Not exactly. Sometimes getting the "w" is partly luck or favouritism or error or lenient refereeing. Rematch clauses in "final eliminators" is the...
I do not care about rankings. I am not protesting Whyte's ranking. I am saying rankings don't really denote quality, since you asked. But even so,...
Whyte got ranked by beating Chisora then, a fight 50% of viewers thought he lost.
He has a better ranking/record. He has received better chances.
Whyte initially earned his Ring rating how? By losing to a young AJ and a very disputed decision over Chisora? Because they were on pay per view...
I am talking about Skelton on his early run. He was already old but was a decent British level fighter. He was already late 30s. You seem to want...
Nothing extreme at all. I am saying a guy who has not one convincing win at world level against anyone under 40, and has never won a world or even...
I am not arguing that Skelton can beat AJ. I am saying Skelton would be on par with Whyte. You seem to be saying "no, becsuse Ring ratings"
I have said a thousand times i do not put a lot of stock in Ring ratings. I would not criticise Fury for defending against Whyte either, or any...
Fury improved. I cannot remember having much opinion on Usyk. Even now. He is good at least. I was wrong about Parker though. He never lived up...

They do not mean much. Ruiz Jr. was unranked when he beat Joshua. Getting ranked is about getting the right fights at the right time, and in some...
I haven't bigged anyone up. Larry Holmes doesn't need defending, his greatness is beyond doubt. Oh yeah, he is accused of being scared to fight...
The Whyte hype HAS clearly infected the classic forum. To think there are posters here who are quick to doubt the possible value of Bruno's 1st...
Morrison would rate below Bentt.
