Exactly well said mate. Sick of the American scum on here the Ring has become nothing more than a rag now. Rousey is on the cover next month and she was battered by a boxer.
Their p4p list is disgraceful but it's stops there. Their division rankings are good and their articles or objective.
p4p lists have always been wacked out in Ring Mag imo personally I don't think big heavyweights should ever be in a top 10 list if they are out weighing most of their opponents as that completely goes against the entire P for P meaning. Thus guys like Waldo and Fury should in theory have a far tougher climb up the ladder to make it to the top 10. They shouldn't just be a little bit better than their usually lighter opponents they should be blowing them away over a period of time to get into a top 10 imo.
Agree, but this is the same magazine that not long ago put Ronda Rousey on the cover. For any sort of credibility we'll have to look elsewhere.
And that shows you exactly why people should hold their horses when bumping fury up to top 10, does it not?
How the hell is GGG ranked? He has a **** resume much worse then Crawford? Crawford is much more proven than GGG and far younger.
Not really, Mike was well publicised as having a rubbish training camp getting dropped by sparring partners, not training, skills declining with each fight with King. Whereas Wlad has been hailed as a consumate proffesional showing no signs of declining.
The way i see it is Fury found the formula to beat Vlad. Problem being some of the ingredients in this formula are currently only obtained by Tyson Fury. Nobody else out there has the height or reach AND the speed to beat Vlad. I think Fury is the only current ranked heavyweight that can beat Vlad. And that formula of Fury,s only works against Vlad. Anybody else is a completely different fight and Fury needs a new formula and he might not have the ingredients next time. Fury loses his belts to somebody, Vlad beats who ever that is and hes champion again and unbeatable doing what he has always done. Just stay away from Tyson Fury. Or. Maybe Ring Magazine saw for themselves just how scared Vlad was to risk getting punched. It was unbelievable and Fury isnt even a monster puncher. A man that scared to be punched in the face should not be in the sport of boxing.
Crawford should't be in there either, but that doesn't mean Fury should be. The whole thing with Crawford reminds me way too much to times when Juanma was hyped all over, without ever having proven himself. Was Rahman rated p4p top10 after he stopped Lewis? One win should not necessarily lift you to p4p top10 status, holding the unified heavyweight title might do. I am on the fence with this. If Fury repeats the victory and/or unifies with Wilder, he is definitely p4p top10.
Really shows how easy p4p is for yanks. Crawford had to beat burns to get in, fury has to become the only 4 belt undisputed heavyweight in history to crack the top 10 lmfao
