Fury and Wilder have been taken off boxrec...

How did Wilder hold up the belt? I understand Fury. Wilder was fighting regularly in Fury's absence. Serious question.

 

It is still on boxrec...

I agree with their unactive status ruling and removal from their rankings. That said Boxrec have done weird stuff which I couldn't understand.

AJ went back to number 1 after beating Ruiz but a week or so after they did recalculation that meant he went to number 3.

Last week Gilberto Ramirez was the number 1 ranked LHW now he is 5th and callum Smith is ranked number 1.

 

he held it up by refusing to unify with any other champion while facing poor competition.

 

Whyte was mandatory for a year.

 

Who cares about boxrec or their rankings

They are there to track records and that's it.

 

Ah, I got you. I wouldn't worry, no one takes their rankings all that serious beyond a very rough guide.

e.g. They have Chisora at #7. I like Chisora, but that is pretty wild considering the recent losses he has taken.

 

I always expect pro-Fury stuff given your username and it's a little jarring every time.

 

I get the COVID factor, but to me all this inactivity for this long is inexcusable.

Wlad was the greatest heavyweight of this century, partly because even though he didn't have great competition, he regularly defended his title. This postponement thing is beyond ridiculous. Fury is no Wlad, Lewis, Holyfield, Holmes, Tyson, or any of the top 20 ATGs partly because of this fact. He just doesn't want to fight, apparently.

I don't buy his latest excuse. But to be completely honest, I never liked Fury anyway, his fighting style bores the hell out of me and I see him as goofy Jethro Bodean mother****er anyway.

 

Burn them at the stake !!!

 

He just got stripped from the Boxrec rankings, it's hardly a pass. People are just pointing out that anyone with more than a passing interest in boxing generally ignores those rankings as @Goose pointed out above.
