    Look at their faces after the fight, Ward was busted up, Kovalev was untouched...............Kovalev staggered Ward with a jab, knocked SOB down, all SOB did was run, hold, try to headbutt, punch to the balls, hold Kovalev's leg. SOB is afraid to rematch, Kovalev want's to kill Ward in the ring and he will. SOB is not P4P, Lomachenko is....................by far...........SOB is a fraud..................82% of boxing writers had Kovalev winning and most of the fans, except for the blind bigots!

    Thanks for agreeing its a close fight. Clear for you and what ever % of people that voted on your poll, but again, the fact is that Ward won, it was a close fight, and it really could have gone either way. You want a real robbery go watch Tito-DLh. A close but clear fight is Mosley-DLH I.

    You use a lot of emotion in your posts, showing that you have strong emotional attachments to certain boxers, making it difficult to accept flaw.

    Well when people ALL THE TIME in this forum go out of their way to belittle and ignore the accomplishments and FACTS of certain fighters I support and follow... I tend to react a bit harshly yes. Lol

    And it's not just on this forum. It's in the boxing establishment too. There isn't fair play but that's a whole other issue.

    That is EXACTLY what I wrote it would be, other than Inoue.

    How does Rigo keep his place in this top 10? He's done nothing for years.

    It really doesn't make sense that Roman Gonzalez is relegated to 4, whilst Ward is put up to number 1. Most feel Ward lost the fight, hence why he didn't replace Roman at the number 1 spot.
    Most feel Roman beat the Thai, why aren't they sticking to the mainstream view here? Double standards.

    I agree, Rigondeaux has had only 4 fights in the last 4 years and every single one were against bums + he hasn't looked good at all against ANY of these guys.

    Why is GGG so high? Jacobs isn't nowhere near the P4P list and arguably beat GGG. The Thai is nowhere near the P4P list neither and according to the judges beat him. Ward and Kovalev have both been adjacent each other on the list so one beating the other doesn't really change anything. GGG and Gonzales way too high. Loma is definitely better than both.

    I would have put Loma higher myself, however I guess they want him to prove himself in a few more fights first.

    W.r.t. GGG and Gonzalez, I guess the thinking is that one poor night shouldn't have huge repercussions.

    I don't put a lot of stock into these things, even less so when it's by The Ring.

    That said, that's actually a pretty decent list.
