not true. why do you think ryder is ranked to begin with? he wasnt before the smith fight and they threw him in there because they knew he won, but at the same time a lot of politics is involved and they arent going to lower smith just because he should have lost. they are having their cake and eating it too
yes that's how I see it, Ryder clearly won and that's why he's top 5, he should be the Lineal champ
You would have to talk to the rankers there have been under the table paid rankings for as long Ive known boxing, Ryder probably greased the path who knows.
what? that seems pretty silly. i think its more likely that they saw the fight and saw ryder won it so they put him in the rankings. why would ryder have to bribe them? i dont get it

They dont rank on maybe decisions, they rank on official decisions.

The current SMW division sucks. I dont see any guys on that list who can beat Canelo. Benavidez cant beat Canelo.
I think the top 6 are pretty good quality fighters.
Cause Ryder did enough to beat Smith when they fought last year, I had Ryder 9-3 winning that fight so did many others

really?? I think Benavidez is all wrong for Canelo

Why is he above BJS?
Saunders has a win over Ryder, albeit at 160 and is a 2 weight world champ
Well if they’re only counting things at 168 then BJS has only has a few fights there I guess. But overall he has a better resume than Plant, Benavidez etc in his career.
Even on the boxrec rankings, BJS has wins over 3 of the current top 15, which is more than can be said for the others, outside of Canelo.

In which case if that was the view , then that ranking should’ve changed a year ago. But he did get the win and the only difference is he just lost to canelo on points.
Smith shouldn’t have gone down really; canelo to top fair enough - but why does Ryder go above smith for example?
