    Something looks a little fishy here.

    These are the new WBC heavyweight rankings:

    Chump: Beyonce Wilder

    1 .- Alexander Povetkin (Russia) SILVER
    2 .- Anthony Joshua (GB) INTL/COMM
    3 .- Bermane Stiverne (Haiti/Canada)
    4 .- Kubrat Pulev (Bulgaria)
    5 .- Carlos Takam (Cameroon)
    6 .- Joseph Parker (New Zealand) OPBF
    7 .- Andy Ruiz (Mexico) NABF
    8 .- Tomasz Adamek (Poland)
    9 .- Bryant Jennings (US)
    10 .- Malik Scott (US)
    11 .- Artur Szpilka (Poland)
    12 .- David Haye (GB)
    13 .- Dereck Chisora (GB)
    14 .- Steve Cunningham (US)
    15 .- Johann Duhaupas (France)
    16 .- Kyotaro Fujimoto (Japan)
    17 .- Dominic Breazeale (US) AMERICA
    18 .- Mariusz Wach (Poland)
    19 .- Alexander Dimitrenko (Russia)

    Can anyone explain me why Dimitrenko climbed 15 places from the last ranking? Adamek is shot to bits and suddenly ranked #8, by beating a 53-year old homeless guy.

    Both guys could be very interesting opponents for Wilder :good :rofl

    David Haye is also suddenly ranked for beating Mark De Mori, but at least he is decent. Wilder will duck the Gayemaker big time :cool:

    Adamek is fighting Molina in less than 2 months. Wouldn't shock me, but they'd have to give him better offer and adequate time to prepare this time. He's a long time pro who's above getting ripped off like that.

    Adamek would make sense for Wilder. He brings Polish fans and TV money, he is feather fisted, he's glass-jawed (at HW) and most of all he's old and ultra washed up. He'd would fit right into Wilder's list of opponents.

    I don't think Wilder gets by Povetkin but if he does then he would have plenty of time before his next mandatory.

    I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him defend every 3-4 months against guys like Adamek and Dimitrenko.

    That would be pretty tragic if Adamek is thrown in there with Wilder. But it might be too big a cash cow for the involved parties to pass up.

    Dimitrenko vrs. Wilder is an intriguing matchup. I would favor Dimitrenko at his best to outbox Wilder....but Wilder is continuing to improve and Dimi is probably well past it.

    Adamek was already offered the fight with a 6 week camp before Szpilka got it

    How's Stiverne still #3? I guess if you wanna be ranked high by WBC you gotta fight Derrick Rossy :roll:

    If you all are so convinced Povetkin is going to smash him, then what difference does all this make?
