    Crazy how Chad Dawson is not a world champion.

    I mean he is the concensus best fighter in the division, but the only title he holds is the IBO, which...is the IBO!

    I think it's probably the biggest example of Titles meaning nothing, i mean take a look at the WBO 175lb title holder, its good old Juergen Braehmer!!!!

    what a joke!

    Darrelle Revis is a shutdown corner, i dont care what anybody else says. He's held 12+ hall of fame receivers to 30 yards or less. P.S. the IBO's rankings are computerized which makes them a little more legitimate.

      I think Brahmer is getting locked up for 16 months too.

        He'd still be a champ if he manned up and fought Tavoris Cloud who was his mandatory. He could've taken that fight before the Tarver rematch.

            I concur!!!!!!! The only thing a title is good for is ratings and selling the fight, it does nothing for selling the fighter!

              Belt or not, if the fans see you as the best in a division based on fights you have won you are the champ as far as I am concerned......other ppl are walking around with belts that Chad threw away.

                Aren't the IBo rankings based on the ELO system?

                  Darrelle Revis is the truth man, he's a cornerback for the New York Jets. Some of the **** he pulls of is ridiculous. Too bad he's not a titan.

                    I just had no idea what that had to do with the thread.

                    What do you think about Hasegawa vs Montiel?
