Horn a bit low for me, though I guess it makes sense if you think he was gifted.

I'd at least have him above Lucas, whose only win in the last two years is over Emmanuel Taylor.

I agree

Matt too high in these ratings for a guy who is unproven at 147 and looked faded in a stoppage loss two fights ago.

Why?

Danny Garcia has actually beaten some top fighters, not just been gifted decisions against them.

Garcia is coming off a loss, (laughable that you talk about gift decision), and his resume at WW is shallow as hell. Even if it was a robbery, Horn's one win and showing is a lot better. Garcia would not have done any better than Horn did against Pacquiao.

Porter under Garcia and Brook is crazy. His only loss as of late is to Thurman in a fight that could've gone either way (I personally thought Porter won that fight). No valid reason to have Garcia or Brook above him.

I know Garcia is coming off a loss. A SPLIT decision loss to Keith Thurman in a fairly close fight.

You don't only get ranked solely off of your last performance, but off of your career as a whole...at least as long as you still seem to be operating at the same level.

Garcia has wins over better fighters than Horn has ever beaten. Horn didn't beat Manny.

Brook beat Porter...so there's a VERY valid reason to have Brook ahead of him. Garcia gave Thurman a harder time than Porter did I thought. Both fighters were close.

I think Porter and Garcia are on about the same level, but as of this moment Garcia has a better resume so he ranks higher.

That win was too long ago to rate Brook solely on it. Porter has went on to do better things while Brook wasn't competing at the same level. Brook's current resume includes two losses. You can't rank someone ahead of another because they lost to that fighter years ago. It's been, what, almost 3 years ago that Brook beat Porter? Since then, Brook has wins over Donut Dan and other non-top fighters and two losses by KO.

How about instead of criticizing MY rankings you come up with your own? Rankings can always be debated, but unless you wanna come up with your own...shut up.

I realize how long ago it was that Brook beat Porter, I also realize Porter has never done anything since to prove he's improved to the point that he's a better fighter than the Brook. Not yet.

He might get there with another big win, he's only 1 notch below Brook at the moment.

They're not and it's not. Provide your own rankings if you wish. Notice whenever I disagree with rankings I don't nitpick 'em apart, I provide my own.

You can disagree with me if you want to. It's a forum, that's the point. Discussion. I have an answer for any question you want to ask about my rankings, if you don't like my answers I don't know what to tell you, but I have them. I trust my judgment more than yours. I'm sure you feel the same, which is why I encourage you to provide your own rankings.

Ring Magazine rates Horn lower than top 5 at 147 even though Pacquiao was top 5 in Ring ratings before the fight and Horn won by decision. Roman Gonzalez is No. 3 pound for pound after losing to Wangek. Ring is not consistent. They pick and choose what they want to acknowledge as a legitimate win or not. They obviously felt that Gonzalez deserved to win against Wangek, but they could not rate him higher than Wangek in the junior bantamweight division, so they rate Wangek No. 2 and Gonzalez No. 3 in the division, but have Gonzalez No. 3 pound for pound, basically inferring that they disagree with the decision of Wangek winning over Gonzalez.

Garcia would dominate the one-dimensional brawler Horn, as would Thurman or Spence. And Horn's decision over Pac clearly WAS a gift. :OhYes:
