    By weight class there really good but there p4p list is very inaccurate

    Rigo is 21.
    Sam Soliman is 18.


    Does that make sense?

    But due to fighters ratings going down progressively as the move up in weight and up as the move down in weight points at the higher weights become disproportionately high, this makes there p4p very in accurate

    But by weight class there very good

    Do you understand?

    Boxrec does not factor in weight at all. The rankings are calculated with a formula that ignores weight. So what you're saying is just flatly wrong.

    Rigo is 21 because he has very few fights and only one good win (Donaire).

    quality over quantity?

    OK, using a different ranking system the Transnational boxing rankings, 4 of the top 10 are American, that's 40%. That's even better than the 32% on Boxrec.

    You're getting crushed.

    Roman Gonzalez? His no where to be seen in that list but is top ten on most peoples lists

    Fighters move up in weight and guess what they bring there points with them that's why lower weights aren't properly represented on the boxrec p4p list

    Reason why donaire is now above rigo again is because he went up to featherweight and had a good win where guys have more points but aren't necessarily better

    Individually they're probably about as strong as nearly any other country in those weight divisions.

    In 2 weeks they could easily have another titlist at MW and SMW in Jacobs and Dirrell.

    Cruiserweight is probably the only division where they are legitimately weak.
