How does this guy get to number 2 challenger WBO and number 4 IBF, when he's 38 on Boxrec?
Last 5 fights boxrec ranked 241, 83, 459, 264 and a guy who lost 8 of his last 10.
He's ahead of so many good boxers, it seems pretty corrupt..

ER.......are you new to boxing? :-)
The WBO elevated a fighter from 7 to 5 in the world, despite the fact he had died a year earlier.

How did he die though? If he looked good in the loss it might merit a bump.

Good point. I believe he couldn't get up after a 10 count, so I guess it's a genuine KO loss
