    They STILL have Cristobal Cruz, who lost his IBF title back in MAY, rated at number 4, still giving him the credit of having the IBF title. That is truely ridiculous. It's a major boxing organization, yet it is so lazy that it doesn't even bother to update the top 10 of a major weight class after 2 full months????!!!

    Furthermore, it has Luevano still ranked in the top 5, which regardless of what anyone says, I think is completely ridiculous. It's not like his resume is any more impressive than Rojas' or Gamboa's. I realize that the WBA, WBC and WBO are corrupt and flawed, but at least they have a reason for their actions, shady as it may be. :D But, that ranking is just showing very plainly how lazy the chiefs at the company, or the website workers are. Its unnacceptable.

    There's my moan for the day, haha.:roll:

    Seriously??? He beat Cruz and Billy Dib. He only beat Concepcion because Abe had problems hearing the bell. He also got thoroughly dominated by Juanma and lost to Honorio. He also drew Santiago, who Concepcion soundly beat. Why forget his losses when talking about his resume?

    Whereas, Rojas lost in what is talked about as being a clear robbery to Diaz, and has also taken the WBC title from Aoh in JAPAN, and beat Guty Espadas in MEXICO. Gamboa, you might have a point, but still, I think rankings should also be based on current performance, and Luevano was absolutely rocked against Lopez.
