    The website list these as the July rankings, but they appear to be the June list. The rankings they use could be from any credible organisation as most names appear in other lists in similar order.

    Unfortunately the list of champions is where it all falls apart as none of the champions could credibly be included in the list of contenders. I assume they put together a decent list of contenders, but then struggle to find anyone to fight for the belts and the search goes on to anyone with a pulse. Lots of divisions have no champ, but 168 has a Champ and an Interim Champ. I thought Holyfield was HW Champ.

    Who actually cares about the WBF's rankings? I remember when there were a few Warren fighters who held that bauble. You dont see it contested here much anymore.
