Question: How are the rankings affected by Adam Kownacki's UD 12 win over Chris Arreola?

My vote: Kownacki stays at #10, Arreola remains unranked.

After this, we will probably vote on Whyte's doping issue

No change, as Arreola wasn't highly ranked.

Kownacki to #12, Arreola remains unranked

I'm not convinced that a fighter can't be downranked even in victory, and Kown was poor vs CA.

No change, Kownacki was crap but just find it hard to move him down because he's at least been active and winning.

Kownacki is ok but nothing special.
But he keeps winning.
I want to see him in with Chisora

No change.

I'm normally against going down if you win. But a a combo of how much he got hit and how little he couldnt hurt an old weathered arreola is pretty poor. I'd rate Rivas loss alot higher than kownakis win performance wise.
- I think kownacki down to 13.

Kownacki to 12.

My vote: Kownacki out.

I have been saying that Kownacki is not that good for a long time. Now we found hes level. It is half step up from totally shot Arreola.

I agree. Except 13 is a bit harsh.

Kownacki down to 11

If you can't stop, drop, or completely dominate Arreola in a 12 round fight- your not "all that"
Heck, Kownacki made Arreola look good!
Chris Arreola has been a gatekeeper for the last 8+years. Throwing a ton of arm punches, having zero defence, and making a shot 38 year old has been/never was look good, has actually shown up Kownacki in a worse light than before the fight.
Sometimes a win is a loss.

Out of our own top 15 list I would pick Kownacki to beat only Breazeale. Kabayel match could go either way. That's mostly because I don't really know him yet.

Breazeale and Kabayel are the weakest links of the list in any case. All the others I would pick to beat Kownacki. Hes Szpilka 2.0.

Kownacki to 14.

Showed no defence and no power against Areola and came in fat. I would say he would he would be the betting underdog against everyone in the list except Breazdale, and maybe even against him.

Kownacki to 12

Kownacki to 13

no change

Kownacki is better than what he showed against Arreola, he was very out of shape. He is expecting Child now so i fear that its not going to be any better in next fight.

Well that explains the bit of extra weight then

Kownacki is fun to watch and I will definitely watch hes next fight too.

What do you guys think, should we vote on Whyte's doping issue or should we still wait?

I don't think we will hear anything about it at all. Rivas taking legal action may not even make them test it, or tell anyone if they have. It seems to be a non issue to Hearn and Whyte. They have spun it into a non event already.

Good reason to vote the pr!ck out.

Ya if you voted Whyte out there would then only be 3 PED failures out of the top 7

Wait until there's atleast some more information. There's way too much still in the dark here.

Vote them all out, including the linearally drugged out PED cheat.
