The new ring rankings suck, and here's why!

[Kev]

I wont SC, but I do have 1 simple question.

Does the name 'Finito' Lopez mean anything to you?

Yes of course I know who he is, he battered every guy who weiged under 105 lbs!

105 lbs!!! My old personal trainer was a tiny, and I mean tiny 5 ft 1 in Canadian girl and she weighed 112 lbs I mean come on.

It's a fact that the 'great' Ricardo Lopez would have been knocked out IN A BOXING RING by virtually any professional athlete. If he boxed Carl Lewis, Daly Thompson, Joe Montana, or even Hollywood actors like Brad Pitt, Colin Farrell or even F****** Tom Hanks, they all would have pounded his a** because he weighed about 7 stone!!!

This is my whole point. In no other sport would a man be considered an all time great when just a normal guy off the street could beat them.

It's crap.

Bilbo you been siping on 'Grandpas cough medicine' again havent you?

You are judging fighters on weight?
Because a fighter is bigger hes better then the smaller guy.

Guess that explains Valuev vs. Chagaev huh?

nah not at all, take the current p4p top 10.

Virtually everybody on here seems to think that if Pacman, Floyd and Winky all weighed the same, that both Floyd and Winky would beat Pac.

I'd also add Hopkins to that list, probably Calzaghe, De La Hoya, James Tony, etc.

But because he's a little guy he's p4p top 2 in most eyes, even number 1 in others.

R Marquez has beaten a host of top bantam weights but which of those bantamweights if they weighed the same as the likes of Hopkins, De La Hoya, Winky, Floyd, Calzaghe, Tony etc would have beaten any of them?

I doubt any of them would but R Marquez gets all the credit and is ranked at 3 in the world now.

They have lower standards for judging little guys, it's a fact.

Wlad Klitschko has pretty much cleaned out the heavyweight division in recent years with big wins over Sam Peter twice and Chris Byrd both top 10 ranked Ring fighters (for the heavyweight division) but nobody even thinks of putting him in the p4p list.

I can virtually guarantee if he weighed 120 lbs and those names were Vasquez and any other top bantamweight he'd be knocking on the door.

Come to think of it if Valsquez weighed the same as Chris Byrd I'd fancy Byrd to school him seeing as he's used to fighting much bigger fighters than him. A puncher his own size and weight probably wouldn't be much of a problem.

p4p even Eddie Chambers would start favourite over Vasquez imo, so why does beating him put someone to p4p number 3 in the world?

Answer, of course, because he's a little guy and little guys get loads of credit for beating up other little guys.
