Froch v Kessler only 4 stars on Boxrec!!!!

There ranking of fights is crazy, Bellew/Chilemba is a five star atsch

 

Hang on, this isn't a tv thread.

 

Boxrec is flawed. It's not the gospel on all things boxing. I see it as more of a guide and a source of historical info than anything.

I like the way their rankings don't reward bumhunters in the way the organisations do.

 

This

 

Price vs. Thompson = *****

:yep

 

This has taken away the warm glow I've been feeling since the fight was announced.

 

:nut
Peterson vs Holt too.

 

Yeah, that's certainly less deserving than Kessler vs. Froch II but not quite as egregious an example as Price vs. Thompson, which is maybe two-and-a-half-star material.

 

Certainly true, but it just shows how random those ratings are at BR.

Just as weird as giving Vitali 100+ extra points for not retiring and taking them from his younger brother. :yep

 

Boxrec = The Worlds worst ratings ever!

just laugh at it

 

Yes.

Very esoteric.

I think this is just a mistake. The fight is a Five Star fight according to all their criteria.

5 stars = both opponents have 331 ratings points at least ~ best 100 boxers

Froch
Points - 898
Division Rating - 2
P4P Rating - 9

Kessler
Points - 469
Division Rating - 3
P4P Rating - 46

 

Computers don't make mistakes. :bart

The Y2K non-meltdown proved that.

Of course...
