Gary Lockett number one! is the WBO on crack?

Let's hope not

 

Who the **** is Gary Lockett?

 

My mom changed her name to Gary?! And she didn't even call to tell me?! WTF is happening in this world?! She changes her name and gets a title shot before me! :twisted:

 

sebastian szbik number 3:yikes :yikes :yikes

 

Don't worry, Abraham will probably take care of Lockett - they may fight on December 8 in Switzerland.

 

Lockett is a Warren fighter so him being WBO #1 isn't surprising .

The WBO tends to rank British fighters high not just Warren fighters(although them more than others) , Martin Power was ranked #1 at Super-Flyweight for a while(Power who's a career long and big Bantamweight who just aint that good) .

Michael Jennings was ranked #1 at Welterweight , I actually would have had no problem with him top 15 but anywhere about #13 or so was crazy .

Zbik is unrealisticly high because of his WBO-Intercontinental fights .



British fighters ranked by the WBO:
Michael Hunter #9 at Super Bantamweight(nothing too crazy there except Hunter won't be fighting at Super Bantam again)

featherweight:
Nicky Cook-8th
Stephen Foster Jnr-7th
Derry Matthews-6th

Cook deserves his place(actually unlucky not to be higher despite being destroyed by Luevano) , whatever about Matthews but Foster at #7 is beyond crazy .

Kevin Mitchell-5th at Super featherweight , maybe deserving to be 14th or 15th but like Matthews is ranked high as he's one of Warren's favourite prospects .

Amier Khan 6th at Lightweight :roll: , that's only going to get higher too as Earl is ranked 8th(which would of been a fair ranking had he actually been deserving of his #1 position when he fought Katsidis) . Thaxton who deserves to be somewhere just inside the top 15 is absent as he's not a Warren fighter . Having Khan above European champ Yuri Romanov is crazy .

Colin Lynes probably unlucky(as British and European champion) to not be ranked at Light-Welterweight but he's not a Warren fighter .

Jennings is back up to #2 at Welterweight(yes he's a Warren fighter)
Kevin Anderson(a non Warren fighter) maybe a little unlucky not to make the top 15 .

Light-Middleweight:Jamie Moore(a non Warren fighter) ridiculously outside the top 15 , Moore was recently dropped from about #10 in the WBC to 16 because of inactivity but the WBO seem to factor that in less and he is fighting soon .

Middleweight:Lockett(a Warren fighter) at #1

Super-Middleweight: Carl Froch at #5(a non Warren fighter) probably unlucky to be behind Pascal and Braehmer

Light-heavyweight: Dean Francis(non Warren fighter) at #12 , very good fighter who's been hampered by shoulder injuries , his opposition lately hasn't been that great(beating Ovill McKenzie to become Commonwealth champo his best win) but you could probably factor him in there on talent .

Cruiserweight: Haye at #2(non Warren fighter) seems a fair ranking .
Herbie Hide at #8 , totally undeserved but he has strong German backing now .

Heavyweight: Matt Skelton(Warren fighter) #6............for what exactly I don't know . Top 15 okay but having him as high as 6 is just too much .

So out of the 14 British fighters ranked by the WBO , 9 are with Warren and all of those are ranked 8th or better............make your own minds up .

 

well, warren may have good relations with the WBO, but kohl OWNS the ****in orgainzation!!!!

 

I think both have 50 % in shares of the WBO

 

Frank Warren has HUGE power within the WBO, I'm sure of this.

 

Who the hell is Lockett?

 

He's from just outside of Newport in Wales which makes him hard as **** by default :yep

 

tough guy can bang a bit but really...number 1!???
