Not too long ago the only Americans were Hopkins and Pavlik,
No i said American based not specifically Americans.
Pac, Hatton, Vazquez etc.. have all fought in or beaten American based fighters.
I can't find a non-American based fighter in The Ring's top ten. This is understandable considering it is an American publication but still....
Most fights happen in America at the higher levels,how could it be any other way
Yes.. the majority of BIG fights happen in America where the glamour divisions are concerned.. but this shouldn't have such an over strong bias towards P4P rankings.
Glen Johnson entered the top ten after beating Roy Jones. Roy is undoubtedly a great fighter but was coming off a loss in under 6 minutes. Johnson had 9-10 losses on his record.
Pavlik entered the top 10 after beating Taylor. But Taylor had been DROPPED from the top 10 for poor performances. Pavlik has no better record than Abraham.
There's an inconsistency here, no?
