We should be thankful ngannou joined the party since he brings real excitement to boxing . Never before in history a fighter from another league "messed up" world class hw boxing the way ngannou did. Nobody is sure how to judge him - was it unbelieveble luck combined with a unprepared fury or does really the impossible happen ? The impossible that a zero pro boxing fights contender is plug and play able to face top hw champions ? I think currently no promoter is willing to send in a valuable cash cow fighter ( aj, usyk etc ) to find out how ngannou,s real performance looks like . I expect a good but no top boxer ( hrgovic , zhang ? ) to face ngannou in future and everybody will CAREFULLY watch if the fury fight was sheer luck or if ngannou indeed achieved something that was never achieved in history of boxing. In any case he really is build like a tank , and most probably he has a chin that no other boxer has ( after i saw how he ate fury,s elbow )
Graciano Rocchigiani should've bankrupted and rid us of the WBC. and this is very disrespectful to fighters they just decided to rank him over. There really isn't a sure thing that he beats anyone in the top 10. This is beyond insane. I like Ngannou as a warrior but please..............respectfully Ngannou is gonna be in hell if he actually fights a puncher.
Who lost his ranking for francis to be integrated?the only fighter deserving of losing his spot would be white Edit: yeah like i tought white is now out of the top 10
have never won a fight yet you are number 10. WBC , they never cease to amaze me how corrupt they can be.
I don't think you guys realize how average the hw division is. Name me a boxer and I'll tell you everything wrong with them and how Francis could upset them.
Francis probably does legitimately rank in spot #10 considering just how **** this era of heavyweights are.
So the 10th best HW in the world according to the WBC is a guy who has never won a fight? If you are a young prospect who is grafting his way up, taking fights and winning them this sends a horrible message. Everything wrong with the sport is on display right here.
Boxrec's algorithm has 0-1-0 Ngannou at #584. #594 has a 10-0-1 record. So it seems like the algorithm took into account who Ngannou lost to. WBC ranks him at...#10
He could follow the Ortiz model.... Do **** all to get there in the first place, lose to the current champ and fight no-one else remotely near the top 10? This is the We Be Corrupt, after all...
Who did #594 fight to be 10-0-1? Could be a bunch of RJJfans and their misses. Whereas Francis fought the #1 and barely lost.
TBF I don't either. Just found the degree of outrage amusing given how ridiculous WBC have been in the past and not only does nobody bat an eyelid but they even rate bang average fighters because they were rated highly by a dumb org temporarily.
