Thread: The Ring website updated

I went on there to check the ratings and it was updated. What do you guys think? The Ring - In Association with Yahoo! Sports

Well, it certainly looks like part of yahoo now. Pretty clean though IMO, I'm ok with it.

How the fuck can Margarito be ahead of Williams in the rankings if he lost clearly to him?? These ratings are just all opinion.

Because Paul Williams lost to Carlos Quintana who Paul Williams was heavily favored against. He did beat him impressively in the rematch, but he shouldn't of lost to him in the first place, plus he hasn't really made any noise in awhile.

Antonio Margarito has had two good wins against Kermit Cintron, and Miguel Cotto who was a top 5 P4P fighter. Thats why Antonio Margarito is higher.

What he said.

I can't imagine why you would think the win over Cotto alone was not enough reason for Margo to be rated above Williams

I just cant rate someone lower than someone they are better than and they have soundly beaten??

I like the new layout. The old site was just boring.

I do see your point fella, he beat Margo on points which was impressive but Margo stopped a great fighter in Cotto and Cotto was rated much highter than Williams. It's questionable no doubt but for me Margarito should be higher than Paul.

WTF is up with Calzaghes hair in his pic on the P4P list?

Williams victory over Margarito was razor thin and could have gone either way. Since that fight Williams got blown out by Quitana and then won a rematch. Tony went on to absolutely destroy two of the divisions top players.

Yes Williams has a win over Tony but a close one..since then what has he done?...Sat around a year lost his title...Won it back...never made one defense of it..fought a guy that had wins over no rated opp and lost his only bout against a known opp in Ward and retired on his stool...Not exactly something to brag about or something for a fighter of that level to be doing...and contrary to popular belief there are plenty of known opp that would have faced Williams....Williams just seemed to think that everyone should clear their already schedualed bouts to face him at his request

Margarito has won 2 world titles...Had 3 one sided wins...2 of them against top notch comp...1 a hard hitting Cintron who only seems to crumble against Tony and a win over the man everyone considered the next big thing in boxing (and just still may be)...in superb fashion

Before the Tony win Williams best win was over an undefeated Walter Matthysse...and beat a washed up Mitchell..

How do you even compare the two accomplishments thus far and what each has done since they met?

C'mon man use some logic
