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.

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.

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

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

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..

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.

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.
