Nice site, but Joe Mesi ranked at number 2 in HW?

And Witter above Hatton at L.Welter!

Who made these rankings?!

I dont mean to keep picking, but...

As our readers will know we at square-ring tell it how it is

It is quite clear whoever runs and/or writes for this site is not impartial and has their favourites - but for me, personally, that doesn't seem a good way to get more people to use your site.

You post an article about how crap Joe Calzaghe is and how amazing James Toney is, then come onto the British Boxing forum and want people to come use your site.

It would be one thing if these opinions were true, or at least widely agreed with, but I dont think they are.

Maybe it was never your intention to make any form of impartial reporting, but it just seems like a lot of hate and nut-hugging, quite amateurish.

Anyway, sorry for the rant.

Good luck with your site.

Thanks for your comments guys.

I myself (Michael) am the web designer/developer and write the occasional report, the rankings are put together by a long serving member of the team, Scott.

I do disagree with the rankings, JC in second place behind Kessler and Mesi in second place etc, but I'm told that's the way it's done...

Square-Ring have always been controversial.... (although I don't always agree with their views).

Regarding the Calzaghe report, I told them that I didn't feel comfortable with putting the article up and such linked my own article at the bottom of Scott's report. I did suggest it may have damning repurcussions within the boxing world, but hey, Im just the designer...!!!

Anyway, please check out another of my sites:

http://www.calzaghe.co.uk

Hope you will find this one less contoversial!!

Thanks again,

Koomey

In all fairness I did read the other Calzaghe report and it was a good read.

I didn't mean to make such an attack on your website, I just really dislike that guys writing style. Others may enjoy it, who knows.

Oscar DLH p4p greatest of all time

Cant get my head around Gatti V Ward 3 being in the top fights of all time. Personally thought the third was the poorest of the trilogy. I'd like to also know how witter leapfrogged Hatton between April 06 & May 06.

Saying that rankings can always be picked apart.

Not to jump on the bandwagon :) but the list of top ten middle weights is also insane. Hagler and Robinson are the only pre 1980s fighters on the list. Benn is a 3rd of all time and Eubank, Nunn, Jackson and McClennan all make it in but no Monzon, Greb or Lamotta.

Those rankings are appalling. And that fella's Calzaghe piece was dreadful, not least because of his shocking grammar.

The layout is decent enough though koomey.

Yeah, the Calzaghe artilce was pretty damning, but glad you ike my own effort. The grammar is really bad but I simply don't have time to correct all his mistakes!!

I shall gladly pass on your comments to the guys who run the site.

Thanks again,

Really nice design. Scared to read the content though. :P

Sorry to sound rude, but decent web design (actually pretty good), cannot mask the fact that the people writing know little about boxing.

Hi James, sat next to you last year at the Woods-Gonzalez fight in Sheffield, you're a nice guy and know your stuff!

p.s. - anyone wanting any boxing web design doing, let me know.
