How does Boxrec put Dirrel above Froch?

Yeah I would.

Dirrell gasses.

 

Dirrells chin is a serious question mark. Took some good shots against AA, but he loves throwing himself to the ground when the going gets tough; He has the aura of a vulnerable fighter.

 

You're best off just making your own rankings, everything is flawed in one way or another. Personally, I feel he is in the top 3 at 168

 

boxrec is bollocks, shane mosley is nowhere to be seen in the welterweight rankings and abraham was no.9 p4p before he lost, now he's also nowhere to be seen, also bhop p4p no.2?

 

He was 1st until the Pac vs Clottey fight :yep

 

Shane Mosley isn't in the welterweight rankings because Boxrec only rank active fighters and consider anyone who hasn't fought for 12 months to be inactive. Perfectly justifiable imo and I use the same criteria in my personal rankings.

 

a bit disrespectful to be honest towards the fighter if he hasnt announced his retirement

 

Humberto Soto is also above Joan Guzman on boxrec.

 

How is it disrespectful? You have to have some form of cut off if you're considering 'active' fighters, there's is 12 months. Perfectly reasonable.

 

so if mosley wins will he be put back straight into top 5? the whole thing seems a bit irish to me

 

I would imagine he would be ranked in the top five at welterweight win or lose.
