Unofficial Divisional World Rankings May 2013 Update

Do you do a World and British pound for pound list as well?

 

Despite Moreno being a bantamweight, he was still pushing some people's top 15 p4p before the Mares fight so I'd consider that, plus his excellent body of wins at 118 (including the Perez fight where he deserved the W) merits him being ahead of Rigo. Moot point anyway as Mares is moving up again next fight but still.

I'd say Cotto is too highly ranked at 2 in that revised one. I'd have Molina ahead of him so if you want Lara ahead, I'd put the two of them at 2/3 and Cotto 4. He has lost his last two fights at the weight. Whether Cotto should be ranked ahead of Alvarez, I'm not sure. Alvarez at 5 seems a bit extreme but maybe that's all he deserves for his poor title defences

 

Yeah fair enough.

 

Interesting the variance with your rankings of the super bantamweights and these http://www.tbrb.org/rankings/super-bantamweight/ - especially with Romero and Frampton.

 

I've done the minimumweight division for you as it hasn't been updated properly in a while. Again, make whatever changes you want at your discretion:

WBO – Moises Fuentes (ranked at 108lbs)

Fighters who have dropped out:
Moises Fuentes - Fought at light fly last time out
Akira Yaegashi - Has moved up in weight
Paipharob Kokietgym - Has moved up in weight
Muhammad Rachman - Inactive/retired
Ivan Meneses - Moved up/recent losses


Will update the rest of the lower weights when I get the time :good

 

Im new to forum.Its so easy to pick holes in rankings but generally these are pretty good.I think brook is a couple too low but couldnt believe ring rankings maybe 2 months ago when 3rd at welter above bradley(simply mental) ortiz,berto,Alexander,maidana etc.But the ring is brit friendly at the moment

 

you have Daniel Estrada in twice at lightweight.

 

my own personal one's just for comparison

• [FONT=&quot]Mario Rodriguez[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Moises Fuentes (if he rematches Nietes then he will move up to light fly rankings)[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Ryo Miyazaki[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Nkosinathi Joyi[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Denver[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Cuello[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Wanheng Menayothin[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Jesus Silvestre[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Merlito Sabillo[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Juan Hernandez[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Katsunari Takayama[/FONT]

 

Not too far off from mine, although I have Hernandez ranked at light fly :good

---

Takayama beat Rodriguez by unanimous decision last night, as I predicted

I would now have the top of the rankings as:

1. Denver Cuello
2. Katsunari Takayama
3. Mario Rodriguez
4. Nkosianthi Joyi

If you want me to make the case for Cuello at #1, then I will :good
