P4P bias towards American based fighters?

[Galaxy]

Wonjongkam was in the P4P ratings from 25 Jan 05 - 12 Jun 06. Pretty sure he'd qualify as non-American based.

As for John I don't think he has a case. Sure he got the win over Marquez but he has done nothing since!

Just cause you beat a P4Pr doesn't mean you make the list. Look at Darchinyan... he beat Mijares who was on the P4P list but didn't get listed.

Same with Spinks when he defeated Mayorga who was ranked at the time.

There are only 10 spots & there are guys like Williams & Darchinyan who imo deserve to be ranked ahead of John! But that the thing with P4P its all debatable!!!

Good stuff, Galaxy. How do you know the dates? Have you got a link?

I'm not championing John as a P4P fighter. I'm using him as an example because he's a non-American based fighter that doesn't get a look in, even though his record/results deserve consideration.

Beating a P4P fighter means NOTHING.. theres plenty of cases over the past couple of years to prove that.

Sorry Fenster I ain't got a link as the Ring website doesn't keep archives of their weekly rankings. But I've got copies of every weekly ratings since their website has been up & running. But if you have any of the Ring issues around that time he'll appear in their monthly ratings. He was not removed due to a defeat... When Taylor beat Hopkins it pushed him out.
