How is the Champion the #1 challenger to his own championship?

The Champion is the #1 in the entire divison because he's the champion, obviously.

I've explained this.

[IronDanHamza]

It's really not that difficult.

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.

Since when has the #1 ranked fighter been the "#1 ranked challenger" ?

That's news to me.

The Champion is the #1 fighter in the division I don't even know why this is being discussed. After the Champion it starts from #1-10. It's not difficult.

But to answer TS, Floyd has been his own boss since 2006. That literally means Floyd could fight whomever he wanted from 135 to 154. If he felt like fighting the #1 Lightweight, he'll fight the #1 Lightweight. If he felt like fighting the #1 JWW at WW, that's what he would do.

If Horn is ranked #1 at WW at the end of 2017 and Floyd wants to steal some more money, that's what he'll do. If he feels like fighting a guy that's 0-0, guess what? You get the point.

The Pac and Canelo fights were good fights at the time. Was Pac the same in 2015 that he was in 2009? No.

Should Floyd have fought Cotto, Margarito and Williams between 2008-2009 instead of retiring? Yes.

Horn isn't #1.

You keep bringing up Linares. Why? No one mentioned Floyd fighting a #1 ranked fighter outside of the divison being fought in so unless Floyd moves down to 135 and fights him that example doesn't make sense.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- After Floyd Mayweather Jr. easily outpointed Carlos Baldomir to win the welterweight championship in November 2006, he stood at the podium at the post-fight news conference and broke down in tears as he stunningly announced his retirement from boxing.

Despite the emotional outpouring, few believed Mayweather was serious, rather that he had simply been overcome by the moment.

Less than two months later, Mayweather agreed to face Oscar De La Hoya. In May 2007, Mayweather outpointed him in a fight that shattered all boxing revenue and pay-per-view records. After beating Ricky Hatton in December, plans were in motion for Mayweather-De La Hoya II to take place Sept. 20.

In retiring, Mayweather leaves behind several potential major fights, including one against the winner of next month's welterweight title bout between Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito, both of whom are promoted by Arum.

"If you don't want to take the risk and you don't have to take the risk why would you want to fight a Cotto or a Margarito and subject yourself to risk when you don't have to do that?" said Arum, who has often ripped Mayweather for his reluctance to face either man.

"He just told me he was retiring and I said, 'OK.' He had already made up his mind. He did it his way, not everybody else's way," Ellerbe said




Came out if retirement of old ass De La Hoya
Came out of retirement for JWW Hatton
Came out of retirement for Lightweight Marquez
Came out of retirement for 0-0 Connor McGregor
Saw prime undefeated Miguel Cotto next up and stayed retired for 2 1/2 years

But Bob Arum made Floyd say Cotto lives too far, isn't a PPV star and won't let the sport of boxing retire him. Bob Arum made Floyd say it

[Larry the boss]

See Larry the fact that you put jmm the ghost canelo Ortiz and maidana shows you are a fan boy. Who cares if he was 10 and 0! Only prime fighters in that list were Ortiz and Guerrero and both are sh it

so somehow Hatton and Maidana were not prime...and all the fighters on that list are younger than Mayweather except JMM and Mosley

[Chollo Vista]

Oscar
Hatton
Jmm
Mosley
Ortiz
Cotto
Guerrero
Canelo
Maidana
Pacquiao

Tim Bradley:

Miguel Vasquez
Junior Witter
Edner cherry
Kendell Holt
Nate Campbell
Lamont Peterson
Luis Abregu
Devon Alexander
Joel Cassamayor
Pacquiao
Providnikov
Marquez
Jesse Vargas
Bam Bam Rios

All current/former/eventual champions if I'm not mistaken? Many many prime fighters on that list.

That's 14 champions in 9 years; no retirements.
