    WBA, WBC..etc rankings. Do these rankings make any sense?

    Wallin was ranked #4 coming into this fight. How is a man who hasn't fought anyone ranked as number 4 on their ranking?

    WBA top 10

    1. TREVOR BRYAN
    2. OLEKSANDR USYK
    3. ANTHONY JOSHUA
    4. OTTO WALLIN
    5. SERGEY KUZMIN
    6. FILIP HRGOVIC
    7. ADAM KOWNACKI
    8. ALEXANDER POVETKIN
    9. MICHAEL HUNTER
    10.DAVID PRICE

    He won a WBA regional belt in 2017. That's how you get into these rankings. It's all horsesh**t, but that's the process.

      WBA gives their top 5 a belt so they won't be eligible for rankings since they're "champions"

      So actually Wallin would be ranked as 8th or 7th under their normal rankings

        WBC have the best rankings WBO the paper belt has the worst rankings and usually champions

        WBA would be alright if they dropped the super, regular, interim Gold champion bull****

          wbc and wba are the worst most corrupt belts currently. if boxing had any ounce of integrity and humanity people would reject these two belts and never officially recognize them forever.

              Actually the Wbo is the most corrupt,they don't even care if their champions refuse testing.

                  These alphabet rankings have never made sense and they never will. If they made sense all 4 sets of rankings would be close to the same but they never are. A boxer could be the number 1 by one group and not even in the top 15 by the other 3 groups. Ring magazine rankings are not perfect but they are much better and more logical and of course Wallin is not ranked by Ring because he never beat anybody worth a damn. Fury loves these alphabet rankings because he can cherrypick easy guys to beat and still say they were world ranked in the top 10 by at least one of the alphabet groups.
