    Excluding the P4P list, which is another topic entirely, there are a few crazy rankings on BoxRec at the moment. Some personal highlights I've come across today.

    Okolie 5th at HW.
    Eubank Jr 2nd at 160 - Has one win against a top 30 fighter, who also knocked him out, and is 1-1 against, and in his last fight, ended up in a 12 round bar fight with a C-grade 147 fighter.
    Ennis at #1 at 154 - one win against a C-grade Euro-level fighter, which has catapulted him beyond Fundora, Bakhram, Madrimov, and Ortiz.

    Gassiev at #8 and Hunter at #10 HW is crazy. Based on wins from a decade or so ago.

    The boxrec formula gives far too much weight to old wins.

    BoxRec can be really good, but it can have some absolutely shocking rankings as @TNSNO1878 and @ipitythefool pointed out - in the HWs: Okolie in 5th, Gassiev at 8th and Hunter at 10th. Unbelievable really.

    BoxRec somehow have Usyk at 14th for the P4P rankings, with the likes of Gervonta, Teofimo and Haney above Usyk...

    We all already know the issues with Boxrec. Hell the actual champion of the division (Fundora) is ranked # 5................that in itself is questionable.

    Boxrec has always been a decent site to look at records (their in recent years abolishment of wba title wins and defenses drives me crazy, but then again, so does the wba itself) but it's rankings have always been and probably will always be not the best or relevant to the real world

    I was going to say Fury at number 2 in the Heavyweight rankings, but just checked and he has dropped to number 7, which is still too high as he is retired.
