Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao To Fill Vacant TBRB 147 Lb. Throne

The Transnational Boxing Ratings Board can suck my ass.

I don't care about these bs indie ranking groups anymore than the abc ranking groups.

Also if anyone from the Transnational Boxing Ratings Board is here, thats a horrible name.

Hmmm i thought this mess was sorted out with Pac-algieri, chris being "a young hungry lion" i assumed we were watching the top 2 guys..

What's dumb about this whole thing is that Mayweather have already proven to be lineal champion. He was lineal when he retired back in 2008, and fought much better welterweight competition than Pacquiao in the last 5 years, winning unifications in two weight classes as well as the lineal title north of the weight class. All this is.. is just a waste of time and robbing claim that a person that always been lineal champion had since day 1. Pacquiao fought nothing but light welters that moved up in the past 3 years. Floyd was moving up and or fighting bigger men, as well as HIGHLY RANKED Fighters. Nobody below the top 3.

This is ridiculous to me.

The best fighter in the world, is regarded as such because he is clearly the best fighter at 147 and 154.

There is nothing to discuss here, until May 3rd.

Having 478 boxing writers assembled to give their opinion on something would be like being judged by a jury of your peers..... I cannot imagine much worse.

Mayweather does not rate well at popularity contests.

Luckily, that fight will take place in the ring.

"neither Mayweather nor Pacquiao have a claim because they haven't faced each other".

That seems to be rather spurious logic. Since Cotto and Glovkin haven't faced each other, then how were they able to name Cotto the champion? The same question could be for light heavyweight, where they have Adonis over Kovalev, who have not faced each other either.

It is rubbish.

I cannot figure out how that logic could have been justified.

Simply flawed logic.

I agree. Its just idiotic and waste of time when looking at the evidence.
