he is closing back in on it. The back to back losses he had dropped him in the rankings. But now he has won 4 in a row.

[Romdawg88]

I'm willing to bet that the current champs are praying he doesn't make his way back or better yet retires that man is just a monster.

He was unbeatable at WW, he is just a tad bit more human at MW. He seems to have lots of problems with Frank Craig (MDW, Draw and KO'd in 1), and the Papke fight was one of my all-time best fights with both fighters down twice before Ryan didn't get up in the 11th. Under the old ranking system he dropped quite a bit due to 3-2 in his last 5. Papke is currently #1 but Craig has fell out of the picture when he lost 3 straight.
