Who decides P4P top ten?........

The rings p4p top 10 is decided by Oscar...

 

Ring is not and should not be the be-all, end-all of P4P lists.

However, especially among the less educated boxing fans, it is their only source and truly the 'bible of boxing'...that is taking their marketing gimic too far.

That said, Ring is a solid mag and a very good measuring stick nowadays. In the past, they have been caught for fraudulent rankings and they did have an anti-European bias in the 90's. Now they are apparently well run under GBP, and were well run before Oscar took over as well.

 

^^ its because the ring ratings are done by a panel..come one, which other ratings is being done by a panel that is there for more than a decade..

i also believe that ratings done by a panel is more credible than the one done a bert sugar in his 50 greatest.

 

no 2 p4p lists will be the same, because it's so subjective, but the rings as good as any and better than a lot of them. i think the ring belt however is THE belt and helps distinguish who is the real champ of each division.

 

Agreed.

In general, The Ring recognizes the real champ in each division and their ratings are pretty damn good.

Pfp and divisional ratings are subjective and the people can sense when something isn't right.

The only ratings that suck are the WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO ratings.

i've just copied this off another forum


"The Ring Ratings are compiled by the magazine’s editorial board, with the participation of The Ring Ratings Panel of boxing journalists from around the world."

I secretly decide it in my underground lair. Somewhere in the Nevada desert.
If you have a boxer you would like to see ranked or ranked higher send cash to my secret underground lair. I would give you the address but than it would no longer be a secret.
You realize these lists no matter how many experts make them are all opinion and nothing more.

 

Depends.

If it's your opinion, then it doesnt matter, it's a subjective subject.

If you are having a go at someone then you have to go with the consensus, which is Ring.

If you think that the ESPN ten is the best, get ready, and you cant complain, for lots of ****ed up results from Boxrec.


On here if you are talking about the P4P Top Ten, you are talking about the Ring. Dont like it, tough. otherwise i could list 10 fighters that i have as Top 10, that you wouldnt have heard of. So who says when they have beaten a Top 10 fella.

Doesnt matter if you agree or not, the Ring is the 10 to work from.

 

Anybody can make their own P4P LISTs . . . but what count most and universally recognized is the Ring P4P list because it is the ORIGINAL P4P listing.

 

The boxers themselves give the ring p4p credibility by their regard for the ring belts
