Kessler - When does his MIA status and lack of quality opponents affect his ranking?

[Nameless]

You can't leave a marquee spot to somebody when he is inactive and when other very good boxers are busting their ass off to prove things. No matter how good he is, he has to prove his value. As much as I love Vitali K. for example, he should never e-v-e-r have received something as dubious as champion emeritus when he was off for 3 years, good ranking is not only all about raw talent but also how hard you work to deserve it, how you bust your ass off for the boxing scene and somebody who's doing jack and shi* doesn't deserve such.
