    Has the fight happened? Maybe the opponent is TBD.

    Aren't boxrec rankings all based on some formula though? It's not a subjective ranking.

    Guillermo Jones being a top ten heavyweight tells you that their rankings should always be taken with a touch of salt...

    Still better than any of the alphabet rankings though.

    ugh well they keep changing their formulas but yeah it's based on a formula. Ranking G. Jones in the top10 of the heavyweights is a joke for sure!

    It may have to do with the "unknown" boxer using an alias and the alias can not be verified...!!! Several older boxers fought under different names...!!!

    It tells you who the boxer was, his manager denied the fight took place though.
