ABC on Klitschko ratings drop!

Heavyweight Wladimir Klitschko asked the Association of Boxing Commissions to review his lowering in the latest IBF ratings from #3 to #4 behind DaVarryl Williamson, whom he beat by technical decision eight months ago (the #1 and #2 slots are vacant). In a non-binding opinion, ABC President Tim Lueckenhoff wrote, "While Mr. Williamson did participate in two bouts and Mr. Klitschko participated in one bout since October, 2004, it is the opinion of the ABC that the win/loss records of the respective boxers, particularly Mr. Klitschko’s victory over Mr. Williamson, together with the level of competition in which each boxer engaged thereafter, supports a rating of Mr. Klitschko above a rating of Mr. Williamson."
