LondonRingRules Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 --- This link takes you to the last 10 rankings along with providing the "convoluted criteria and dubious logic." Be a nice talking point I'd guess if nothing else, so follow the progress onto Numero Uno in the last of the 10 articles over the coming weeks, Le Creme de la Creme as it were ensconced in The Hue & The Cry bed of Let Them Eat Cake... https://www.ringtv.com/634216-to-be-the-best-the-top-100-boxers-in-the-history-of-the-ring-rankings-100-91/ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 - - OK, Ring 100 went over like a lead balloon on KO Forum. They recently announced they're killing Print Rings after 100+ years, but then they pulled the rabbit out their hats by announcing a shiny new digital Ring. Anyone take the Ring Prints? Haven't seen them on magazine racks in ages, but this is the weakest looking Jack Dempsey I've ever seen! https://www.ringtv.com/646145-press-release-the-ring-magazine-embraces-digital-future-launching-monthly-electronic-edition/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledhed1 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 They're so behind the curve in going digital; what took them so long? Seeing as The Ring is owned by Golden Boy, they're ratings are inherently biased to favor DAZN-affiliated fighters, i.e. Golden Boy and Matchroom. They're no better or worse than any other set of ratings with an axe to grind. Good luck to em. The best any media organization can do for the industry is to keep public pressure on promoters to make the fights we should be seeing. Be journalists and report honestly and comprehensively. As for The Ring, if it's Golden Boy or Matchroom holding up a fight, report it. What's Matchroom's involvement in the Connor Benn fiasco? Who knew what and when? Let's hear it. Show yourself as being unbiased and you'll be taken seriously instead of as merely a promoter's mouthpiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 --- Led, been ages since Canelo was with Oscar, but been quite a few years now since MTK, Fury, and Arum been bunched in an unholy menage a trois whereupon their Hvy rating focus was Wilder and Fury to the reduction of Parker and Josh. Actually their affliction with Fury begins post Wlad where he is disgraced beyond measure, yet allowed to keep his Ring Belt 3 years without defense. Ring been digital for a number of years, but just now killed traditional print, and thus the few mossbacks left subscribing, ie their history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Just read the original post and link. Fascinating work by Cliff Rold. Interesting to see Peter Manfredo in the Calzaghe Scoring Results. GavPowell always claimed it was a pointless fight. Guess not? 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
