    Are the boxing writers on ESPN all on crack

    Somehow the clowns over there on the sports tv released a list of the best fighters at each weight and at 140 they put Jackie Catterall at #1 above the true undisputed king JT and top fighters like Prog and Ramirez. What drugs are they on lads

    Wasn't it widely believed that Catterall got robbed by the judges in the JT fight, and one of the judges got demoted? Why is it a surprise then that he's rated above Taylor?

      You started topic about fake undisputed champions and here you say Taylor is "true undisputed king"

      Catterall got robbed and Taylor has only 1 belt anymore.

        Catterall beat the clear #1 man in the division and got robbed, so i don't have a problem with it tbh.

          Whatever your opinion is officially he lost and 50 years from now if anyone cares to look the record will still show JT won the fight. If close fights were decided by the fans Floyd would have something like 3 losses now

            Robberies should be called out, not just accepted.

              Well unless your name is Jeff Fenech don’t ever count on a bad decision going your way after it’s done. JT officially won its in the books but it was close which is why he is giving Jackie a rematch. If the alphabet boys hadn’t played their games and let him fight his top contender again then he would still have all the belts.

                You have to pick a lane though. Either you go with official verdicts, including the alphabet boys, or you don't.

                If one whines about belts and decisions at least they're consistent in not caring about official outcomes. One who whines about belts but accepts official wins and losses is just picking and choosing when to acknowledge official outcomes as it suits them.

                  ESPN isn't a historical records keeper - they're writers creating lists that reflect their opinion. Their opinion, which the majority of observers agreed with, was that Caterall beat the #1 man.

                  So they think he's the #1 man. And that's what they wrote.

                    Did you also think Sports Illustrated was on crack when they refused to rank Chavez over Whitaker back in 1993?
