WBA heavyweight ranking are stupid!

[Freedom]

1. Luis Ortiz
2. Lucas Browne
3. Wladimir Klitschko
4. Shannon Briggs (who has he beat since Lyakhovich in 2006?)
5. Fres Oquendo (who has he beat in the past decade?)
6. Bryant Jennings
7. Alexander Ustinov
8. Andrey Fedosov
9. Antonio Tarver (banned for positive PED test result)
10. Mark De Mori (tenth best HW in the world? How retarded is that?)
11. Erkan Teper (he's banned for two years, but the WBA still has him in their rankings!)
12. Joseph Parker
13. Anthony Joshua
14. Salomon Haumono (he's not even a top 50 heavyweight!)
15. Kubrat Pulev

Yea thats awful haha, aside from Ortiz and Wlad probably nobody is a top 10 hw at present, maybe Pulev and Jennings. Oquendo did well enough against Chagaev to be ranked I guess CAn't be bothered to look up why Chagaev has the belt anyways, what has he done in years? He and Lucas Browne will be a worse title fight than Martin-Glazkov was, if that's possible.

[Vendettos]

Briggs should be 1

[Britkid]

Briggs should be 1

Yes; because it is well known the WBA is at least two decades behind the times...

[Spicoli]

What's sad is that after the wba 'tournament' sorts out and a couple guys drop, Briggs and Tarver stand to be ranked even higher based on continuing to doing nothing.

I told you this would happen if Vlad got beat, which he did fair play to Tyson.

LUCAS FUCKING BROWNE!!!!!

No 2!!!!!!!!!

Ricky Hatton has been relieved of a load of bribe money to get this fight, stupid sod should have put it in nationwide.

Lucas Browne couldn't box fucking kippers, as we used to say.

People will now start watching genuine contests put on by enterprising TV companies irrespective of sanctioning bodies, who are just corrupt brown envelope merchants.

Lucas fucking Browne!!!!!! WBA title!!!!!! Am going to bed angry.

[Dark Lord Al]

Lucas Browne is a pub bouncer who isn't even fighting for the HW title , for one that belongs to Fury ,and secondly it is some poxy interim 4 times removed crap.

[erics44]

thing is, IMO boxing rankings should not be a matter of opinion

it should be based on a system where you get points for who you fight as in whats their ranking, how you win perhaps, how regular you fight, etc etc

[Master]

Unfortunately it is about picking up more sanctioning fees and receiving back handers from representatives of the fighters that the WBA is interested in.

[Memphis]

Come on now, they ranked a guy 4th best in the world whilst being dead just last year. You're getting bent out of shape over this?


The dead guys ranking was still more legitimate than Briggs.
