BoxRec Forum HW Top 15 ranking - Usyk / Rico/ Sanchez / Torres

[joshj909]

Not surprised with WBC, but surprised with WBA.. At least it's only #15

WBC have Novytskyi ranked and WBA have Hysa, Suslenkov, Ljungquist and Mamoyan ranked. All terrible rankings.

The WBA always has the worst ratings. It is always filled with misfits and scrubs.

I've always found WBO to be the worst. I think WBA has always included a few ransoms towards the end of their ratings but WBO tends to have can crushers ranked all over their top 15. IBF are generally the best with WBC behind.

There's more of a pattern in who the guys are. WBO usually has Queensbury heavyweights and those with padded records from Oceania, Asia and a few less common countries. WBC have tended to be US-centric heavyweights and PBC associated. WBA tends to have had Don King's guys and a few second rate guys amongst decent heavies. IBF cuts guys loose as soon as they know they're not going for their title so often exclude some big names but they're generally credible when it comes to eliminators, however, I don't know how Wallin got one recently.

IBF are only good at enforcing.

Some of their rankings aren’t always good and they end up having the same mandatories.

I think the thing is, you generally have to win the eliminators to get the mandatories which discounts some of the cans that get other mandatories. It's the best of a bad bunch for me. The rankings are definitely flawed but the promoter or nation bias isn't as clear for them.
