Any thoughts on why the WBOgus does not rate Floyd Mayweather Jr. anywhere? I have contacted them for some clarification, but they have not responded.
Even if you hate the man, can you honestly say he does not deserve to ranked among the top 15 Welterweights in the world?
Exactly. Mention Berto to Tortilla Warrior watch him fold. Hes been fighting 140 Pounders and is ranked.. My theory is that it is in the better financial interest of the WBO not to rank him. Much like Don King controlled WBC rankings for over 25 years, Arum seems to have a lot of sway with the WBO. If the WBO just ignores Mayweather, they never have to mandate Pac to face him as a mandatory defence. This way the sanctioning fees keep rolling in as Arum lines up one Top Rank fighter after another (Margarito, Valero, Khan...). Wouldn't be the first time rankings were controlled or heavily influenced by the promoters.
My other question is this: If Mayweather does not deserve to be ranked anywhere, why was the WBO going to allow Pac to fight him?
I know. I tried to start an intelligent discussion about the credibilty of a boxing organization and their suspect rankings. It is unfortunate that some people cannot see because their eyes are filled with hate. Might as well discuss religion with the Taliban.

Again,
why rank someone, if they haven't fought welterweights in the welterweight division?
Having Floyd ranked as a welter is suspect in itself seeing as how he hasn't fought a welterweight in some years.
Look at the first 2 comments to this thread. Tels you all you need to know. Thes guys say Floyd doesnt deserve to be ranked at WW but would PRISE Pac if he beat Floyd. A guy who ISNT a Top 15 WW in their eyes.
Berto has been fighting 140 Pound fighters and hes ranked. Their argument is flawed. I know.

Why should he get ranked for not fighting welterweights?
I mean, you know what, lets just rate Pacquiao and Mosley at lightweight,
even though they haven't fought there in quite a while,
yea, that makes sense.
Floyd just fought at 147 dumbass.
Against Marquez.
I think this issue is more about the credibility of the WBO as an organization than anybody who feels like hating on Mayweather. He is a returning former weterweight champion whose last fight was at 146 (regardless of his opponent). Last time I checked, that is within the Welterweight division.
So, if you do not rate Mayweather at Welterweight, where do you rate him then?
The WBC and WBA both have him as their #1 contender. Do you not rank him simply because you don't like him?

You can bet your life that if Floyd decided to fight for the WBO title they would rank him real fast. All those parasite organizations count on their percentage from major fights, and any Mayweather fight is major.

His last 3 fights haven't been against welterweights.
Why would anyone sanely rate him at welterweight, if hes not fighting welterweights there?
