No Agbeko is a nobody who was lucky he won the last fight against a journeyman. Vic need to fight someone better in that weight to see him moe up, someone like Hasegawa.
Huh? He should go up the rankings . . . but top 5? Who the **** is Agbeko as far as the P4P list is concerned? The guy is not in the top ten ratings.
It will add another title in another weight division. Vic ALREADY should be close to the top 5 based on what he's already done.
Fair enough, I wouldn't argue it a bit. I'd rather reward the guy who's actively actively accomplishing things than the ones who are on extended breaks, even if it's for legit reasons.
Im over p4p rankings..they so often do not have the best fighters in them and they favour the more well known guys. I really dont think beating Abegko should shoot Vic up very far...But it should count for something.
beating agbeko and winning 118 title is better than being inactive like bhop, mosley, izzy and maybe rafa
Vic is commonly shoved to the bottom of lists under fighters who have done much less that him, as well. How any so called boxing 'expert' can say that VIc is lower down than Chad Dawson astounds me. 1. Manny Pacquiao (140) 2. Floyd Mayweather Jr. (147) 3. Joe Calzaghe (175) 4.

That's the first thing I always think about when i hear how good Darch is. I can't get it out of my head, I feel like if they meet again it's the same thing. (Kept messing up the post)
I can't necessarily think of 5 people who could go above him but if it was up to me---Manny, JMM, Hopkins and Mosley would all be ahead of him. So maybe #5 isn't a bad spot. Should be a real barn burner though.
