    Further proof that the Ring panel do not watch fights that are not on US tv.

    They can't be consulting them then.

    How does Murray put in a performance like that and leap above Acosta?

    Having been one of Aguacerito's biggest fans for a few years, I can safely say he would molest Murray if they ever fought.

    But Acosta is till much more proven and has by far the better wins.

    Guerrero's win over Escobedo is way better than anything on Murray's record. Vazquez has better wins as well.

    Do you honestly believe John Murray's the 5th best lightweight in the world?

    Can't argue with that :good. Murray at 9 or 10 is perfectly acceptable.

    In the last 18-24months the rankings have being a bit weird. Before they were more or less spot on but atm I don't know what's up with them.
