Great WW rankings. On SMW, I think Abraham beats Degale.

On MW, why is Canelo number TWO if he has never fought a true middleweight or above 155? I couldn't really rate him at MW because...he's never fought a 160 pounder. Just cuz of the lineal title, I suppose?

 

Badou Jack @ #7. :nono

He's top 3.

You could make a case for him to be #1 or #2

 

I think you have Saunders a tad high, and Khytrov shouldn't be on the list yet. Khytrov has upside to be sure, but I don't think he is even ready to face fringe contenders.

Switch Saunders with Lee, and Khytrov with Heiland IMO.

Oddly enough I agree with MVC that Jack should be higher at SMW. Strange day, but he looked solid in his last outing.

I pretty much agree with your LHW.

At WW I'd switch Garcia with Chaves. At the least he gave Bradley a much harder fight than Garcia ever could. The DQ was BS.

LWW looks good.

SWW/JMW.... meh what a mess of a division

Rest I haven't had time to pay much attention to lately outside of #1 or 2 fighting.

 

So someone can rank Hughie Fury over Tyson Fury and you think that's totally chill and rational?

That leaves way too much to non-quantifiable opinion.

You don't judge what you think will or would happen. You judge by what does happen. Or, ya know, at least you should.

You probably had Amir Imam top 5 before last weekend. Or, at the very least, you thought that was an easily arguable opinion. Perhaps you have had Mike Lee resting inside the top 10 for several years now, too.

Sorry but I'll stick with assessing what they do in the ring. Training vids and punking cabbies doesn't matter more than proving ones' skills against other fighters who have a proven skill level.

Over and over, time and again, these super phenom awesome cats who everyone fancies way above more proven fighters end up never accomplishing a fraction of what some of the fighters ranked below them already had done or were in the act of doing.

 

Here's the catch he has beaten better fighters than several of the men you rank above him.

CST80 Divisional Rankings = judging fighters NOT by who they fight and how they perform in those fights

 

Well, we agree there.

Your logic shows that someone is totally rational to have done so, however. And that is a major issue I take with how you come to your conclusions on rankings.

 

You were close to a troll a while back.

You're growing on me lately.

I certainly respect, I mean, probably 75% of what you say. Considering it's BF24, I'd say that's pretty good.

And I too understand your argument. I just strongly feel the balance should be 80-20 at closest in favor of my argument. But hey, that's what it's all about. Always credit for your willingness to spend loads of time on certain things like this thread.
