    1. Andy Ruiz - unchanged
    2. Antony Joshua - bumped up 3 ****ing spots for beating unknown
    3. Frank Sanchez - bumped down 1 spot, for inactivity I guess
    4. Deontay Wilder - bumped up 2 spots for inactivity (same as WBA puting him at number 1, I guess he just jumps ahead the whole divison, he is just that good).
    5. Joe Joyce - he lost vs Zhang that was ranked number 14., and he managed to stay at number 5, how?
    6. Joseph Parker - bumped up 1 spot for inactivity I guess
    7. Jared Anderson - bumped up 2 spots for beating nobody, well he is american, they desirve to jump up 50+ fighters by age of 21
    8. Otto Wallin - bumped down 5 ****ing spots, why? To be replaced by fake model AJ
    9. Filip Hrgovic - bumped down 5 ****ing spots, why? To be replaced by ducking Wilder

    Nothing about the WBO makes sense.

    But yeah, you're right to point it out occasionally.

    No true boxing fan is looking at the governing body rankings anyway

    When people like Dubois are getting title shots then unfortunately we have to look at them.

    Dubois isnt at fault for Furys ducking, mandatories need to attack the title, othervise the likes of Jake Pauls can get in match with Fury

    Well if you think they make no sense then have a look at the WBA rankings. You'll have fits. Jonathan Guidry and Fat boy Miller in the top 10. It's comedy night every night at the WBA.

    I still can’t take the WBO seriously. Does anybody else think that WBA/WBC/IBF still has enough to it that puts the WBO out of place. No true, and I mean up to Lewis, true Lineal champion has ever held this belt at Heavyweight while the Lineal champion. And they’re 35 bloody year’s old. Screw the WBOgus.

    One thing to note is that Zhang moved from number 14 to the WBO interim champion.
