*****The New Official ESB Divisional Rankings***Updated 3/25**

:rofl

So what do you think of the rest of the ranking.......not counting Bute of course

 

Almost as good then Boxrec

More seriously you have a really good ranking there some i can argue but it's more a perception issue then anything else :good

Keep on the good work!

 

Thanks :good

 

I'm asking myself exactly the same question. He's out of my top 10 at 168.

 

Marco Huck moved up to heavyweight, why do you still have him ranked at cruiserweight? Hes fighting Povetkin in like a month.

 

You are like the third person to mention this, yet no one says anything about Juan Manuel Marquez being #1 at lightweight :nut Marco Huck is still the WBO champ according to the site, and Huck has stated in many interviews that he will most likely move back to 200lbs after this fight (unless he wins & gets Klitschko ). So just cause a fighter goes up a weight class for a single fight, it does not mean they are no longer the old weight. Same deal with Pacquiao....he fought for a 154 lb belt, but he remained in everyones 147lb rankings. Guys like Devon Alexander the state that they will no longer fight in a weight class, get dropped from that weight.....this is not the case at this point with Marco Huck.

 

An official statement by the WBO:

"Huck came to us requesting the retention champion belt, despite the conduct of the event in another category - said in a statement by the World Boxing Organization. - We went to meet him. In this case, within ten days after the fight with Povetkin, Huck must decide whether he would continue his career at heavyweight or heavyweight enters"

:deal

ESB's ratings are more accurate then the Ring :yep

 

Glad to see you guys added Oosthuizen to your top 10 at 168lbs after the update. I have a good feeling that 2012 will be the rise of him as a legit contender in the division.

 

Just how bad is this list?

 

Same thing here.

How can anyone rank Thompson on #5.

 

Exactly, and how the **** can one have Helenius #4 when he got his ass kicked just recently in his own backyard?

Champion: Wlad
1. Vitali
2. Povetkin
3. Haye
4. Chambers (should stop bitching out of fights)
5. Solis (doesn't have a fight scheduled and will drop out soon, looked freaking skillful for 2:40mins of the first round vs. Vitali though)
6. Adamek (looked like **** vs. Vitali, win over out of shape Arreola is reasonably good)
7. Fury (beat fat Chisora which is an excellent win)
8. Chisora
9. Arreola
10. Helenius


Pulev is stiff as **** and couldn't crack an egg to save his life, Thompson is ancient by now, Dimitrenko needed crooked judges to beat Sprott, Boytsov STILL hasn't fought anyone of note and Price should step up the competition soon as he ain't particularly young either.

 

Having Chisora above of Helenius is like having Marquez above Pacquiao :nut As for Eddie Chambers not being top 5, or even top 10....there is NO debate. Chambers has only fought one time since Mar 2010, while Thompson has fought 3 times, and against better competition. Chambers also declined to fight Thompson after their first fight was called off due to injury. Thompson is the official IBF title challenger to Wladimir Klitschko, while Chambers is a inactive fighter of almost a year. So you can question it all you want, but you can't question facts, and the facts state that Thompson should be ranked far higher then Chambers.

 

Which is perfectly reasonable. According to

Chisora vs. Helenius is the most blatant robbery of the year and a total disgrace. Treating it as a win for Chisora is absolutely fine with me. Vitali did the same and chose him over Helenius for a title fight.

Fair enough

 

whats the formula to these ranking Rummy. You told me rankings had to have a formula??
