    SRL would run you out of the ring so fast you wouldn't have time to poop yourself.

    The first rule of boxing is to defend yourself.

    The boxrec one, as noted, is created by an algorithm.

    But to fairly criticize it, I think anyone should list their own 50 or 100.

    Easiest (and laziest) thing in the world is to do nothing, look at something someone else does and say ‘no, I don’t like it.’ Well, do it better. Your own list may not stand up to scrutiny by others.
