    Well, algorithms don't always work. Just ask any trader.

    I still find boxrecs ranking more credible than any of the actual sanctioning bodies

    Saul Alvarez is the best mexican boxer ever in history. He has exceptional power, speed, ring generalship, iq and courage. He truly deserves to be p4p #1.

    Pretty much drives the nail home that its rankings aren't really based in qualitative reasoning.

    They aren't based on qualitative reasoning AT ALL. That's the point of Boxrec

    Its 100% a computer algo

    Which is common knowledge but somehow people still manage to be agog when things like this crop up.

    IB, how'd you score the fight going to 6?

    4-1 Khan?

    3-2 Khan?
