Ring will not recognize Wlad as champ after Sultan

But why is Iggy ranked at #6 when there are only 4 belts to even be considered? Surely Sultan is no less than #4 and he even can argue for #2 or #3 based on activity & manner in which he won he last 5 fights or so.

 

BTW I have it ranked:

1. Wladimir
2. Ruslan
3. Sultan
4. Oleg
5. Samuel
6. Nikolai

 

The rest are kinda fuzzy.............

in no particular order:

7. Virchis
8. Thompson
9. Povetkin
10. Gomez
11. Liakhovich


and then:

12. Chambers
13. Brewster
14. Ruiz
15. Arreola

it's anybodies guess after that.

 

Hoya is # 3 at welter if this is true the Ring magazine has gone to total **** and we can no longer look to it as a source of truth or objectivity.

 

Its at Jr MW.

 

After Peter's performance against McCline and Maskaev's 15 month inactivity, Sultan should be ranked #3. He should also be ranked above Valuev, who has a loss in his last big fight.

I would rank Chagaev as the #2. Sultan the #3.

 

By accomplishments, the current version of Oscar de la Hoya shouldn't be in ranked #3.

Toe-to-toe, judging by his fight against Mayweather, he should be ranked #2 or #3.

Spinks > 2007 Oscar > 37 year old Vernon Forrest.

 

Vlad is the best heavyweight in the world today, by far. Don King will try to cheat Maskaev out of his win in Mexico, one reason for having the fight in Mexico, still, Peter is crap. Vitali will knock out the winner. McCline beat the crap out of Peter and Vlad stipped McCline. Ring is full of crap. If Maskaev would have fought Peter the same night McCline did, Oleg would have knocked him out, same with Vitali, but Don King is trying to protect Peter, like judges in the McCline/Peter fight. Vlad will knock out Peter, no doubt about that, so will Vitali and Oleg should knock him out. McCline should have finished Peter off, but he allowed Don King's judges to cheat the Hell out of him.

 

See my later post. I apologized for the confusion.

 

Yes, I saw it. Indeed, Oscar was ranked #6. :good
