Comments Thread For: BoxingScene Post-Soviet Rankings: Mid-July 2010. Part I

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Ranks are what boxing is all about. They can come in different ways: crowning a single champion in a weight-class, compiling lists of contenders, selecting mandatory challengers for reigning titleholders – each mode has its own set of purposes, methods, pluses and minuses. In any possible way the final goal is (obviously) to determine (subjectively) the best fighter around by sorting a variety of them and (maybe) scheduling some designated contests. I’ll follow the same path here – although I’m too far from staging any fights. And, yeah, if you want to pay this reporter to see one of the match-ups yourself, go forward and I’ll do my best to bring the cream of the crop together. But, please, not forget boxers’ purses as well. Just kidding – you must pay much more to actually make it happen.

Good article.

I think Gennady Golovkin is better than Pirog and Karmazin at middleweight, but Universum held him back from more meaningful fights so his ranking in the article is accurate.

Glazkov has more potential than Dimitrenko, Ibragimov or Bakhtov at heavyweight, but he doesn't have enough fights yet.

Agreed and Chakhkiev is going to be a hell ofa force at CW. Btw what happened with Golovkin and Universum, i thought he was going to be allowed to ditch them?

He has ditched them.

Golovkin is fighting in Mexico two weeks from today for an interim WBA middleweight title.

**** seriously. Good good good. Once he gets that WBA belt hopefully we can see him in some more interesting fight. I have no doubt tht he's built like Shumenov and Jirov in terms of his fighting spirit.

What's behind the idea to put up a "Post Soviet Ratings"? I don't get it.
