Why would he have been on the cover in 2008?

My observations are that there aren't many European fighters other than Joe Calzaghe; there aren't many fighters from the lower weight classes other than Pacquiao; and, Pacquiao and PBF dominate the Covers.

The Ring often releases two covers different covers. One sold in the U.S. and one sold in Europe with a European fighter on the cover. They show the alternate cover on like the second page.
