    Can someone please tell me how this could be? Lorenzo is number the one contender Duddy number two Rubio number three How does Rubio skip the line?:huh Is it because Lorenzo is number one in IBF and says he is going for a shot at Abraham? :patsch And what about Duddy his fighting a tune up on 28th and would be available for a shot at Pavlik after and should by rights get a shot before Rubio:nono Also Rubio pulled out of his Eliminator bout with David Lopez which by rights would earned him a shot at Pavlik:twisted: Now I like Rubio and think he and Pavlik would be a exciting fight while it lasts but really think he should fight some kind of Eliminator to earn a shot at the Ghost:yikes :bbb

    After Duddy got messed up in his last fight Arum started talking about Rubio with Duddy to follow. Shortly thereafter they are listed 1/2. No clue on this one.:lol:

    Rubio just knocked out Cuevas so maybe that was enough to move him up ahead of Duddy and Lorenzo

    I followed that because of Pavlik. We were probably posting at the same time. Rubio was named shortly after Duddy got messed up and couldn't meet Pavlik this June and Arum announced Rubio with Duddy later. Within days they were 1-2. Promoter interference.


    edit
    Damned. Got them mixed up. Lorenzo/Duddy was the talk and that is how they got rated. Lorenzo wanted Duddy type money so he lost the fight to Lockett. Sorry. Arum throws out so many names and their are so many different 'top 10's' I can't keep the straight.:oops:
