    Exactly!! If forced to pick, I'd probably chose the WBC, as Jose Suliaman's band of thieves are a wholly-owned subdsidiary of Don King Productions.

    They all suck including The Ring Mag.

    I favor FightNews rankings:
    (Shown Here for Heavyweights)

    1. Wladimir Klitschko (IBF)
    2. Ruslan Chagaev (WBA)
    3. Sultan Ibragimov (WBO)
    4. Oleg Maskaev (WBC)
    5. Samuel Peter (WBC Interim)
    6. Nikolai Valuev
    7. Tony Thompson
    8. Alexander Povetkin
    9. Shannon Briggs
    10. Sergei Liakhovich
    11. Calvin Brock
    12. Alexander Dimitrenko
    13. Vladimir Virchis
    14. Juan Carlos Gomez
    15. Hasim Rahman
    16. Eddie Chambers

    I would switch Chambers & Brock since Chambers just beat him but that's not bad.

    1. Joe Calzaghe
    2. Lucian Bute
    3. Mikkel Kessler
    4. Jeff Lacy
    5. Anthony Mundine
    6. Dennis Inkin
    7. Jurgen Brähmer
    8. Sakio Bika
    9. Markus Beyer
    10. Librado Andrade
    11. Jean Pascal
    12. Carl Froch
    13. Alejandro Berrio
    14. Vitaly Tsypko
    15. Allan Green


    ---------------------------

    Their SMW rankings suck...Kessler is better than Bute, Lacy is certainly not better than Mundine, what is Beyer doing there anyway - he's retired..., Bika is Top 10, but 8th - come on!...Pascal is not that good yet and ...Froch not that bad...yet:lol:...what is Tsypko doing at 14??? - should be higher than that...

    I picked the WBA because their HW rankings are probably the worst & least justified:

    C. Ruslan Chagaev (Practically inactive due to illness)
    1. Nicolay Valuev (Just beat Bergeron who?)
    2. Serguei Liakhovich (Hasn't fought since being KO'd by Briggs)
    3. John Ruiz
    4. Davaryll Williamson
    5. Taras Bidenko (Has he fought recently?)
    6. Michael Moorer (Hasn't beat anyone to be ranked in the top 10)
    7. Wladimir Virchis (Didn't he KO Bindenko?)
    8. Mike Mollo (Hasn't beat anyone to be ranked in the top 10)
    9. Juan Carlos Gomez (Just Beat McCall and should be higher)
    10. Alexander Dimitrenko
    11. Alexander Povetkin (Just Beat Byrd and should be higher)
    12. Hasim Rahman (Riding the tomato can express to move up in rankings, again)
    13. Jean Francois Bergeron (Who?)
    14. JD Chapman
    15. Kali Meehan

    All fair points but I was concentrating on the Heavys even though the thread was about the ABC's rankings in general.

    I picked the Ring. Nobody knows what the hell it is, and the only reason anyone does is because of Max Kellerman ranting on it all the time.

    Next would be WBO followed closely by the crooks at the WBC.

    its not stupid, its one of the only smart things the ABC's have done.

    WBA is the most legit belt of the 4.
