Originally posted by Robbie Barrett View PostNo they don't When talking about the divisional ratings #1 is the highest rated fighter. Everyone uses #1 as the highest rated because as the poster earlier pointed out not every division has a champion.
When there is not champion available, the #1 challenger is the #1 ranked fighter. When a champion is available, the #1 challenger is the #1 Challenger to the championship.
Going off your theory of the Champion being #1, the annual Ring rankings would look like this:
Champion
#2
#3
#4
They don't look like that because the Champion can't be the #1 Challenger to his own championship.
Let's look at how The Ring ranks 2016 Heavyweights, Mr. ******:
Tyson Fury, Champion
1.Wladimir Klitschko
2.Deontay Wilder
3.Kubrat Pulev
4.Luis Ortiz
5.Anthony Joshua
6.Joseph Parker
7.Bermane Stiverne
8.David Haye
9.Andy Ruiz Jr.
10.Dillian Whyte
Going off your ******ed theory, it would look like this:
Tyson Fury, Champion
2.Wladimir Klitschko
3.Deontay Wilder
4.Kubrat Pulev
5.Luis Ortiz
6.Anthony Joshua
7.Joseph Parker
8.Bermane Stiverne
9.David Haye
10.Andy Ruiz Jr.Last edited by Chollo Vista; 07-23-2017, 07:48 PM.

He chose Margarito because at the time it was seen as an easier fight. Cotto was a big favourite to win the Margarito fight.

Originally posted by Lords View PostOf course he was the favorite, he was the undefeated champ, he would have been the favorite vs Mosley in the same way. Margarito was the bigger fight between the two choices. If he fought Mosley everyone would say he ducked Margarito.

Originally posted by Robbie Barrett View PostI don't care what they publish.
If I say the #1 JWW everyone knows i'm talking about Crawford
, they don't think i'm talking about Postol or anyone else.
Crawford is the Champion.
Postol is the #1 challenger to his championship.
A better example for you would've been DeGale is the #1 SMW because DeGale is ranked as the #1 SMW because there's no champion. Do you need more school lessons or do you have it now?

Crawford is The Ring Champion. Don't put your lack of knowledge and assumptions off on anyone else. And if they do say that, point them to me and I'll gladly educate them on their misunderstanding
I'll tell you again.
Crawford is the Champion.
Postol is the #1 challenger to his championship.
