2 thoughts on “Middleweight Rankings & Champions

    • Umm…GGG officially retired last year, with each of the sanctioning bodies(excepting WBO) in which he held a title at one time making an official press release, honoring him and the occasion.
      Jermall Charlo, it could be said, has many “in the business” more than a little skeptical whether or not his personal problems of the last two years are behind him.
      If he fights again and beatsa quality opponent, within 6 months, you can expect him to be ranked again(likely top 5) at that time.
