How does Boxrec put Dirrel above Froch?

Doesn't make sense to me, Abraham didn't even hold a title for him to win.

 

boxrec rankings are bull**** and done on some sort of point system. wudnt read to much into it

 

lol where is ward ...4th ?

 

Amen to that brother. I like boxrec for checkin on fight dates etc but its rankin systems whack

 

very useful:good

 

:good very sarcastic and hypocritical

 

Pretty much answered your own question there.

 

Trying to rank boxers is like trying to staple diarrhea to the wall.

Boxrec makes as good a bash at it as anyone. As the above poster said beating Abraham gets you A LOT of points. That's fair enough IMO. If Froch beats Kessler he'll probably take over the top spot.

 

not at all pal

 

Because he beat Abraham, who was ranked 1 by boxrec for whatever reason. Also the Froch fight was a SD so Froch because he was the favourite lost points and Dirrell gained points.

 

There is no hindsight coefficent in their equations.

 

What Dirrell does after the Froch fight has no impact on Froch's ratings. Froch actually lost a few pts beating Dirrell on a SD because Dirrell had done fairly little as a pro up to then.
You can see how a boxers boxrec points evolved by going to a boxers record and clicking on "ratings on" in the bar just under "bouts" btw.

 

ignore boxrec rankings.

 

If you're trying to work out who the best is then ignore ANY rankings, they're all flawed.
