The Ring - still ranking Khan above Garcia

[Rantcatrat]

Back to my first post.

If I kayoed a guy ranked above me I would expect to go above him regardless of how good he was - though not always if by a close decision (especially a controversial one)

With football its over a season where everyone plays everyone twice - doesn't happen in boxing (super six closest thing I have known to it). No team is going to go through the season unbeaten (ok its happened a couple of times in history) and there will always be a Swansea beating Man City type game in a season.

If Stoke won the premier league then yes they would be classed as better than them - till the following the season (boxing equivalent of a rematch)

naa you missunderstand

the ring ring rankings doesnt consider who is WBA, WBC, IBF or any other champ so if there was an equivalent in football it doesnt consider who is top of the league, it considers who the board feel is the best boxer currently as if there was a football equivalent they would consider who is the best football team currently

an example would be chelsea just beat baca in the european cup final, chelsea are european champions but are they lb4lb the best team in europe?

the first half of a season could be dominated by united, the second by city, united could win the league still yet city could be still considered lb4lb the better team at the end of the season

If everytime one fighter koed another he had to jump above the guy he just koed the rankings would be a shambles

he just koed him, yet he was koed by him in the fight before and the first guy who was koed koed the last guy who was koed, what would you do then?

i do agree tho garcia should maybe be ranked a bit higher but not neccessarily above khan

Erics, Really? Garcia knocked Khan out. There is no debate there. Every single ratings panel has Garcia above Khan.

as far as I remember in Ring ratings anyone who has kayoed anyone else has gone above them

think there may have been the odd exception when someone was fighting out of their weight class (though I can't name any so don't ask)

This might usually be the case, obviously not in this instance tho and it couldnt be put in as a hard and fast rule as the rankings could become a shambles

naa weve gone past the fact that garcia isnt ranked above khan we are on the fact that just coz he knocked him out doesnt mean he should be

ill use the example i said above

this is fantasy by the way i know it didnt happen

Khan Kos Maidana
Garcia Koes Khan
Maidana Koes Garcia

all in the space of a few months

on top of that maidana has been on a bad run of results aside from the garcia fight

in this instance who should be ranked above who?

yes that scenario is a tough one where the panel will need to sit (they debate something similar today re Khan's rating if you check) but in this instance Fighter B has sparked A - end of story. So A's ranking should be lower. The end

nope not the end

if i sparked mayweather should i be ranked above him considering i have never before had a professional fight?

[Mark TKO]

yes - you've proved yourself better

[shza]

That whole discussion is moot. They *were* comparatively ranked before the fight. 1 and 2 in the division, I think (since the Ring had removed Peterson).

And the Ring announced before the fight that fight was for its 140 lb championship. If it's a title bout, the winner is the champ and is necessarily ranked above the guy he beat.

Like, Sonny Boy Jaro (there's your journeyman) became the flyweight champ and outranked Wonjongkam and everyone else when he won that fight (and he'll now drop back down after losing).

[erics44]

yes - you've proved yourself better

are chelsea better than bacalona?

[Mark TKO]

can't compare football and boxing in that respect
