    ALL the alphabets are a joke.

    Duddy is ranked 2 by the WBO, in the top 10 of the other alphabets and is linked with a Pavlik fight.

    Lockett-Duddy is a 50/50-ish in my book. So Pavlik-Lockett is on a par with Pavlik-Duddy.

    Although I agree, Pavlik would muller Lockett.

    You think the WBO is a joke? Well your right but why single out the WBO only and not share the wealth with the rest.
    I was going thru some rankings myself and found some pretty damn intersting things to say the least.

    - I just realized that the WBA has Haye, Arslan & Hill as Cruiserweight Champs. WTF? Super, World & Interim anything else they'd like to add? I don't know may be a WBA champ for each country

    - By the time Peter & Oleg meet it would have tooken Peter 2 years to solve this whole Interim deal with Oleg.

    - Alexander Dimitrenko has been the WBO Inter-Cont. champ since 2005 why didn't he ever fight for the WBO World title as that title is a step below to the world title?

    - How does Tito Mendoza who's ranked #13 by the WBO get a shot at Erdei? When theirs fighters like Briggs, Garay or Diaconu available to fight
    and are ranked higher then Mendoza?

    The WBO is actually the biggest joke of them all. There the organization who actually moved a dead fighter up in there rankings (must of been his dying wish). And is the only one of the 4 belts that Ring magazine never acknowledge

    All the alphabet groups are crap. Thats why I can't believe so many knowledgeable guys on here keep referring to them. I never mention their letters. To me they don't exist. I get some flack at times cause I say this guys only got a belt but it's the truth. Anyone who wants an alternative for the betterment of the sprot should follow the Ring championships. Although their system is not perfect (which the Ring freely admits) it is better than what these alphabet idiots are offering!!!

    the ring? hahah whislt i like their reads form time to time they can be biasd as hell too. I mean their rankings for one, the most i agree with, but some are just shit, i mean come on Casa is the No 1 the "champion" at lightweight as he has their belt? he didn't even win his last fight... ans he aint the only one so don't waste time throwing what the ring rate as your back up...

    when ever someone has a crack at their belt all of a sudden they move up the rankings when the rest of the world know they would not even be there if it wasn't for that I.E manfredo for example, no way was he or ever will be a top 10 at SMw, but shit they couldn't not have him in the recognised "official rankings" just incase he done the impossible, by that i mean someone jumping out of the crowd to fight calzaghe with him.

    The WBO may not be the biggest name, it is the lowest out of the big four, but end of the shit mandatories the IBf throw at fighters, take a look at some of them, their ibf smw changed hands 3 times this year, look who they made wlad fight, hatton fight...

    The belt is only as good as the champion, and looking throught most weights the recognised and undisputed champions all seem to hold other abc belts, more than one whilst they have vacated the IBF at some point or the guy before them done it.

    shit most ibe champions fight in germany these days...

    Hatton ditched his belt for a more meaningfull fight, Calzaghe ditched it, hopkins did or did taylor throw it after he beat him?

    I mean shit while i like kermit, he had an early TKO loss to toni and was made the no 1 for the IBF 2 fights later - JOKE BELT

    With the money me or you could get a shot at that belt if we wanted.

    Easy there CMM, I am the current undisputed "WBA Mesa, AZ 2nd st house on the southwest corner Emeritus champ" and that title means a lot to me please don't down play it.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    For starters Casamayor is champ because he beat Corrales, who beat Castillo, who beat Lazcano for the vacant title. I agree Joel should have lost his fight to Santa Cruz but the Ring didn't judge the fight did they?

    Many times the champion of the division is not the best fighter in the division, if that was the case then the championship would never change hands.
