Analyzing The Ring’s New 154-LB Rankings: Surprises, Oddities, And A Flawed Top Pick

The Ring’s New Updated Top 10, 154-LB Rankings Are Out A Few Surprises and Oddities. Terence Crawford is # 1 in their rankings, which doesn’t Make Any Sense. He’s Moving Up to 168 to Challenge Canelo Alvarez His Undisputed Super Middleweight Championship. That right there should be an Automatic Loss.

Crawford’s # 1: Why It Fails

WBC Interim Champion Vergil Ortiz Jr. Is now # 2 on The List. That pretty Makes Makes Him # 1 If You Remove Crawford From The Entirely Due to Him Abandoning The 154-LB Division to Chase A Payday.

When A Fighter Moves Up To Financial Reasons For Higher, they Should Stripped of Their Title or rankings. In Crawford’s Case, He hasn’tommitted to returning to the 154-LB Division. That alone Is Reason Enough to Banish Him From The Ring’s Top 10.

Placing Xander Zayas Ahead of Yoenis Tellz is a Weird Call, Considering He’s Nowhere Near Talented As the Cuban Fighter. Tellez would be a Nightmare Zayas. All the Tricks That Xander Used to Defeat Jorge Garcia, Holding Excessively And Moving, WouldN’t Be Effective Against Tellez.

Why Zayas Doesn’t Belong

So, Crawford Needs to Be Off The Last. That should be a good start. Demote Zayas off The List Entirely, Because He’s Not Beating Any Oft Fighters. There are no words to describe how awful xander looked in His Fight Last Saturday Against Jorge Garcia.

Vergil Ortiz Jr. Wouldn’t beat Sebastian Fundora, Bakhram Murtaliev, or a Healthy Israil Madrimov. He Needs To Be Pushed Down The Mid-Point on The List.
