that looks about right. johnny has mixed with some big names, which is more than can be said for the other cruiserweights.

How does that algorithm work? He's not done anything and rises, even though Braithwaite just won?

Sorry, a little confused. Is this just an aberration like Tyson's momentary slotting into number 2 slot last week?

Nelson fan, by the way

When are we going to get some decent unifications at this weight? There are some reasonable fighters in Nelson, Braithwaite, Mormeck, Jirov (?), Bell etc So let's get some matchups going :P

I'm starting to warm to Don King all of a sudden, at least he tries to get the best fighters fighting, GO DON

With regard to the cruisers, King is Mormeck's promoter, and Mormeck hasn't fought in over a year (will face grampa Hill in 2 weeks in their rematch, though.) So let's not give the Donster too much credit...

Don't write of Virgil Hill, I think he lost heavily to him the last time but I saw him against Donny Lalonde, who maybe past it but even James Toney has admitted gave him problems in sparring. Virgil Hill had plenty of bounce and speed for the entire 12 rounds in what was an entertaining fight.
