Boxrec is a joke!!!

Exactly, there are plenty of sources for rankings.

 

Not least the experts on ESB.

 

Yeah, why go to any other boxing website than ESB anyway?
Between us Eddy Futch-like knowledgeable posters, we already know everything anyway.

 

Exactly mate. :good

 

boxrec rankings are just as credible as any other bull**** rankings

though they often have some rankings that make you scratch your head, so do all the ABC's

 

I still think the worst rankings are the WBO's. Lockett number one middleweight.:rofl

 

dont they used computerized rankings? cotto can still be put over guys in their top 15. horrible system.

 

Yup computerised rankings are hugely flawed which is why the IBO cannot be taken seriously. Decebal did a really good write up about this once. I'll have a look for it & bump it up.

 

as I've said in the past computerised rankings only work with an organised matchmaking system.

 

How do you mean? Please elaborate.

 

Don't diss the WBO, Dan.

Integrity, honesty and respect.

I think what our friend means is effectively like a tennis draw - i.e. odd numbers of the top 16 in one half, the evens in the other. With this method all you would create is a tournament, and have the champ defending against the No. 15 contender.

Maybe I'm wrong......

How Gary Lockett ever made No. 1 contender is a joke - also Kev Mitchell is No. 2 at super feather. Again, odd.

 

Actually it is Ring rating which show that both Hopkins and Calzaghe were/are the Ring magazine champions at LHW ... boxrec just count them high beause Ring have them as champions in this division. So if you are not taking boxrec seriously then you should first jump on Ring Magazine .... the true champion is Erdei ... untill somebody finally beat him in the rinng!

 

The most laughable thing is that before Cotto lost to Margarito he was only number 16 on their p4p list.

 

I've found it to be a great site to go look at a fighter's (any fighter) record. I didn't even know that had rankings!

 

thats clearly show why he is not even in top 25 now .... maybe they have come coefficient accounting how tall is the boxer ?
