Margarito's 4th? Oh, by the way, I know you usually wait until they've fought there but just a head's up that Ponce de Leon's fighting at feather again. Actually I don't think he ever officially moved up.
Yes but it was close and Froch has two top level wins since. Kessler sat on his ass rubbed his eye and fought a bum.
Lara can consider himself VERY unlucky to be the lowest ranked fighter out of himself, Williams and Molina. I know you have to go with results but I'd give him the maximum benefit and have it Williams, Lara then Molina.
Nice one.:good Just a question, do you put a lot of faith in fighters who move up in weight? Say the likes of Montiel and Segura for instance, they've recently moved up and faced not so good opposition(maybe a bit harsh on Fernando, but Cermeno is past his best) and have quite a high ranking. Not suggesting you move them, just wondering if that's the case.
Still, if you don't rank fighters on recent H2H results as a MAJOR criteria then what do you rank on? Kessler beat Froch and its not as if Froch has since beat anyone that you wouldn't favour Kessler to beat.
Just below Lara gives him more than enough credit for that win IMHO and also addresses Lara drawing to Molina and losing Williams when he really should have been awarded wins in both fights.
It all depends really. in both cases they moved to divisions where there not paticularly deep in terms of quality. if the division is stacked and they fight a nobody they may not get ranked.
