How do boxing rankings get determined?

[Kirkland Laing]

I forgot to mention this before. Recebtly Gary Shaw was caught outright bribing some sanctioning body, I think the IBF, to get one of his fighters rated. It came out in evidence in some court case I think and it was just accepted as standard procedure. Anybody remember this, it was recent, and if you do do you have a linky?

Have a look at this thread, one that came after this one. http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfor...ht-141lbs.html

Its anarchy by proxy with a clever blindfold. A corruption that is so systemic that fighters use a pound of weight to circumvent it and not lose the ranking they worked for.

What's even funnier about that whole farce is that this is supposed to be an eliminator to fight Garcia, which is then an eliminator to fight Khan. A guy they've already beat!
