    Ring's rankings are more legit, but casual fans will see ESPN before they see the Ring

    I believe Floyd is number 1 p4p, but I think the Ring's ranking are more credible obviously.
    And casual fans don't know anything about boxing, but they'll look at ESPN and see that Floyd is number one and they'll go on believing it also :good

    ESPN is the world premier sports channel, whoever they put up as number #1 is also good. If they have Floyd up as number 1 I also respect that. But you also have to respect them when they call Floyd KFC.

    I'm interested to see yahoo's rankings, cuz in actuality, I think the "casual fan" may check out yahoo before espn, not sure, just a guess (only because of the fact that the folks I know who are international, are on yahoo a lot)

    There's gonna always be disagreements over ratings but even though I agree with ESPN that Floyd is #1 PFP I still have to say The Ring's rating should be more respected.

    Eastern Sports Network world premier? I see what you're saying but wow have you seen their Red Sox/Yankees, Patriots/Jets, Celtics/Heat bias

    West coast teams can't get no love from espn, they'll show a quick highlight from golden state warrior game, then show a 15 min segment on some whack ass celtics game against the timberwolves

    but feel you, if folks want to take gospal for lil floyd being number cuz espn says so, they also got to take it for when they say chicken
