Why is Matthysse not ranked at WW?

[Russian Crushin]

Who was Peterson above 140 for Matty to be ranked after the win though devastating and impressive it was?

Beating a top JWW at WW >>>>beating nobodies at WW

Very true but there is no immediate intent for him to fight at WW, everyone is just clamoring for the fight with Danny.

Rankings mean very little these days. Its all about the $$$$$$$ies!
Paulie has one of the BS Titles how does Broner get a shot he's never fought a contender for that belt!!! Why.....$$$$$$$$$ies!!!! Whose belt is it? Seems like its Paulies...............for now!!!!

The younger fans today would have enjoyed boxing years ago when the mandatory defenses were up held! You knew atleast once a year the Champion of that Federations Belt would fight the top contender after the top 3 to 6 guys fought it out to get to the Champ!
The challenge would be to unify but that could be accomplished with? you guessed it more.............$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ies!!!!! Its a money game!! Ray

For a small sanctioning fee...

Because he isn't in line to fight Mayweather yet. Just watch and see how he would be ranked there if Mayweather is interested in fighting him.

Pretty much this. If your not being put in place to fight some of the bigger names, they won't rank you

Brook, Paulie, Devon, Guerrero, and Thurman have yet beat a top 10 ranked WW tho

Lucas beat a better fighter then any of those guys have, at WW

Great... when is he going to fight them at '47?

Thats not the point at all. He officially had a fight at WW. Whether he plans to pursue it or not, he has a good win at WW

Matthysse dont need to be near the WW division yet. He should be eating, sleeping, ****ting Danny Garcia. The WW divisions not going any where. If he beats Danny hes an instant player in the WW division the minute he moves up. And with Haymon he will be able to get any fight he wants.

Guerrero beat Berto, who is just as good, accomplished as Peterson. To argue Peterson is better or more accomplished than Berto is very subjective. Also Aydin was ranked in the top 5-10 in different ranking organizations, whom Guerrero also beat. Devon beat Bailey whom was ranked in the top 10, after his KO of Mike Jones. Believe me I know bailey isn't really all that, other than being a massive puncher, but he did beat Mike Jones whom was ranked in the top 10 @ the time, than lose to Alexander!

Berto's best win is a loss to Collazo.

Aydin was not a top 10 fighter in any sense of the word. His best win was also a loss to Jojo Dan

Bailey was not a top 10 guy either
