Boxing News taking a big stance

WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE DEFENDING THE CROOKS THAT ARE THE WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF?
The **** is wrong with you?

 

What are you talking about? Rigo last fought at 122 in 2019. And no, he does not hold a WBA title at 122. Akhamadaliev and Figueroa are their champions. Yipee! 2 champs! For no ****ing reason... besides sanctioning fees.

Pacquiao beat Thurman 2 years ago. He has not had a single fight lined up since then.
And the WBA stripped him of his titles and gave him the BS "champion in recess" designation.

You don´t get to blame Covid for 2 years of inactivity. Everyone else had fights. Manny didn´t even have anything lined up. He just sat on the sidelines.

How is it unreasonable to not rank someone who hasn´t fought in 2 years?

 

I'm sorry, isn't the UK allowing people to gather this month for the first time in a year and a half?

What planet do you guys live on where everyone in boxing has been so super active in 2020 and 2021 EXCEPT for Manny Pacquaio?

The Transnational Ratings have Mauris Briedis as the World Champ at Cruiserweight and Artur Beterbiev as the World Champ at Light Heavyweight. When Pac fights Spence next month, Manny will have fought just as many times in the last two years as Mauris and Beterbiev. And neither of them has any fights lined up.

They removed Pac from the ratings ENTIRELY due to some arbitrary rule they put in place themselves that no one holds them to.

Ring has no problem rating Pac after having not fought in two years because a goddamn global pandemic was going on. Neither does the WBC or the IBF.

I'm done arguing. Good luck with the dumb policies.

And good luck with NOT recognizing the World Welterweight title next month simply because of a rule put in place themselves that no one gives a **** about.

Can't wait for Boxing News to come out next month and tell everyone why Spence-Pac IS NOT a World Title fight.

Impeccably bad timing on their part, too.

 

Love the stance they taking but maaan... Matt Christie took an eternity to get round to say what this stance would be

But yeah, totally agree with the thinking behind Boxing News' decision...

 

He is fighting next month for the World Welterweight Title. I don't know if you got the memo.

 

Here's hoping the Covid variant doesn't get too bad, or in 16 months, you will have to remove everyone above them from your ratings and you'll have Vergil Ortiz and Jaron Ennis as your top two welterweights ...

And you'll have to spend days explaining why they are the TWO BEST at the weight and why their matchup is to crown the WORLD's best welter. (LOL)

Good luck with your policies.

What will you be doing when Spence and Pac fight for the World Welterweight title next month?

Will you guys be sitting around trying to find a way to rank Bud Crawford's next unrated opponent?

Or will you hurriedly try to put out new ratings the next day ranking Manny as the #1 or #2 behind Spence, and hoping they sign for a return so you can save face and name the winner of the rematch the World Champ ... well after everyone else has already done so?

 

So probably #2 then?

You will hurriedly try to put out new ratings the next day ranking Manny as the #1 or #2 behind Spence, and hope they sign for a return so you can save face and name the winner of the rematch the World Champ ... well after everyone else has already done so.

Got it.

And one last word of advice, it's a dumb policy. It doesn't take a lunatic to understand that. Don't box yourself into making stupid choices and blame it on POLICY. Especially when you guys wrote the policy.

Good luck fielding questions next month when everyone realizes you guys dropped the ball.

 

Boxing is a sport first and a job second. If fighters get into boxing to make mo ey my advice is dont, the percentage of fighters that make a living from it is miniscule. If they wanna do the t for the glory, the sport the competition then go for it.

I for one dont give one iota how much a fighter earns.

Too many belts rends to lead to easy money for meaningless fights which is the complete opposite of what fans want

 

Champion : a person who has surpassed all rivals in a sporting contest or other competition.

This pretty much ends all debate on the thread. Have as many belts as u want but dont try and tell me having a belt makes you a champion

 

You don't have to strip anyone of anything. (That's what I have been trying to get through your thick head.)

Your job is just to RATE fighters. That's it.

NOT to punish them for NOT FOLLOWING YOUR POLICY. (Don't you get that Jose Sulaiman?)

You guys made up a policy and chose to follow it. (NOBODY is holding you to it. NOBODY.)

Others didn't institute the same DUMB policy. Now they look smart and you look dumb, because you followed a dumb policy you guys made up on your own.

In fact, you guys are beginning to look like the last people to cross the finish line.

This fight is going down in history as the World Welterweight title fight.

You guys blew it.
