Stop tugging ya' meat over the alphabet titles. Become wise, and realise that the only title that matters is the Lineal. The Gypsy King has been reigning now for almost 5 years, everyone else is a pretender.
he may not have lost in the ring..but that's because he takes a tough fight and follows it up with low entropy fights to recover.
not the hallmark of a true world champion.
since when does a king get to say 'yeh im going awol for a bit, might fight some villages in the meantime'
don't get me wrong, i know Tyson had a lot of years taken off his career waiting for Haye and Klitschko..but i still feel he couldnt hack it at the top when he got there. Didn't fight the rematch, couldnt handle the media pressure and certainly wasnt going to get stuck in wars vs Whyte and AJ back then.
Plus, after he failed for nandrolone, had he been consistent with his story i would have sided with him and said 'he was set up for what he said about ***s/zionists'
first he said he had high hgh levels naturally and that's why he failed
then later, it was the uncastrated boar meat.
then the farmer said he was offered money to lie.
plus, hughie failed with him too.
Then you look at both tyson and hughie, did they experience clasicc androgen receptor burn out from sted use?
hughie got the acne, which they said was an infection..
tyson got the depression and weight gain (and no doubt, the gyno).
is that a lineal champion?
not to mention the gloves controversy. I mean you can all silence it, but it happened before the christian hamer fight too. Certainly something dodgy there. the whole 'they're trying to spike us/set us up' **** was a brilliant smokescreen, a ready made excuse and narrative.
it's probably why tyson said controversial things, so he could claim he was 'set up' by ukad/bbboc.
It’s just the circumstances over there since , there’s several guys who haven’t had significant wins or haven’t fought in awhile like Parker and Ruiz , Usyk and Schwartz isn’t a stellar name at all and Hrgovic has also been inactive with no real resume just yet . Hunter should have lost to Povetkin but a draw isn’t a win either .
In the end Martin is a former IBF champion and probably got rewarded against a known face knocking out Washington and being in crazy fights like Kownacki and Corbin .
I think the Kabayel drop is more interesting than the Martin rise because I asked the first time this guy got top ranking why he got top ranking and never got a decent answer.
Glaz had a some wins but Martin was top ranked with his best win being Damon McCreary, after Wilder. During his losing streak. Not sure why he was ranked, not sure why he's even the guy in the ring when Glaz is ****ing his own knee, but he was so **** it. Also, I like Martin so double **** it.
Kayabel was listed 4th until Feb this year his last two fights are July this year and March last year.
Feb 2020 he drops to 12
March bumps him to 11
July bumps him to 9
During the interim he went from EBU to WBA Con. Maybe they dropped him while the EBU was vacant and bumped him for winning the WBA Con belt?
Pretty sure an EBU title forces the an automatic top ten rank in the WBC, but, I have no clue what it means to the IBF. Maybe it's similar. He was top ten because he had the right auto-ranking title, dropped below top ten because he no longer officially held it, then grabbed up another auto ranker(? Dunno if the con gets you rank) to go back into top ten?
Disconnected from their site. I don't know how to navigate to it because I got the link from google and no where on their site do I see any links for past ratings
Anyway, June 2019 Kabayel is ranked 9 by the WBC
Currently he's 15
I think, dunno for sure, don't have time to do a proper investigation. Think it's in the unterbelts.
