Give Nganoo a participation belt and wait until he wins a fight. Mauricio sees dollar signs.

I'd like him against some of the so called top contenders. Like hrgovic or even Sanchez. Let's see how he fares!

You want him to fight a top 5-10 heavyweight?

This is the first time I've heard of someone entering the world rankings on a loss

[Boxviewer]

Sulaiman's most corrupt individual in boxing today. How can you rank a debutant, win of loss? I am a big fan of Francis Ngannou but this is beyond ridiculous.

Yes he is.

record, activity, level of opposition and other matters including activity in amateur boxing, Olympic boxing or any other contact sport,"

Unless he’s cherry picking only his belt holders, fairly certain he didn’t rate McGregor or Silva, two top MMA guys. And Silva BEAT Chavez Jr,

Where was Chavez Jr ranked though when silva beat him?

Ngannou was what 1 or 2 round away from becoming the WBC heavyweight and "lineal" heavyweight champion.

Rankings are all esoteric **** but winning 40% of the rounds against the champion,dropping him and taking zero damage is enough to put you in the bottom end of the top 10 for me, especially if it's a weak top 10.
