highly irregular for a ring belt holder not to make it to the P4P ranking while somebody who is ranked lower is in that list. :-(

 

Yeah I know . . . but Donaire already openedly declared he is willing to fight in ASIA and settle for lower purse just to make these fights happen.

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

I'll make this point again -

The ring has no credibility anymore. Hatton and Wright still in the top 10.

 

Maybe thats why hatton is in it. he only struggled against urango because he had a cold fight week. As mayweather proved 147, his not his weight.
