Dan Rafael: WBC rankings will make you laugh and cry

Who has he beaten at Middleweight??, he beat an over-rated John Duddy and the other fight he had at Middleweight, he looked awful in the fight and he still cheated.

 

He is poor, just a case that duddy was poorer.

 

Did you see the fight?

 

No one of note.

I just wanted to know how awful he is.

 

I grumbled enough when Austin got a title shot against Wlad. The fact that that he's seen as a number one contender again, and has been for several months now...well...

It's one of those things where you expect, a dozen or so years down the line, to find out that there were a few backhanders going on. Bob Lee all over again. Allegedly, no official accusations being made, of course, m'lud.

I mean, in what twisted plane of reality is Ray Austin considered the second-best heavyweight in the world?

 

I did yes. Was a good fight but only because of the levels they they were at.

Are you honestly telling me he is in the elite level of that division?

 

The MW division is nearly in the same sort of **** order as the HWs...you know its ****ed when career welter/LMWs are fighting for two of the straps.

 

There's some good middles coming through so I think it will be quite healthy soon.

 

No, I didn't say that. I was questioning whether or not he was an 'awful fighter'

 

He certainly ain't great. fringe level at best.

 

next 12 - 18 months there COULD be some very entertaining fights being made

I wish Rocchigiani would have bust the WBC. Oh well, at least he gets his payment every month.
