It is a long time since I have looked at the lower weights. Scott Quigg and Frampton is as low as I get.

Man your missing out. Some of the best fights of 2014 were at minimumweight.Quote:

Quiet couple of weeks. Ratings updated:

We know you are not doing well in the saddo league which means you know your boxing because the people at the top normally do not know much about the sport.
I can't see you all the way down there, but let me tell you the air up here is so clean. Had a lucky week I guess.Quote:

Lineal, I always enjoy and appreciate when you post this. Like master it brought me to investigate weights I knew nothing about. I'm curious to ask you how much time you dedicate to this project. I know it would vary but how about on a very busy week in.
I spend a hour or two here and there. Sometimes more, mainly on Sundays after the fights that week. I actually keep a top 20 in each division, followed by another 20 in a basic who beat who type order. The main thing to monitor is inactivity.Quote:

Andre Ward needs to go!
Although I agree that Wards inactivity is frustrating and not ideal, he did earn his championships in the ring. Stripping a champion should be a last resort and my ratings policy has already been established. I do intend to review the inactivity clause for champions in the near future but I feel it would be unfair to implement any changes at this time for the sole purpose of avoiding an uncomfortable situation.Quote:

Andre Ward will remain champion until May 16th 2015 when he will reach 18 months of inactivity, unless he schedules a fight before then.
Kovalev fought B Hop that should have entitled them to be number 1 light heavy.Quote:

Andre Ward will remain champion until May 16th 2015 when he will reach 18 months of inactivity, unless he schedules a fight before then. In which case he will need to fight a top 10 rated fighter before November 16th 2015 or he will be stripped for not facing a Top-10 rated opponent in 2 years.
Stevenson defeated Dawson (after Ward did it) who had beaten Hopkins. Hopkins was ranked number three when he fought Kovalev.Quote:
