    It was for winning a WBO international title against Matthew hall, I remember seeing Samuel Amoako who was KO'd by Rees and beaten by McAllister ranked in the WBO top 15 about a year later as he'd won and defended (I think) their African title.

    Kid Galahad being World ranked is an odd one too. But then again, these organisations are a law too themselves. All these Intercontinental, Silver types of belts really distort the rankings and give out unfair positions to fighters.

    If used properly there worthwhile. 2 ranked fighters facing one another in a 12 rounder for an IC title to climb the rankings to push towards an eliminator.

    People push the traditional route of European/British/Commonwealth but it can work the other way. Would rather see Lee Selby fight a quality fighter for an IC belt than defend his British against an overnatched opponent.

    Always feel a bit guilty claiming Alofalabi, even though he is class.

    We only have one world class heavyweight at the moment. That is David Haye.
