SugarJ's World Boxing Rankings

[Lineal]

Any recommendations? I loved Sot Chitalada, Galaxy brothers, Sung-Kil Moon and Yuri Arbachakov.

Too many to name and it depends on what weight your interested in.

Takayama vs Rodriguez Jr was a nice fight, Rodrigo Guerrero vs Daniel Rosas. I heard this weekends Budler vs Khonco fight was better than Santa Cruz vs Mares but haven't seen it yet.

Katsunari Takayama continues to earn respect as one of the best little-men around.

Yamanaka drops 2 spots after winning a fight? Really? I had Moreno beating Yamanaka as well. But I thought the fight was competitive and don't consider it a robbery. And defitnaly don't think he should of dropped from the top spot. Moreno deserved to move up. But not to the top spot

I agonized over that decision. On one hand I had Moreno winning handily. Yamanaka had entered at #1 so Moreno should advance over him.

McDonnell has also been on an excellent run so should he be demoted because of Yamanaka's performance? I didn't think that would be fair.

I also had to consider that to fill the vacant championship at this weight a fight would have to involve Moreno (seeing as I saw him beating the top guy). Leaving Yamanaka at #1 and McDonnell second would seem unfair if that fight was made to crown a champion, when I had scored 116-112 for Moreno over Yamanaka.

As it stands the championship can only be filled in a fight involving Moreno. If he fights #2 McDonnell or possibly if he fights a rematch with Yamanaka.

At the end of the day I saw Moreno winning clearly so that is indicated in the rankings.

Very subjective this rating system but I guess that is what makes it good but not necessarily fair.

Why does Yamanaka get punished for a "questionable" win over Moreno while McDonnell gets rewarded for not one but two shameful gift wins over Kameda?

I did not know Hernandez retired, that is a shame he did well beating Cunningham to win the title.

Constant injuries led to that decision. But he'll be back. Word is he is not in best shape financially
