World Rankings Update

Oh, and Cristobal Cruz, the legend that he is, hasn't fought since like May last year I don't think. He'll be catapulted right back up though of course when he dissects Hovhannesyan in a few weeks.

 

I'm finally getting to you Rob. :good

Is the Matthysse and Judah both at #5 intentional?

And what is JMM doing in there?

 

cant think of anyone to replace him with off the top of my head but the fact that stiverne is in the top 15 and anywhere near the top 10 shows how poor the HW division is at the moment.

He is shockingly bad

 

:smh

 

I just realised how weak the WW division is! A few years ago it was stacked!

Ooh, i'd have Alexander above Kotelnic :good

 

Ah right, didn't realise he had a fight while I was away.

:nono

Alexander has lost his last 3, including a loss to Kotelnik.

Kotelnik also holds a win over #3 Maidana.

 

I thought he beat Kotelnik in a close fight. But I agree, he lost to Mattysse. I've never seen Kot vs Maidana, but someone on the General once cried robbery. Was that the case? His inactivity would mean he drops down the rankings for me.

 

Kotelnik-Maidana was nowhere near a robbery, Andriy was a worthy winner for me. Very close, cries of injustice are unfounded.

 

:good fair enough. Like I say I've never seen it. Sounds like the guy in the general hasn't either

 

I'd still favour Sturm at no.2 at middleweight over Geale definitely; despite the Macklin fight being controversial, I think there were enough people on here who gave it it Sturm to make it unworthy of being called a robbery.

Also, I'd re-work the flyweight rankings personally. I know Segura's success has came at light-fly but I think it's harsh to have him down as low as 6 just because he's moved up. Personally, I'd say his post-Canchila II form should make him worthy of at least 4th in that new weight class, possibly even 3rd. I'd also stick Sosa above Mthalane too to be honest.

Otherwise, I think the rankings are very good. Possibly change Alvarez and Dzinzuruk at light middle and I'd say Mares could be worthy of no.3 at bantamweight but Moreno has a decent resume so maybe that's me being a bit picky

 

What? Other than being more active, Sosa has nothing on Moruti. Hussein, giving Donaire a very though fight, a comeback win followed by Tete, Miranda and Casimero is abundantly better than a string of victories over rather poor opposition. Mthalane should've been ahead of Miranda for the last two years, not behind behind Sosa now.

By the way Rob, Miranda lost to Viloria the other week, so should really be demoted a bit more IMO.
