    Boxrec.com have bernard hopkins as their no1 P4P how can they even consider him

    they have JMM at 2nd and paquiao at 5th and as the number 1 light welter

    and looking down the list it gets even stranger
    no 4 Chad dawson
    no 12 wladamir klitchko
    no15 vitali klitchko
    no 17 arthur abraham
    no 19 felix strum
    25 Lucian Bute

    anyone got any idea what their logic is behind these choices

    Never take notice of boxrec rankings. They use some computerised formula for them and it always comes out wrong.

    Boxrec is excellent for schedules and fighter records but there rankings are shite.

    pac should be higher...the reason he's ranked quite low is he seldom fight for a title fight which merit more points

    Padded record of summat like 40-1. KO'd a Japanese champ in his last fight to win a title. Was regarded as a big upset, yet boxrec have him as the 9th best boxer on the planet :lol:.

    I'd never heard of him until his last fight.

    As much as it pains me to admit, I have to agree.
