    It isn't dumb at all.

    They had Huck above Cunningham so Hernandez beating Cunningham wouldn't be 1v2.

    Also Wlad never beat 1/2 whilst 1/2 by the rings rankings and as such didnt satisfy the championship requirements of the board

    I personally consider wlad the champion of the world but their decision to remain consistent is far from dumb.

    Has there been any talk of dropping fighters from the rankings who are drug cheats amongst the ratings panels :think

    Marquez has indicated - once again - that he wants no part of a Mayweather rematch. What does he need to do? There's nobody at 147 on the same planet, much less tier.

    What does he need to do to win the TBR title? Beat Marquez.

    When asked if he would welcome a rematch with Floyd Mayweather down the line, Marquez shut the door on that possibility.

    "I don't want to fight him again because everyone saw what happened in 2009 and I think it's better if he goes his way and I go mine," Marquez said while referring to his one-sided loss to Mayweather that took place on September 19th, 2009.

    Vitali will crack Stiverne's skull. The Klitshkos are the best fighters in the world, not Void. Let Void get into a ring with either Klitschkos and you will see him hurt badly. SOB Ward claims he can knock both Klitschkos out, so let's get it one ASAP! SOB will refuse to fight either one, or course.

    There was talk of it, but we decided that it would be wiser to wait.

    We don't want to rush to conclusions when there isn't anything like a consistent policy in the sport, when fighters who can afford criminal geniuses operating as strength coaches can circumvent tests, and when there is real evidence suggesting that certain -very popular- fighters who get caught have the benefit of a cover-up. In fact, most fighters who do it are not caught and to penalize fighters who are caught would make a mess of the rankings without doing much in the way of equity.

    However, any fighter banned from fighting for any reason (excluding medical reasons) is looking at getting dropped altogether from the rankings once the one-year mark is passed, as per our charter (--which you guys should read on the website).

    What did Geale do to become no. 1 in MW?

    Never mind, I looked at the April rankings, and it showed that he was already No. 1.

    Where will Jones be ranked at cruiser after his win over #5 Lebedev?

    Some good fights coming up in the division, Huck-Afolabi III & Wlod-Chakhkiev

    Looks like Tony Bellew is the new #10 at LHW, after beating Chilemba.

    "Heavyweight
    Champion: Vacant"

    Good idea, may as well blow credibility with the very first rankings so that people can move on before reading the rest.
