    They've always said that divisional rankings have nothing to do with P4P. But it's another reason why P4P is a complete pile of ****.

    Yeah their rankings are a bit off sometimes but by and large they're the best published one's out there in my opinion.

    Inconsistency within their own rankings is pretty unforgiveable though.

    Unless for them p4p is a pure h2h ranking in which case donaire should be number 2 behind floyd imo.

    The problem - if you even consider it a problem - is that to be a successful journalist/writer you don't have to wield an extensive knowledge of the sport. I only buy The Ring on occasion, but that seems to be my interpretation of a lot of their writers. Guys like Doug Fischer strike me as very good writers, but perhaps not people who know anymore than your average Joe in terms of judging a fight(er).

    Maybe I'm wrong though, like I said I'm not a regular customer.
