Danny Green rated at 168lbs by the IBF

Congrats, a sensational move

 

whats his IBO ranking phil?

 

6, in the division he is actually competing in. Not one he hasn't competed in in 3 years

 

whaaaaaaaaat?

Thought he was the champ at 200lbs?

 

Yes he is. All top-100 fighters are ranked including all champs from the top 5 bodies and that includes ours so people can see where they truly stand

 

Phil, that sounds good in theory.

I guess, as champ though wouldn't you feel you are not even regarded as champ by your own sanctioning body and what you really hold is just a paper title?

I remember the same with Geale before he fought Mundine, he was somewhere outside the top 10.

 

No not at all! Good to know where a champ truly lies in the mix don't you think. A paper champion is one who has not won the belt in the ring or due to politics (such as when Ali was stripped of his title and license), not someone who has fought and won it in the ring.

The other fly in the ointment of your statement is that the Champions name appears at the top of the ratings with Champion: in front of it. So yes the organisation does regard the champ as 'the champ'

 

What sort of crazy logic is that?

 

oh just something I pulled out of left field. Give Flamego a lobotomy would you? He's struggling...

 

Top Bodies?? That includes ours?? Are you refering to the IBO or your own body Phil??

Your last tearful comments over the phone today suggested no less than..

"Flamey, can you believe it?? The Doctor says I'm suffering from a Rare Flesh Eating Disease... It only attacks the stomach area of a grown man".

Allowing a brief moment of Sandwich munching, Phil finally closed the TRAGIC NEWS.. " The Doc says the disease has spread rapidly, IT'S UNCONTROLLABLE NOW.. DAMN it, there's only 63 years before it totally engulfs my ENTIRE stomach!!!!

Oh Phil, We feel your pain.

 

I would normally only expect this from the IBO, especially after sanctioning Dominguez in a world title fight.:rofl

 

Nuremburg Rally was funnier than you Flamengo....

 

McGrain McGrain.

 

And how long had Danny competed at cruiser before he got a title fight with the IBO? Apples and apples for mine.

Personally, I think both orgs can be criticised here. Certainly the IBF. That ranking is ridiculous. We've been over this Phil, we have reached a truce and I still want you to buy me a coffee So I'm not starting a barney here LOL.
