    I don't look at orgs rankings much, maybe not in years but thats one of the worst I have ever seen.

    That ranking is terrible but truth be told who should be higher? The division is a ghost town!

    Charlo is still running from this fight, crazy!

    MW certainly isn't at its best, but it's really easy to find 5 fighters better than Radovan or Gualiteri to be honest!

    Bored of GGG at this stage. I enjoyed the Murata fight and I'm looking forward to rewatching Canelo3, but everything post-Dev has been underwhelming. This dude is no Bhop. Only reason he's not been knocked off his pedestal @ 160 is because of the absolute lack of names coming through coupled with clowns like JermAll, Bum Bum etc. STILL being terrified of him. It doesn't help that Canelo is also a hoover @ 168, sucking up talent and interest. Could we get a GGG-JermEll superfight going? Middleweight is absolute garbage right now. Especially with a binman basher like Munguia being considered top 5 fml

    there’s absolutely no money in holding a bantamweight belt hostage. it was a no brainer for Butler to fight Inoue, it was his golden ticket

    He is probably retiring or 1 fight away from it. Doesn't need a belt to fight no names and give % of your earnings. He probably wants to leave the sport on a win, with as much money as possible.

    False. He could have gotten championship pay for an easy title defense.

    So we'll be getting Zerafa vs Falcao for the vacant title? IBF are scraping the barrel.

    I think he'll go for eubank or Liam. I think dazn cut his purse expectations big time
