Are Ring rankings still the gold standard?

[Addicted to_boxing]

Not only is Ring no longer a gold standard neither is boxing as whole. HBO PPV initially changed boxing thanks to Pacquiao and Mayweathers cherry picking ways fighting who they want (that will generate the most money) not who they should . Arum is king having taking catchweight to a new level and gaining titles the unconventional way . GBP leader ODLH's willingness to fight Pac at an unrealistic weight for "Money" was the launching pad for this new Arum Tactic.
