BoxRec Forum HW Top 15 ranking - Zhang v Wilder / Dubois v Hrgovic

[Finkel]

I got to say those new WBC rankings are a fornicating joke (as usual). Utterly disrespectful to Kabayel's achievements based on their own ranking system.

Kabayel beat WBC#3 ranked Makhmudov.
Then, beat WBC#2 ranked Sanchez.

Joshua beat WBC#9 ranked Wallin.
Then, beat WBC#10 ranked Ngannou.

Fury beat Unranked Ngannou.
Then, lost to Usyk.

Unfortunately, the rankings are based on promoter promises and financial gain. They want the % of a Joshua fight more than a Kabayel fight so if they can tempt Joshua to fight in their final eliminator it's more financially beneficial for the WBC than a Kabayel fight.

The WBC is a furtive parasite desperately clinging to the body of boxing.

It could not care an iota less that 'boxing is broken', in fact it's helped to bring about this sorry state.

The WBCs only purpose is to survive by sucking the lifeblood of this most noble of ancient sports.

Indeed. Fury " beat " Ngannou. Meanwhile Fury backed out of a fight vs. Kabyel for a title shot not so long ago. I think I know why he did.

It begs the question, is the choir boy Dubois the dirtiest heavyweight at the moment? Headbutts, low blows, Mocking Joyce's blind mum. Is he deep down a nasty piece of work or is he retarded?

retard i think..

He aint intelligent enough

The dirty stuff is nasty, so he is both.

Yeah, I don't see the benefit of this fight. On the one hand, they probably just want to get Wallin back in the ring and give him an easy comeback opponent. On the other hand, Wallin isn't exactly known for his power, but anything other than an early stoppage will look bad. I can only assume they hope this fight completely flies under the radar, and they are trying to line up another fight in quick succession.

[CMCanavessi]

Joyce out, NOW

[KiwiRider]

Joyce out, NOW

X2.
Nothing he has done prior matters after being dropped and beaten fairly clearly by an aged Chisora. Nothing.
