    They have Amir Khan rated at #8 in the world & Brandon Rios rated at #5 in the light welterweight division. LMFAO!

    The pricks don't even have Hayemaker in the top 3. They must be out of their minds.

    :patsch

    It's a mathematical formula that is used. There are NO opinions used in their rankings.

    I don't think boxrec claim to be the official ranking. I think it is computerised and sometimes you see it all over the place.

    Funnily enough, I think if they wanted to then much like The Ring they could stake a claim for credibility in the boxing world by issuing rankings that alot of people would recognise.
