        Yea, it did. I should google for old times sake.

        People forget it's been only about 5 years since the WBO started getting respect.

          Boxing's ranking systems are bad, but moving deceased fighter Darrin Morris up is hard to believe.


          Morris (28-2-1, 18 KOs) eventually appeared at No. 10 in the WBO's rankings nine months after his final bout. He slipped to No. 11 in July, but moved up two spots in August. He was No. 7 at the time of his death, but subsequently was promoted twice more.

          “ We obviously missed the fact that Darrin was dead. It is regrettable. ”
          — WBO prez Francisco Valcarcel

          Maybe it was a posthumous tribute. Or maybe the WBO thought Morris was merely enjoying some time off on the farm he had just bought.

              So you blame Calzaghe for his resume or Warren? Are you trying to say he ducked people like mayweather is perceived to have done? Who do you think at this point has a better "resume" as you refer to it than Calzaghe at this point in Light Heavy Weight? 46-0; yeah he sounds like a bum: Hopkins, Lacy (which he forced to become a bum after crushing him), Jones (past his prime but can still beat 80-90% of the light heavies out there), and Kessler(who could beat almost all the light heavies out there-including Dawson).

              Don't be so biased when commenting!!
              Hopkins is his best win (but he didn't beat him convincingly and many feel hopkins won.

              Jones couldn't beat Tarver or Johnson so what makes you think he can beat 80-90 % of the light heavies? and that was a couple years ago when he lost to tarver. And Glen Johnson knocked out Jones. Jones couldn't even beat his **** right now.

              Lacy- All calzaghe fans try to make it as if Lacy is a ATG or HOF'er. Hell No. he is nowhere close.. That was a good win, Lacy isn't a bum, but he isn't great. He had a title. Many average fighters had titles. Look at that Russian Heavy weight. A 47 yr old Holifield got robbed by him.

              Kessler. Again many try to make him like he is a HOF'er or is top 10 P4P. Everybody wants to fight this guy. Winky, Taylor, Dawson, Johnson, etc. He just doesn't want to get exposed because he will get his ass whooped. Kessler say what Calzaghe's slaps did to him, so he doesn't want to go in the ring with the other because they actually HIT you. He has titles, but that doesn't mean he is great. He has no good WINs on his Resume. FACE IT, he is garbage.

                      Or Reggie Johnson who beat Steve Collins

                      Thulane Malinga who beat Nigel Benn

                      Julio Gonzalez who beat Dariusz Michalchewski

                      And on and on.
