    I used to always go off Boxing Monthly.. I think they are the best but lately they have made some huge biased mistakes....they have Anthony Joshua at Number 3 at heavyweight above Klitschko and Povetkin!! Unbelievable!!

    Which site do you think has the best rankings/ratings?

    i still find it strange that there are no official british rankings at all....british titles but no official rankings.

    Very strange. They must have a ranking system that they just don't make public, given that they obviously mandate fights for titles/dictate eliminators etc.

    Boxrec is my favourite for rankings Id say.

    Can't imagine rankings we all agree on, is a subjective sport, but I do like how Boxrec share the formula for their rankings

    I don't agree with them all, but appreciate there is a formula rather than a group of crusty old men coming up with names over a pint of mild, or a group Jordan Belfort types greasing palms and positioning their fighter (how I imagine some of ludicrous rankings happening anyway).

    At least with Boxrec it is a mathematical formula rather than opinion.

    Yeah it throws anomalies, but they aren't too far wrong. You might not agree with the ordering, but there is at least no bias there.
