    I like it.

    My only observation would just be one of personal observation in that a championship is only as worthy as the prestige it gets.

    By that I mean, for example you have Wlad 1 at HW and Ward champ at SMW. Both are universally regarded as the best in their division anyways so I wouldn't differentiate between the status of the two.

    If it could be that the championship status got public recognition "well to be recognised as true champ the TRBR have to have you as their champ" that'd be different but as it is, many men are currently recognised as champ so I just go with who I think is the best of the claimants.


    The only thing that mystified me, the ranking of Abril, he schooled the former number 1 (in my eyes atleast) yet you only have him 4th?

    There was some duelling back and forth about Abril, he missed out on #3 by the slenderest of margins but was never mooted higher than that.

    personally speaking, how did you view Rios prior and how did you score the fight?

    I had Rios #1 and thought Abril won a near shutout.

    It's close in that division though, DeMarco looks good as does Burns. some good fights in the making!

    Might want to correct the name of the rankings in the title.

    My one question is about the Cloud-Campillo ranking. I know the charter says official decisions would only be overturned if a sufficient number of members disagreed with them. I was just wondering how close a call it was for those two.

    Its a great idea & the rankings are good, all we need to now is abolish all the alphabet titles & boxing would be in a much better place

    They do have cruiserweight listed at 210lbs :-(

    Interesting that Tarver remains ranked despite failing a drug test, not a good idea imo

    I have to wonder how Chad Dawson can be recognized as champion of his division while Wlad Klitschko is just the #1 contender... Wlad's domination of his division is 100x more clear than Dawson's...

    Either way, I like the TRB's style and I applaud their resolve and their attitude.

    There's a lineage with Dawson while there's not with Wlad, and the latter has never fought a number 2 contender to establish one.

    Well fights from the past aren't specifically debated so there has been no ruling as such. But for sure, that division is shaping up beautifully luf, and most guy seem keen.

    Good eye, i'll have an ask.

    Nobody is being stripped of their ranking for failed drugs tests at this time (but a champion can be denied the title).

    Basically this.

    The TRB has taken a hardline against any championship class or 1 v 3 crowning and a 1 v 2 just hasn't materialised in that division (for obvious reasons).
