Why..... Why is Charles Martin Ranked #2 by the IBF??

When did Hrgovic lose? He just KO'd Molina. Apologies, some kinda brainfart. Cant even figure out who I was actually meaning. EDIT: Effing Kownacki, that's who I was thinking of... D'oh.

Stop tugging ya' meat over the alphabet titles. Become wise, and realise that the only title that matters is the Lineal. The Gypsy King has been reigning now for almost 5 years, everyone else is a pretender. he may not have lost in the ring..but that's because he takes a tough fight and follows it up with low entropy fights to recover. not the hallmark of a true world champion. since when does a king get to say 'yeh im going awol for a bit, might fight some villages in the meantime' don't get me wrong, i know Tyson had a lot of years taken off his career waiting for Haye and Klitschko..but i still feel he couldnt hack it at the top when he got there. Didn't fight the rematch, couldnt handle the media pressure and certainly wasnt going to get stuck in wars vs Whyte and AJ back then. Plus, after he failed for nandrolone, had he been consistent with his story i would have sided with him and said 'he was set up for what he said about jews/zionists' first he said he had high hgh levels naturally and that's why he failed then later, it was the uncastrated boar meat. then the farmer said he was offered money to lie. plus, hughie failed with him too. Then you look at both tyson and hughie, did they experience clasicc androgen receptor burn out from sted use? hughie got the acne, which they said was an infection.. tyson got the depression and weight gain (and no doubt, the gyno). is that a lineal champion? not to mention the gloves controversy. I mean you can all silence it, but it happened before the christian hamer fight too. Certainly something dodgy there. the whole 'they're trying to spike us/set us up' **** was a brilliant smokescreen, a ready made excuse and narrative. it's probably why tyson said controversial things, so he could claim he was 'set up' by ukad/bbboc.

Why? BECAUSE HE WALKS THIS EARTH LIKE A GAWD!

https://www.ibf-usba-boxing.com/index.php/ratings/ibf-ratings?view=rankings Fortunately the IBF rankings let you select by month so it's quite easy to find out who was where when, and actually yes indeed the Kabayel situation is kinda weird and yes I'd say it's a bit odd Martin got elevated over so many better fighters but it could simply be due to the fact that he's actually fought this year and won whereas so many others have been inactive (Usyk) or are coming off a loss (Hrgovic, Ruiz) or a Draw (Hunter). I ain't got the time to dig deeper right now but Kabayel's slide down the rankings is a little odd given he's coming off a win... although TBF he did kinda look pretty goddamn awful against Lazaridis. When did Hrgovic lose? He just KO'd Molina.

I dont understand why you are questioning the gawd.

Presumably the answer is money. From somewhere. For some reason. Maybe Pulev is about to pull out and Martin will be given the shot? I'm sure the machinations will become clear.

Are you really looking to make sense of org rankings? :lol1: especially the IBF. While they are the best at operating in their rules, their rankings are terrible

Martin is ex IBF world title holder, so he has some protection.
