    Another example of why the ranking systems don't work.

    What's the point in having a system and fights that affect the nature of those rankings when regardless of what happens, the sanctioning body just does as it pleases anyway?

    Miranda is not the champion, as such, he should have suffered in the rankings due to the loss. If you're going to have this sort of subjectivity included in the situation, why not have video playbacks during fights to determine whether a knockdown was legitimate when questioned?

    Because it would be chaos. And so is this.

    Ridiculousness.

        Exactly. If a fighter loses, his ranking should fall. There are other people waiting for a title fight. People who don't just swing their arms and hope they hit something.

            Soliman sucks but at least he's not dirty.

            I'd rather see Soliman get a shot than Miranda after the disgusting way he performed against Abraham. That was against the principles of the game. if he was so dominant, why foul all the time?

              believe it or not, but even boxing writers have what are called "opinions" just like boxing fans..

              it has nothing to do with bias.... watch the fight

                CHAMPION : Arthur Abraham Australia?

                Lol. Hey bro I hate to break this to you but Arthur Abraham isnt from Australia. You must be confusing him with Vic Darchinyan.
