The Transnational Boxing Rankings

brook above khan is just ........................................

 

How close would the winner of the upcoming Gavin-Bundu fight be to a Top 10 ranking at WW, Matt? :think

 

I think Welterweight is the deepest division in boxing, both currently and historically.

The WW rankings are going to be interesting in the next few months. You got Brook-Porter, Mayweather-Maidana II, Pacquiao-Algieri, and Khan-Guerrero/Alexander.

 

I think Bundu lurks just outside the Top 10 as it is, and you could make a case that his resume is just about as good as Brook's. Adding Gavin to it might allow him to slide in, depending on what happens with Brook-Porter. If Gavin wins, he probably takes Bundu's contender-in-waiting slot.

 

The P4P TBRB is very poor. Garcia just lost to Herrera.

No Stevenson?

No 3G?

Floyd still at number 1 after nearly losing to Maidana and Pac beating Bradley, who is actually rated P4P universally?

Needs work fellas. Appreciate the concept, but the end product isn't much deviation from mainstream bad sources.

 

That was a clear robbery. There's no way to score it for him and Herrera's recent outings include an L to the very dull Karim Mayfield.

At least you feel he can be removed, he isn't elite quality IMO, but that's debate.

He won the lineal title via KO1, crushed a few other ranked contenders in the process. I am not feeling his ducking of Kovalev at all, but if we're going to rank D Garcia, who just got his lineal championship from a competitive fight with Matthysse and just got a gift decision against a fringer... I think he fits the bill.

No. He's only beaten one ranked fighter. I wouldn't rank him above Roman Gonzalez based upon that win.

I feel P4P should be current and up to date. Floyd's recent outings include unspectacular and unranked Robert Guerrero, who should never have been ranked even as high as 5 at Welter, Canelo and a very close W to Maidana. I scored the Maidana fight a draw.

Needless to say, the guy's not fighting the top opposition in his own weight class, nor the class he is holding the belt to above his preferred weight and hasn't looked all that impressive.

The Canelo fight indeed was sketchy with the weight draining.

Pacquaio has the KO loss, but do we take into account JMM is P4P ranked and JMM has been showing all of the traits of a roid abuser?

And do we take into account that Bradley is P4P ranked and Pac just decisively beat him for the second time?

I feel that's superior to Mayweather's recent showings.

But if you disagree, then what would you say if Maidana 2 is also very close and controversial?

I feel it should be a mix of resume, up to date resume and ability and other factors.

Do we say a W is a W or do decisive/dominant victories count for more than close?

Also, Rigo is way too low, though he is not the most active. This will change with new promotion.

You guys have him under Wlad Klitschko and only right over D Garcia.

Not too low?

 

Froch also IMO should be 9 or 10, Rigo moving up to around 5 or 6, perhaps higher.

Rigo is flawless lately.

 

:thumbsup

Bundu's resume does outrank Brook's, for me. If he adds Gavin that removes any doubt whatsoever.

 

How many spots should Brook move up?

Dunno if I'd put him ahead of Maidana but its debatable

 

come here to eat crow, i criticised brooks ranking before the fight because of his relatively low level of opposition, i was wrong
