I can not see Walters fight at featherweight again.

You guys may be right, but he seems to think he can make weight. Apparently Walters got too big between fights after stopping Donaire and being named Jamaican Sportsman of the year in '14 it was party time. After the Marriaga fight he was back in the gym after only a week.

Always look up your thread now to find out more about the smaller fighters.

I'm glad you kept Huago Ruiz rated

Selby over Santa Cruz? I guess I can see an argument for it

[walrus]

What's up with Terrence Crawford. He is usually fighting every three months but he seems to quiet lately. Great work on the updates

Thanks @Master I really appreciate it. The goal is to eventually be the standard and an easy reference for the best fighters in the sport.

Selby over Santa Cruz? I guess I can see an argument for it

I must admit it is very close. Selby's win over an undefeated titlist (Gradovich) gave him the edge over Santa Cruz's win over Mares as there were questions as to whether or not Mares was damaged goods going in.

What's up with Terrence Crawford. He is usually fighting every three months but he seems to quiet lately. Great work on the updates

Thanks @walrus Crawford is rated #4 at Super-Lightweight and is fighting on Oct-24 against once beaten Dierry Jean (29-1, 20 KOs). The lone lose came in a game effort against Lamont Peterson in January of last year.

Nice work and consistent effort on these. Do you automatically drop a fighter from top ten after 1 yr inactivity or take into consideration circumstances? Welter is interesting with Maidana hitting the year mark. Garcia for example, I'd have a hard time bumping Guerrero if it wasn't for his shaky performance with Martinez. On one hand he established championship and fought a couple of the top five, having some moments vs both. On the Garcia beat a semi retired Paulie coming off a brutal ko and tip toed in. Great work, just thinking out loud.

Thank @Spicoli I really appreciate it from such an established and respected member of the forum.

A fighter gets dropped if they haven't fought or scheduled a bout within a year at the weight they are rated. Champions get 15 months. I would like to take circumstances into consideration (such as say Postol who had stepped aside, but hadn't fought at 140 in a year) but it fairer to keep it consistent and have everyone held to the same standard.

Maidana will exit at the end of next week, his years inactivity is up on the 13th.

Guerrero was removed after his struggle with Martinez. A fight many though he arguably lost.

Garcia only has the Malignaggi win, if you take out the Peterson fight but he is entering as a former champion at 140. It should also be noted that Broner entered the 147 pound ratings based on his win over Paulie, and Porter also got credit for the win. So Malignaggi and Guerrero could been seen as quite similar in regards to Welterweight action

[Master]

Good round up of boxing news for the week and the website is developing really well. It must be hard work to keep up to date with all the fights and you need passion to carry it on for a lon period of time. I have heard we have 3 posters who kept up something similar but could not sustain it. Good to have you on board and keep posting.

BTW Spicoli is not an established and respected member of the forum, we have Affirmative Action on our case and have to put up with him as we have quota on people we have to have on here who think “outside the box”.

[Lineal]

Thanks @Master your support has fantastic. Haha @Spicoli seems like a nice guy and I often find myself laughing out loud at some of his posts and I tend to agree with a lot that he says. He reminds me of a close friend I have.

As for Welter; if Maidana is removed this weekend my top 2 replacements to enter at tenth are:

Lamont Peterson, based on his debatable loss the Garcia (The fight happened in the 147 pound division) and the fact that Garcia is ranked ninth. I was not sure if Peterson was going to return to 140 but he is now set to face touted prospect Felix Diaz (17-0, 8 KOs) on Oct-17 at Welterweight.

Robert Guerrero, is 4-2 at Welterweight. With wins over Aydin, Berto, a war with Kamegai and the questionable win over Martinez. His 2 loses are to Mayweather and Thurman.

I am leaning towards Peterson based on their recent trajectories.
