    Based on the current rankings of his last 5 fights including next fight

    Nagy Aguilera #67
    Vitali Klitschko #2 (but he lost BADLY)
    Kevin Mcbride #204
    Vinny Maddelone #103
    Michael Grant #19

    Hardly a who's who is it, Number 4? GTFO!

    I think that Boxrec uses some mathematical system to rank boxers, it's flawed for sure.

    Pay no attention to Boxrec rankings, they are stat based only and often don't make any sense.

    he only lost about 100 points when he got beat because Vitali had more than twice as many points going into the fight. and the fact the he fought someone like that in the past 18 months prevents him from losing further points as far as i understand that system. he would be a lot lower by now if he had not fought Vitali

    Not much point in even looking at boxrec rankings, I remember looking a while back and they had Andre Dirrell ranked as the #1 at super-middleweight.

    To be fair you did miss out his win against Arreola, which is by far his best at heavyweight
