How do boxing rankings get determined?

Normally over a meal, maybe a couple of drinks.

And some money or favors, maybe both. Does anything else make more sense?

Have a look at this thread, one that came after this one. http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfor...ht-141lbs.html

Its anarchy by proxy with a clever blindfold. A corruption that is so systemic that fighters use a pound of weight to circumvent it and not lose the ranking they worked for.

I forgot to mention this before. Recebtly Gary Shaw was caught outright bribing some sanctioning body, I think the IBF, to get one of his fighters rated. It came out in evidence in some court case I think and it was just accepted as standard procedure. Anybody remember this, it was recent, and if you do do you have a linky?

What's even funnier about that whole farce is that this is supposed to be an eliminator to fight Garcia, which is then an eliminator to fight Khan. A guy they've already beat!
