If Loma is # 1 off his extremely short resume and his totally predictable beatdown of an old man 2 weight divisions lighter than him..... boxing is more f*cked up than I thought. Ginger's name shouldn't even be on there.

Look at the how good the fighters were in there division, how long they lasted and how big the talent pool is which I think matters. It is hard sometimes to see which opponents are better really because different division and there all fighting different comp. I mean Rigo amazing but he has done nothing in that division and had not fought in for ever how do you rank that. Then have Crawford beating undefeated champ in his division to unify which i think is worth more. The more think about pound for pound the more I seem to hate it really. I wish more fighters were like Holyfeild and just jumped up and beat the hw champ making all this pound for pound stuff mean nothing but that can not happen.Quote:

Belt collecting, protecting and shuffling has become it's own clusterfeck and sideshow. Broner runs around as a 4 division champion..can anyone honestly name a single guy he beat for one of them ???. The day Ring mag named him #5 p4p is the day that list went into my cats litter box. Crawford for me has consistently dominated a respectable level of competition and shows a top notch level of skills and versatility doing it. He's on a projected path to face off with fellow p4p guys and I see him beating them.Quote:
