Ali Raymi ranked #1 by IBO

[JCS]

All hail our new conqueror of the Minimumweights!

[forcefraser]

That list is nonsense. How can they have "knockout CP Freshmart" outside the top 10?

Lists mean nothing. When is Raymi getting a title shot?

[world ranked]

it amazes me how much attention for his opponents. People see him as actual threat. I view him as a Rohit Singh, Bezerra guy a joke

[chucktaylor]

he hacked their computers

[Rogers21]

he wont fight the champ Hekkie Budler as he doesnt have an 0 so he is beneath Raymi

[forcefraser]

he hacked their computers

or maybe his people paid off the IBO...there is no way beating 21 total scrubs can earn you a legit world ranking.

I agree but Wilder has done the same thing. Shouldn't happen, but it does.

Wilder has fought bums but known professional these guys Raymi in with u question if the fights are even real.

[forcefraser]

Raymi has fought total nobodies for sure, but Wilder is Apparently on the verge of a crack at the heavyweight title (once the richest prize in sport).

This without really beating anyone. Heavyweight division is bollox right now.

Raymi is minimumweight. Not many to chose from in that category.

Raymi can actually start by actually fight real fight and not that staged Shiite he do.

This is one of those times I'm probably in agreement with Lennox with his nutty ass rankings. Boxrec even has this guy 5th ffs.

Probably takes a $20 bill in the right hands & they'd probably give you back change to bribe someone for a IBO strawweight ranking so this seems plausible.

Lets not act like Deontay is the bottom of sh!tty HW's getting title shots. I'd say worse &/or less deserving cats have already had shots. In Wlad's defense (which I seldom take up for) its not like there are many attractive options anyway.

I agree. But that's the whole point. The heavyweight division is pants at the moment. The fact that Wilder is perhaps a better chance than some of the others who have had a shot, yet still not really been tested against half decent opposition is a crying shame.

Wilder is an exciting fighter and I'd love to see him have a go at Wlad, but has he "earned it"? Perhaps in today's heavyweight Farce he has.

[GilFilmore]

21-0 21 first round KO's in the 105lb division....That is deserving of a #1 ranking no matter how you look at it

That's retarded. KO 21 bums & you become the #1 guy

[drunkenpiper36]

I agree. Those guys that he beat don't even look like they'd survive an amateur tournament let alone a real pro fight. I guess the only question is, how competitive is that division right now?

In fairness...VERY.

Last weekend's bout between Takayama and Rodriguez was great and we are now looking towards Budler/Zhong, Novoa/Wanheng and Buitrago/KO Freshmart, Tanaka and Hara are rumored to fight later this year.

[drunkenpiper36]

Thanks. I don't know enough about that weight class or those particular fighters to understand the significance of those bouts, but I'll take your word for it. I clicked on a few YouTube links of Raymi though and his opponents are appalling

[jujigatame]

I dunno, outside the top handful of guys the 105 division is pretty woeful. Not saying Raymi could beat these guys, but it's not like Buitrago or Menayothin's records are any less inflated.

I wonder how many of Raymi's opponents are outright frauds. The reporting from that part of the world has to be spotty at best. This "Prince Maz" fellow who launched Raymi to his #5 ranking was supposedly 8-0 and fought everywhere from 105 to 122? Sounds pretty dubious.

It's interesting to see what happens to computerized rankings when you have ultra-insular fight circuits like this.

Same could be said about MOST divisions.

Problem is that when you don't watch the fighters you tend to make your decisions on the records and that of their opponents. Watching guys like Tanaka would make you realise how good some of those guys are.

Buitrago looked VERY good against Sabillo, Menayothin is finally getting his first big test against the destructive Novoa.

I think if more people watched the fighters in and around 105 they'd get a lot more appreciation. A lot of them have screwy records which are misleading as well.

He's is a joke and I'm pretty sure most supposed positive comments are thrown out as jokes.

Just go with it bro.

Raymi p4p numero uno in a couple years.

No people think this guys should get record for the knockout record vs consecutive bums he beat. I see people ranked him in top ten of his division if u look Rodriguez-Takayama fight and look at his resume and never fighting a fighter or fight outside of Yemen is a joke

[crusader]

Rodriguez and Takayama don't belong in the same sentence as the Yemeni Rib Rattler.

That's definitely a challenge... for sure, especially when a guy is clearly trying to game the system --- that's my sole opinion.

I think you're making a bit of a false equivalency here. I'm not saying these guys aren't skilled, but the talent pool is very shallow at 105, there just aren't that many guys in the sport small enough to make that weight. The fact that weight classes are absurdly close together at the lower weights doesn't help. If a welterweight fought the level of competition that Buitrago or Menayothin have, they'd barely be in the top 100.
