    Lobbying is higher because they bribe the sanctioning bodies to get their boxers title shots. Don King was the best at it but all promters do it. Frank Warren owned the WBO at one stage.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    It's a testament to the greatness of the sport and its appeal to the fans that we manage to put up with the many awful problems it has. The list of problems would fill several volumes of books. It's too bad, really. But boxing continues to survive regardless. MMA has taken a chunk out of the market, but boxing lives on. I myself have never taken a liking to MMA, and never liked this crossover business. But boxing itself has changed. It suffers from the same maladies other sports do. Social media, gimmick fights, guys wanting shortcuts to the top, etc., etc. But boxing moves on. Imagine how much more popular it'd be if all its problems were fixed.

    top rank fighters are cozy with the wbo as well
    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    Could scratch your head to dust trying to make sense of the alphabet syndicate functions. It's literally payola similar to the music industry back in the day, pay to be played. You cannot have faith in the bodies who talk from both sides of their mouths and refuse to enforce their own orders and functions. Like "hibernation" champions aka Charlo and ordering two guys to fight...who then refuse honest negotiations...but they are allowed to stay in the very top ranks. You have the Ibf that keep floater spots at 1 or/and 2 literally named "not ranked". The wbo is notorious for parachuting fighters into premier slots or title shots at higher weight classes they have never fought in. Oh and the wbc dropped Ngannou from 10 to now 24th after AJ pulverized him. He served his purpose . Hey maybe we are making progress though...at least we don't have the wba ranking deceased fighters anymore like they did in 2015.

    It would definitely be early to post in a thread without even first reading the opening post but seeing who started the thread in conjunction with the title of the thread I will go out on a limb here and say that little ginger or maybe little cinnamon would be among the first mentions that the OP would mention followed by a perhaps some kind of mention of Mexican fighters.

    If I'm really far off I might delete this post, but in any case I will now go and read the opening salvo.

    Edit: oh yes indeed I did quickly come across both the ginger cinnamon mention and to be fair quite a bit farther down in the post he mentioned about Mexican boxers getting a boost😆 but it was a great thread and the OP did elucidate quite a few things that are wrong with the great sport and how ironically the greatness of the sport has sort of fostered it.

    Actually bro... as strange as it may sound... my inspiration for the thread was actually the Adrien Broner thread and reading about his current rankings... coupled with the whole Francis Ngannou saga.

    But yeah... you know me well enough that I'm not gonna pass up an opportunity to dump on my "favorite" redhead.

    You know at the beginning I thought that he was going for all time great status even though I was not quite sold on him but over the past couple of years it has become painfully clear that he will never make that kind of category and he has become such a coddled little shit.

    Adrian broner? What a piece of work this guy has always been. From the very beginning with all his channeling of Floyd Mayweather I just could never stand this person. Remember when he beat up a customer outside of a circle k convenience store in Albuquerque New Mexico a few years back? What an absolute loser.

    A professional boxer throwing a combination to the Head of a shopper. Yeah what great judgment and character.
