Rod Salka is in the Top 15 WBC Rankings for lightweight.

when you see stuff like this it makes Haymon's deemphasizing the sanctioning body belts perfectly understandable.

Sure, as long as he emphasises and/or recognises consensus champions even if they don't fight under the PBC banner. That would work perfectly fine, and its a good move.

If Haymon makes some sort of PBC world championship alongside current sanctioning bodies, what a shame. I'm sure youll share that sentiment also

[techliam]

... Where Salka is actually ranked at #15 -- as the initial post here reads...
... then what's new?

Huh?

The WBC updates their website ratings pretty frequently, quicker to go there. I've just seen rankings on other sites that are wrong or out of date

Yes. I don't give a **** who is the PBC ww champ. I'd treat it as nothing more than a regional wrestling "world title" from back in the day.

If he were to make fights say on the transitional boxing board rankings, I'd have no problem with that. But he needs to be able to work with ARum.

IMO the next logical fight for Thurman is Bradley to establish who would be next in line for a shot at the lineal title against the Floyd/Manny winner.

That's a great matchup, I would love to see that happen...

Agreed.... if those fights are made the way the transnational guys have their rankings I dont see a problem with that.... I still dont like tho that garcia-pederson is 143 smh

Danny's glory comes from what he did to Lucas, Khan and Clemmy Morales.


Salka was an exhibition match for the kids abandoned at the border. Danny has a heart of gold. #GiveBack.

If I had my way this would happen, the winner of the brook/khan fight would fight the loser of the Floyd/many fight then those winners would fight.

The weight is a non issue for me, especially since Haymon isn't focusing on the sanctioning body belts. That said, the lineal 140 title should be on the line.

This IMO is Garcia's last fight as the 140lb titlist win or lose. He moves up then SHowtime has Broner fight for the vacant title against someone-hopefully the winner of Provo/Matts.
