I don't.

It's a 36-year-old against a 43-year-old.

The general public shouldn't be exposed to these abnormalities. It's sick.

Its not their fault they are still at the top of their game at their ages, they have had plenty of fighters stand in their way to try and stop them, so as Hopkins said, its last man standing

Current Ring Magazine rankings:

B-Hop: No. 1 @ 175, no. 4 P4P
Joe C.: No. 1 @ 168, no. 5 P4P

Not bad for two "old" men!

I wasn't being serious. It's not sick.

But Hoya's Ring Mag writers are the be all, end all?

Hopkins one of the five best boxers in the world despite not having fought since last July and losing two of his last four?

Hopkins' losses to Taylor were disputed and moving up two weight divisions to dominate the number one at 175 was pretty impressive.

I don't think there's any evidence that DLH's ownership of The Ring has in any way compromised its editorial integrity. Otherwise, Oscar himself might be P4P number 1, as, in the opinion of a significant minority, he should have got the decision over Floyd.
