    adamek at 30 is stupid, given the fights he's been in & the fact he's won a ring belt. he should be in the top 15.

    and darchinyan, who has blown out a "pound for pounder" in mijares, holds titles at 2 weights, stopped numerous world class fighters (pacheco, arce, kirilov) down in the 60s: insane.

    and haye was far too low, given he beat an undispued (pretty much) champ in mormeck, destroyed his unification opponent (macca), won a heavyweight belt (valuev), and was beating - and knocking out - world class comp (frago, gurov) for the bloody EUROPEAN title at cruiserweight. also, the fact that he won his 2 belts in france and germany as well...yank writer wouldn't give a damn about that, would he?

    I posted this in another thread after reading that shitty list in the mag

    'Just reading this Top 100 horse****, who writes this crap, The Ring need to get off Bernard Hopkins's nuts, the guy fights once every 18 months and is rated No4 same as last year without even having a fight in the 12 months from the last list, Arthur Abraham at 13 based on wins over Raul Marquez, Lajuan Simon and Mahir Oral!?!?! Glen Johnson jumping up 36 to 18 based on wins over Aaron Norwood and Daniel Judah. Juan Carlos Salgado crashing the rankings at 28!!?!! based on one win over Jorge Linares and our own Carl Froch entering the rankings at 59!! even though he's beaten Pascal, Taylor and Dirrell???

    What a pile of ****'
