Topic A - How are the rankings affected by Ruslan Chagaev's MD12 win over Fres Oquendo?

My vote: Chagaev remains at #15, Oquendo remains unranked.

Topic B - How are the rankings affected by Bryant Jennings' SD12 win over Mike Perez?

My vote: Jennings remains at #9, Perez remains unranked.

Note: These topics are for voting on the rankings of Chagaev, Oquendo, Jennings and Perez. Posting your own Top 15 will not count as a vote. Please cast your vote in the manner than I have done above.

[Horse]

Chagaev - Up to No. 13
Jennings - Up to No. 8

The rest - Stay out

[Lennox]

Bryant Jennings to 11 >>>not better than Wilder or Thompson
Mike Perez to 12 >>>lost razor thin call

Ruslan Chagaev out >>> win v Oquendo and last 5 years results insignificant for top 15

[Lackeos]

Chagaev Out
Oquendo Remains Out
Jennings Up To #8
Perez In At #14

[Tony1244]

Chagaev up to 10 because Solis, Arreola, and TT either recently lost or haven't done anything.


Jennings up to 7 because he did better against Perez than takam did.

[Horse]

Perez is garbage. Why are people voting for him to enter?

[493dart]

sad !!


id put lewis and vitali back on there at this point

[ttornado]

Perez is garbage. Why are people voting for him to enter?

Perez is better than Solis. Solis is garbage and should quit boxing.

[Horse]

Perez is better than Solis. Solis is garbage and should quit boxing.

I'd like to see Perez vs Solis. Who can be the fattest and laziest?

I do agree that Perez is better than Solis, but neither should be in the top 15.

[tiny_acres]

Povetkin remains number 2
Chagaev #15
Jennings #13

The rest unranked.

I have to admit this is a pathetic bunch(excluding Povetkin) that we had to reconfigure

[Freedom2013]

Topic A - How are the rankings affected by Ruslan Chagaev's MD12 win over Fres Oquendo?

Chagaev goes up to #14, ahead of Odlanier Solis, mainly by default because Solis hasn't won a fight in awhile. Oquendo remains unranked.

Topic B - How are the rankings affected by Bryant Jennings' SD12 win over Mike Perez?

Jennings down to #10 below Wilder, because he wasn't impressive. Perez remains unranked.

[jezzamundo]

Povetkin remains number 2
Chagaev #15
Jennings #13

The rest unranked.

I have to admit this is a pathetic bunch(excluding Povetkin) that we had to reconfigure

Whoops, we're not voting for Povetkin's rankings - that was a mistake on my part.

[Tarkus]

Jennings to #5
Rest unchanged

[Lackeos]

Perez is garbage. Why are people voting for him to enter?

Because Chagaev and Solis are garbage.

[Freedom2013]

Suggestion:

Tyson Fury should be dropped down a few notches because of his pathetic fight day duck of a heavyweight who is not even in the top 15.

Ridiculous suggestion.

Makes a hell of a lot more sense than dropping Arreola like the WBC did for cursing. Fury should be dropped for inactivity and not showing up after a contract is signed.

The top ratings should go to fighters who fight. I know that is frowned upon in modern times regarding boxing.

Opinion: Any Top Ten list including Tyson Fury and Dereck Chisora is pure rubbish... May as well put Vitali Klitschko back @ #1...

You are wrong.

[Tony1244]

Perez is better than Solis. Solis is garbage and should quit boxing.

I do agree that Perez is better than Solis, but neither should be in the top 15.

It amazes me that as great as Cuban amateurs are, when they make it out of Cuba and turn pro almost all of them totally lose their discipline and turn into doughboys.

Probably because they are not use to all their new found freedoms and they "don't have to" listen to what others tell them to do anymore. They probably should listen to their handlers, but I'm sure their ego gets in the way.

"I'm from Cuba, where boxing legends come from. I am great. Nobody can beat me, so why train!?"

This part of the quote, "I am great. Nobody can beat me, so why train!?," sounds verbatim Wifredo Benitez, who was from Puerto Rico.


Who said that quote? I guess Solis.

I don't think Jennings is more pathetic than Povetkin. At least he didn't duck his opponents shamelessly for 4+ years as if they had a plague

[SaadOffTheDeck]

Chagaev out
Jennings moves to #6

[Tony1244]

Chagaev out
Jennings moves to #6

I'm no Chagaev fan but why is he out? He won his last fight against someone in the top 50 while almost everyone else hasn't even fight.
