Commonwealth Rankings.

Post by stujones »

Anyone know a site with the official Commonwealth rankings. I know BBN have a Commonwealth ranking but I understand they are not official (but very good, nevertheless).

I'm just wandering wehther Charles Adamu will now face TBA for the Commonwealth title, and will that TBA be Robin Reid.

Robin is Froch's British mandatory, but yes, he could well be next in the Commonwealth. He might see that as an easier route to a title, although he'd make more money from a Froch fight. Depends what he's after.

BoxRec's Commonwealth rankings:

1 Calzaghe - obviously not a consideration
2 Mundine - ditto
3 Froch - relinquished so won't fight for the vacant
4 Peter Kariuki - wildcard entry, though got a decent win last time out. Might be in the mix, but presumably would be a voluntary in the official rankings
5 Bika - fighting this weekend
6 Peter Mashamaite - same as Kariuki
7 Robin Reid - indeed, probably the highest ranked available contender
8 Jamie Pittman - unproven Aussie, might be considered due to win over old Gare
9 Joey Vegas - surely too green/unqualified
10 Tony Dodson - hasn't done anything to rebuild from the Froch defeat

I think Froch will vacate the British, now he is EBU mandatory and WBC #1.

Reid may well go the Commonwealth route, he did say after his fight with Jesse Brinkley that he would like a few more fights before going straight into a fight with Carl Froch. He also said he won't be thrown in the ring just to be a good name on Carl's record.
