    don't you think using "world ranked" as a defense in this sport is politics?

    Doesn't being world ranked help get you fights? Or I missing something

    define world ranked?
    do you mean a federation has joined his bandwagon because it puts them in the spotlight even though he hasn't fought anyone with a pulse

    The ones that ranked him are well respected and every fighter he beat was undefeated

    fighters shouldn't be judged by their record. they should be judged by who they fought and when
    no federation should be "well respected" when all of them are a key part of all problems in boxing

    do you remember how many threads were made about matthysse before his last fight?
    and matthysse is building his rep over here....

    you're talking about a guy who has KO'd "unbeaten fighters" as if that's a way to gauge his ability

    if they were belly dancers, they would still be wide open to body shots

    So... answer my question then. Why is he so avoided? Even Dutchboy and Rigo ducked him already

    did you know who he was before you heard about his KO 'feat'?
    it's easy to call fighters "avoided" just because they get on your map...but it isn't hard to cross the pond and make the same statement without the benefit of being able to line up your own pick of opponents

    Politics is blocking it. He doesn't have the promotion I'm guessing
