Redefining the light hierarchy: fixing the controversial top 10 of Ring Magazine

Ring Magazine came out with his new light rankings and have some questionable options on his list of the first ten that are not reality. The King of Light Division, Gervonta Davis, is the number 1, which makes sense.

Keyshawn: Really #2?

The list comes out from that moment with the Old tomato can destroy Keyshawn Davis at number 2. Since he has never fought anyone and he will not face his four -time conqueror, Andy Cruz, should not be instead of first place.

The Top 10 list of the ring has left out of the talent of Lamont roach and Abdullah Masonthat is strange. How can these two be on the list? In addition, some fighters do not belong to the list: Sam Noakes and Frank Martin. They are low -level fighters of my book.

Vasily Lomachenko, 135-LB IBF champion, has been expelled on the list due to a year of inactivity, and this is a questionable movement. In this climate, with the fighters who said goodbye and blessed with Mega-Money’s fights against Canelo Alvarez, it should not be a great thing that Lomachenko has been out of action for 12 months.

The last list of Ring 10 Top 10

1. Gervonta Davis
2. Keyshawn Davis
3. Shakur Stevenson
4. William Zepeda
5. Raymond Muratalla
6. Andy Cruz
7. Frank Martin
8. Denys berinchyk
9. Tevin Farmer
10. Sam Noakes

This list needs to fix. To begin with, Keyshawn must be pushed on the list to the bottom because he has never fought anyone and refuses to face the talented Olympic Gold Medalist 2020, Andy Cruz. Instead Keyshawn is at number 2, it should be close to the bottom at number 9 based on his refusal to fight against Cruz and his weak resume. Note: Keyshawn was almost eliminated by the second -level fighter Nahir Albright. Since then he has not fought against a living body.

WBC Lightweight Champion Shakur Stevenson It should not be qualified at the number 3 because he has not fought anyone decent other than Edwin de los Santos since he moved to the 135 -pound division in 2023.

Shakur’s bad presentation against Los Santos, with him running for 12 rounds, is enough reason to not be in the number 3. The other Stevenson wins in Lightweight have been against a gentle opposition, with victories on them. Three cans: Shuichiro Yoshino, Artem Harutyunyan, and Josh Padley, also known the electrician.

Frank Martin does not deserve to be on the top 10 list after his loss in front of the Davis tank and his struggle to beat Artem Harutyunyan. Martin too slow and muscle to be on the list of the first ten, period.

The fixed ranking: Better?

1. Gervonta Davis
2. Andy Cruz
3. Abdullah Mason
4. William Zepeda
5. Raymond Muratalla
6. Lamont roach
7. Tevin Farmer
8. Floyd Schofield
