Comments Thread For: Rhodes in Limbo After WBC's Decision on Alvarez-Hatton

[Russian Crushin]

If I remember correctly Angulo was #1 ranked by the WBC before this whole Pac/Marg WBC vacant catchweight belt thing took place when Angulo beat Alcine to win a title eliminator.

How did he just get jumped in line for all these fighters?

Same way Morales jumped to #1 at 140 while Bradley and Khan arent even top 40

Never seen Rhodes fight, but I've been reading some positive reviews on BoxingScene the last couple of days. I'll check a fight out tomorrow.

watch rhodes v moore dude. ryans imo technically the best fighter from britain currently fighting. he started out early in his career as a loose moving counter puncher (from same gym as naseem hamed), but moved up to m/w and lost a couple, and critics said he had no chin and couldn't cut it at world level. against moore tho, moore was a rough and tough pressure fighter and rhodes beat him at his own game by standing in the pocket with him. he showed he's got pretty much the complete package these days, he was fighting on the inside and outside, showed chin, heart and all his old skills as well to finish moore off. it was a great performance.

its a total joke that wbc have let matthew hatton fight for their 154 title. ridiculous. where was he in their 154 rankings? when did he last fight at that weight? i'm pretty sure he's not even remotely world ranked at 147 which is where he usually fights. rhodes would knock matthew hatton out within 5 rounds, guaranteeed.

Completely agree, he's not even a decent fighter at european level. I find it painfull to watch him fight. Even his last few performances, although he has shown great improvments, he just isn't even close to world level.
