    Alex Arthur was ranked at lightweight before Wright beat him at 140. The IBF are such a bunch of incompetent knobs that they never checked who Nigel Wright was before putting him in Arthurs place.

    Thanks for posting but really these ranking don't mean **** right? I mean if Kell Brook is ranked number one by the WBO what does that mean exactly? It doesn't mean he's the number one weltereight in the world so what does it mean? What's the significance of it? This is one of the biggest reasons why the sport is a joke. I mean, so how is the average joe supposed to follow the sport?


    :lol: Somebody posted a thread asking why all these other sports like darts get more coverage than boxing. This is why. These rankings are such an epic fail that they are almost a win.

    They obviously never even bothered to check what bloody weight the fight was at. I didn't realise Arthur had held that ranking with the IBF at lightweight, that in itself is a strange one

    I think the IBF tend to rank fighters coming of losses for other belts.

    I think it will be a voluntary defence for Haye, so that means he can pick anyone he wants to defend against I think.

    Oh jaysus, I think were gonna see haye wait till both klutz announce fights then claim they're ducking him and fight audley, since a voluntary defence can be anyone in the orgs top 15 ranked fighters. That's how Matt Skelpton got a shot vs chagaev a few years back
