Haven't we established that boxrec rankings are based on a formula that makes some rankings appear ridiculous? Ruiz at #4 is far from the most absurd ranking. Do some looking.

It's surprising the ratings turn out so well just by crunching a few numbers. I mean, they're not perfect by any means, but they're definitely decent.

Neils, this was to make The Pretender feel good.. I assumed for Ruiz to drop down to like 7-8

Yeah I seen that on some other boxing sites. Its always a mistake to count out Ruiz. History shows he takes a bad loss and turns it into gold with a comeback...did it twice before.

Since he's #4 still you can see why Brewster-Golota winner is a potential fight for him to get a belt again. He's still a top 5 contender.

Ruiz vs Corrie Sanders, now there is a fight

Adamek is fighting for a vacant lt. heavyweight belt and is ranked 27; Felix Sturm is the #13 Middleweight?

He's not ranked by the WBO.

I imagine if he's not WBA champ, though, they'll rank him. How often do the alphabet organizations put out their Top 15? Anyone know?

#4?? come on, this is B.S.

Another thing, how that bs when you look at the records of the HW division fighters today. Ruiz was 5-2-1 for title defenses before Toney. That's still better than the other fighters who too chicken**** to fight anyone out there.
