Boxrec gonna boxrec... but seriously, they aren't to be taken very serious. Well, any more serious that any other mythical P4P list that everyone has varying criteria and conditions on
BoxRec is computer driven. The fact that Callum Smith, with his one relatively insignificant fight at 175, being ranked as the number one light heavyweight ahead of Beterbiev, Bivol and Smith is another example of their flawed system.
Callum Mundane Smith is top light HW according to boxrec despite only having fought once at that weight. Above Bebertiev and Bivol. Lol.
You never know, maybe by the end of the year this may be a reality. Move over Canelo, there's a new sheriff in town, and he is 40 years old.
canelo is p4p #1 the rest don't really matter and can be switched around according to personal taste and bias
Undefeated in 44 fights, a brace of wins over the current P4P #1, and even though he's shot to bits he still sits atop of the throne of one of the sports deepest and most prestigious divisions historically speaking at 40 years of age and is only the second fighter in history to unify over the age of 40 and in addition to that he's still one of the sport's most iron-chinned savage punching KO artist road warriors with only 4 of his last 31 or so fights going the distance. I can see their POV to be fair.
