[ThePlugInBabies]

smw deserves a title shot, mikkel kessler? :huh

[jackiebrown]

it was prolly for the ring title.. but remember this was wrote before the match with Joe C was made

[jackiebrown]

maybe that wasnt so much as good in terms of excitement? ..

not sure here just posting what the ring said lol .. i didnt see either fight

[somerset]

Cruiserweight division seems rather out-of-date!

[brooklyn1550]

The best puncher in the heavyweight division is Wladimir Klitschko and it's not even close.
As far as most exciting heavyweight fighter, I disagree with Brian Minto.

For the cruiserweights, Darnell Wilson has yet to get a much deserved title shot.

Wheres the Middleweight division? I was waiting to see Pavliks name up there a 1/2 dozen times.

[Illmatic]

Good to see Ding getting some press, good for him. But best puncher in SMW- Kessler? Surely its Lacy.

They shouldve written Championship shot instead of title shot...

[Maxime]

Peter Manfredo the most underated fighter in the 168lbs division.

oh....my...fucking....god..... :rofl

[sandwichsurgeon]

I have to disagree, Naz is definately the most underrated Cruiserweight right now.

[Astola]

Whos fuckin writing this shit for the ring?????

I agree on some of the HW statements, but what the fuck is going on in their judgement of SMW???????:patsch :patsch :!: :!: :!: :tired :tired :tired


I mean - just the fact that they put Kessler up there as the best puncher is a fuckin joke!! Kessler is no puncher ffs.....

Lacy is a puncher, Andrade is a puncher, Froch is a puncher - but Kessler?

Adamek is the best puncher at lhw????:rasta :rasta :rasta :rasta
A joke!

The Ring magazine is loosing its credibillity bad. Manfredo underrated? OMFG.

[BigEars]

Peter Manfredo the most underated fighter in the 168lbs division.

oh....my...fucking....god..... :rofl

They've probably never even heard of Inkin to underate him...........

As for other things I see that are wrong(imo)

Wlad is the biggest puncher at heavy .

Bell isn't as big a puncher as Haye , Ding or Maccarinelli . Haye deserves a shot the most(which he's getting) and is also the most fun to watch for me . Braithwaithe is not underated .

match makers dream Erdei v Dawson.............? , surely they can think of better than that .

Lacy is a bigger puncher than Kessler , Bute/Inkin deserves a title shot the most(although from their point of view Kessler isn't a champion so it's obvious why they have him there) I'd propose Calzaghe is the best to watch but Lacy isn't a bad choice .
underated , Inkin Froch , Bute , someone who's genuinely better than Manfredo .
Super Middle fight of the year was Froch v Magee for me , but Lacy v Tyspko wasn't bad .


Arreola at #10 ?...........who cares what they wrote above , that right there is what has ruined their credibility for me .

[RDJ]

Peter Manfredo the most underated fighter in the 168lbs division.

oh....my...fucking....god..... :rofl

He doesn't even belong in the division.

[Sai]

Christ, some of that is pretty bad. How is Bell a bigger hitter than Haye, Macca or Ding? Some of the "deserves" a title shot stuff is really odd too. Most of the guys they talk about have one, or do they mean the ring belt?
