    I am with you on that. They need to rename it to, "THE FISHNETS" now.

    Their rankings after it was purchased by GBP are absolutely rediculous, especially the one involving DLH.

    What did you expect when The Golden Fishnets took over?

    They are still the best rankings. It also has tradition.

    I think their rankings will be the best for many years.

    Their Cruiserweight rankings seem ok. Their Light Heavyweight rankings are also ok. The Super Middleweight, Middleweight, Welterweight, Light Welterweight, Lightweight, Jr. Lightweight and Featherweight rakings are ok.

    I only have objections with the Heavyweight and the Light Middleweight rankings.

    So, let me ask...why has the Ring turned into garbage? The articles, the P4P rankings, why?Thanks.

    Lacy is way too high...he is just outside the Top 10 for me...no way near 5th...and what is Allan Green doing so high? Green ain't Top 10! Everything else I can live with.

    The Oscarsexuals are out in force trying to keep Ring as the Bible of boxing when it's gone nothing but down hill since Goldy Fishnet has taken over. Oscars as dumb as hell even thinking he can put himself at #3 and get by with it. Hell he's lost 4 out of his last 5 fights and now he's #3? How pathetic.
    And yet, oh yeah here they come, the Oscarites are trying their best to justify that tripe. They don't have much to hang onto anymore so in a way you have to feel sorry for them. Their Idol has lost 4 out of his last 5, has been exposed as a crossdresser, and now picks little boy Forbes to beat up on which is only accepted by guess who? That's right, the Oscarsexuals again. After demolishing Forbes the Oscarsexuals will be screaming "He's back"
    Oscar will frolic around the ring with arms in air and the chants of "Oscar", "Oscar", "Oscar" will fill the arena, sombreros will be tossed and that look of fake determination will come across Oscars face as he takes the mike and says in that high pitched ***gy voice of his "Boy. I pack quite a wallop!".
    The games begin!
