“Most Overrated Boxers of All Time”: Ring Magazine’s Latest Lightweight Rankings Sparks Outrage Among Fans

The Ring Magazine has announced new lightweight [135 lb] rankings. As per the list, while Vasyl Lomachenko has the no. 1 rank, undefeated Raymond Muratalla occupies 10th place. With Devin Haney as the undisputed champion of the division, Vasyl Lomachenko, Gervonta Davis, Issac Cruz, Ryan Garcia, and Shakur Stevenson comprise the top five of the list in the given order. Meanwhile, the former unified champion George Kambosos Jr. has been ranked 7th.

Several people were dissatisfied by the ranks occupied by Lomachenko, Davis, and Garcia. In fact, some were of the view that Vasyl Lomachenko was overrated and did not deserve first place since he lost his last fight to Haney. On the other hand, some felt Gervonta Davis deserved to be above Lomachenko on the list. Meanwhile, others objected to Garcia’s position.

Fans object to Devin Haney’s lightweight rankings by The Ring Magazine involving Lomachenko, Garcia, and Davis

While fans were happy to see Edwin De Los Santos and Raymond Muratalla on the list, they disagreed with the places Lomachenko, Garcia, and even Davis received. According to the list, the current IBO world lightweight champion, Maxi Hughes, occupied the 9th rank. In one fan’s opinion, while Edwin De Los Santos deserved praise, “Ryan Garcia and Maxi on this list” were “laughable“.

Meanwhile, one fan felt that Gervonta Davis deserved to be above Lomachenko and Shakur Stevenson above Cruz and Garcia. In addition, they said, “Gervonta should be the next in line vs Haney. I’m treating it how the UFC does their rankings. Just my thoughts”. 

Likewise, one fan said, “Gotta flip ‘Tank’ and Loma, and Ryan and Issac“.

Similarly, a fan inquired how Vasyl Lomachenko was above ‘Tank’ Davis. In their personal opinion, Lomachenko “has got Ukraine favouritism“. In addition to that, they pointed out, “He’s got 3 losses in 17 fights”.

On the other hand, a fan stated, “I can’t see how Isaac Cruz or Ryan Garcia are above Kambosos at this point.” “Maybe because Cruz won his last 2 & Kambosos didn’t, but Ryan?” they added.

According to one fan, Davis, who just returned from jail “should be number 1“.

Meanwhile, one user declared Lomanchemko to be one of the “most overrated boxers of all time“.
