    3) Its about consistency.
    The numbers will continue to claim likely two cards will do better this year. Connor is mma biggest star

      Who would you rank above him at featherweight? Besides Gary Russell Jr.?
      wtf does that mean that he's the WBO champ? Andrade is the wbo champ at 160. saunders is wbo champ at 160,. Ioka is wbo champ at jr bw. None of those guys are 2nd best in their division. This is the problem with having 5 and 6 titles per weight class. Now you're seeing.. You got Navarette ranked higher than Lara, who just beat the hell out of Warrington? You have him ranked higher than Xu Can? Are you serious or just trolling?

        If you want to go by rankings then it doesn't get much higher than being one of the 4 belt holders in a weight class, right?

        From there you just rank the champs amongst themselves. That's the best you can do unless you want to go by TBRB or Ring Magazine or Boxrec rankings.

        lol @Xu Can and Warrington.

        I think Navarrete would put a hurting on every single featherweight and beats them all, with the possible exception of GRJ. But Gary is so damn inactive that I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Vaquero beats his ass down too.

          Are you drunk again? i'm not even sure what you're trying to say?

          If boxing temporarily does better on PPV by selling its soul to ****ing Jake Paul its not much of a victory is it?

            It would be good to see Ngannou face Dillian Whyte.

              actually I don't really go by rankings because I don't think too highly of ryan garcia or warrington either, but Lara did destroy him. And yes I think Navarette beats Warrington too. As far as him really running thru the division, I don't know about that because I think each of the guys can beat each other in that division. I don't see one guy that really dominates everyone at fw. And NO being a belt holder does not automatically make you one of the top in the division in this 6 belt era.

                In boxing or kickboxing maybe. No way should 1-0 in MMA no name Whyte be walking into a UFC title shot though. If it was AJ or Fury it would be different because at least they are the top dogs in their respective sport and also huge names.

                  Inside the UFC, why not? Conor Mcgregor faced Floyd Mayweather with zero boxing fights.

                    Floyd was retired and Conor was a huge star, Whyte is a B tier HW and pretty much a British domestic star like Chisora. The risk/reward of giving him a title shot would not be remotely worth it. It should be champ vs champ ie Ngannou vs AJ or Fury one MMA fight, one boxing match.

                    ...or just keep the two separate because they've all got **** they should be doing in their own sports anyway.

                      I think Ngannou is spooked that Whyte would beat him.

                      It is the biggest fight for Ngannou outside of Jon Jones.
