LMAO!: WBA Rankings

[oogiebe]

All this is why I love and appreciate BoxRec.

They actually manage to make the WBC seem like a semi-legitimate and almost plausible organisation. That takes some doing !

The WBA is by far the most corrupt and unexcusibal organization in not only boxing but all of sports.

I think you may have upset the WBO with that comment. They don't like being upstaged you know.

I still don't know when the WBO became a recognized world title.
One day they were a joke and the next they were accepted.

Did Hearns not win one quite early on to give them some credibility?

Steady on chaps!
Fres has some tremendous names on his resume. Holyfield, Byrd, Tua, Ruiz, McCall
He should be #1 contender when they thaw him out of cryo.

LOL! That's if he doesn't shatter.

Fes is so tough, that when he comes out of cryo, his first pee is mostly ice cubes. And he just smiles as they tear down his urerhra and ricochet around the bowl

Is Oquendo's showdown with Charr back on yet?

I can't wait forever. Even Arum would probably agree that it's marinated long enough.

It's marinated so much that Fres is wrinkled beyond belief at this point. Oquendo not signing on frees the WBA from making this fight, thank God!

Gadzooks man! You are one sick puppy!!!

Good to see 46 year-old Oquendo keeping a lofty position despite not having fought or won in about 5 years.

But I guess they fact that he also hasn't lost in that time was factored in by the WBA rating's committee.

Guillermo Jones was ranked top 10 last year..

WBA is like "minor league" boxing. They still had Dillan Carman at like 15 despite the fact he had just gotten blown out by Evgeny Romanov in the first round. And yes, the ratings came out over week later. Silly bVtches!

I was looking at the record of the #10 man, Fujimoto of Japan.

Interesting to note that he holds 2 very close decision wins over another Japanese fighter, Nobuhiro Ishida.

Yes, this is the same Ishida who gained fame knocking out super welterweight Kirkland in 1 round and then losing a middleweight title fight to Golovkin.

Somehow Ishida managed to soar nearly 50 pounds and gave the now #10 heavyweight fits twice, albeit losing decisions.

But that's good enough to convince the WBA ratings committee that Fujimoto is world class.

LMAO!!! Great find. They are just horrible.

Just think: if Ishida had been able to pull off a decision in just one of those razor close fights, he might be a world ranked heavyweight too.

True, Ishida hasn't fought in about 4 years. But that isn't something that has held back Oquendo from climbing the heavyweight rankings.

seriously I'm thinking I should get a job as boxing ratings analysis. I couldn't be worse than this shvt!

I just watched Boxing Squared on WBA rankings just out. Thought I'd share the laugh.

WBA Super Champion - AJ
WBA Champion - Manuel Charr
WBA Gold Champion - Joe Joyce

1-Trevor Bryan
2-Jarrel Miller
3-Fres Oquendo
4-Dillian Whyte
5-Otto Walin
6-Oscar Rivas
7-Sergey Kuzmin
8-Filip Hrgovic
9-Alexander Povetkin
10-Kyotaro Fujimoto

I'm astounded. What a joke!!!! LMFAO!

Yeah I agree I’d have Oquendo at number 1 and David Price at 3

[dagilechia]

remember the bum beater Ali Raymi? he was #6 at WBA ranking and what WBA did after his death? dropped him to #11
