SugarJ's World Boxing Rankings

[TitoFan]

I love your rankings..... tremendous job.
But man, I cringe seeing Andre Ward's name up there.

Thank you very much. The support from you guys has been awesome.

The Ward thing has been the biggest talking point since I started publishing my ratings. For me he defeated the Champion under the weight limit. If Dawson had have won I would have awarded him both Championships as well because the fight took place within the weight limits of both divisions.

I read he just relinquished his SMW belt (about time!), and will now concentrate on 175. Personally, I hope he just goes away. He's lost any good faith with me, being so crassly inactive over the last few years. I don't see how he's even relevant in boxing at this point. His wanting to fight someone like Rohan Murdock (??) on the Cotto-Canelo card (and betting rebuffed by the NSAC) doesn't help his case, either.

I'm not disagreeing with you but many see him as a tough fight for anyone around the weight. I was kind of wishing he was looking to make up for lost time but it doesn't seem that way.

SUPER-LIGHTWEIGHT:

Previous number eight Jessie Vargas (26-1, 9 KOs) exits due to inactivity at this weight. Antonio Orozco (23-0, 15 KOs) and Humberto Soto (65-9-2, 35 KOs) advance a position each to eighth and ninth respectively. Eduard Troyanovsky (23-0, 20 KOs) enters at tenth.

SUPER-FEATHERWEIGHT:
