Why is Matthysse not ranked at WW?

[Russian Crushin]

I do get the point of what you're saying and the sad part is that you're starting to sound more like a stan with every post. Canelo had been fighting at '54 before he fought Hatton. And, gee, I don't know, Alvarez doesn't have a gigantic fanbase and boxing is the most genuine, organized, non-corrupt businesses of all sports -- so, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt despite your trolling intention with this thread.

So again, who did Pete or Matthysse beat at welterweight prior to fighting each other?

Who diid Canelo beat prior to hatton? You dont understand my point because you keep saying the same thing. Either get it or stop replying with the same nonsense. Canelo made top 10 beating a WW in Hatton. Get over it already. Before that he fought Baldimor. The point is the fight was at WW, except unlike Canelo-Hatton, it was between the top 2 fighters from 140. Canelo fought 1 guy from 154 before he was ranked there and that was 60th ranked Cuello. And that was at a catchweight

To get ranked as a welterweight you have to beat top welterweights. Beating the 140 champ at a weight of 141 is not the same as beating a top ten welterweight. Lucas has no plans to fight at welterweight anyway. He wants to fight Garcia. His weight is perfect at 140 and he should stay there unless he is offered a Mayweather fight in the future. The WBC had no business ranking Khan at welterweight but then it's the WBC and they don't even follow their own rules. I believe they withdrew Khan's welterweight ranking.

The IBO have also ranked Khan at WW. I think Khan has now fought at WW, like Matthysse, at a catchweight.

You seem to be forgetting that Alvarez had always been campaigning at '54. So again, please enlighten me on the welterweight resumes of Matthysse and Pete before they fought each other. If you can't do that, keep trolling other posters. You've posted great/comical stuff on NSB before which is why I'm completely perplexed at how terrible this thread is.

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

Paulie is a champ at WW
Guerrero beat Berto which was rank at WW
Alexander beat LM
Thurman beat Quintana that it is better than anything LM has beat

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

Money talks. Paulie has a voluntary title fight. So If the offer from Broner was better than any other offer. Why not take it?

Because his penis is much smaller than Danny's therefore Matthysee is not a real man.
