I voted for him to be removed from 160 and put in the pool at 160. With his weight problems I don't see any way he comes back down in weight, especially considering he's signed on for at least three fights at SMW. I will wish Arum would've put Pavlik in with him at 160, because that fight has all the making of a classic.
PS. This board fucking rules.
AA has stated if I recall correctly he will be unable to make 160 anymore.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
He should go in the pool a 168. He's never fighting at 160 again.

I really doubt it, his promoter Sauerland was the key part of the Showtime deal & took on Kessler for it. Pavlik wasn't keen to fight him anyway, & I actually think this is now bigger. Combined with everything else, I'm certain that he won't be going back down. Like I said in the other thread we need to keep this fresh, it didn't look good Valero being ranked in a division he'd long made it clear he had no interest in for so long.
Your probably right, but stranger things have happened & its not beyond possibility. Maybe if a fighter makes it clear that they are going to campaign at another weight e.g. Campbell, Vasquez, Abraham, we keep them ranked for 4-6 months? from the time of their last fight at that weight before removing them.
Also if Abraham remained ranked at 160 it would not effect the chance for a champion to be crowned as Pavlik could fight anyone in the top 5 & it could qualify as a championship fight if the committee voted for it

I'd like to propose that Williams fills the vacant 8th spot at 160. We have too many vacancies at that weight & with his dominating win over Winky Wright, I feel he's the most obvious candidate to take one of the spots.
Any other suggestions are welcome but we need to take care of some of these vacancies, but at the moment there's very few fights being made at 160 to do so.
I agree. I also think Macklin's upcoming fight in August should fill another spot, but Williams should definitely but ranked ahead!

When he gives up his JMW title then he can be ranked at MW....How can you rank a fighter that does not campaign at the weight full time?
If that was the case AA should be ranked at SMW not just in the pool
Hidden Content IN CASE THEY ALL FORGOT WHAT REAL HEAVYWEIGHT POWER WAS!!!
Have to agree with that.In his case hes all over the map...and still talking Welterweight.Filling a 10th spot by vote is one thing but its ebbing upwards now?
Middle in particular does have many vacant spots and soon to be another as Lopez has stated that he will be campaigning at 154.
But Abraham has yet to fight at SMW. If he did fight there and beat a fighter of Winky's calibre, and if SMW was as weak a division as MW with several vacant rankings, I would have no problem with ranking Abraham at SMW.
I have no problem at all with fighters being ranked in more than one weight class if it's warranted. If they haven't fought in a division in more than a year they will be removed from those raknings.
Pick who you feel deserves the spot the most from the options out of the pool
