The heavy weight rankings listed in boxrec today are as follows: Can you make sense of them. I think this proves it is impossible to statistically rank boxers in an automated way, and rankings are a purely subjective matter. 1. W Klitschko 2. V Klitschko 3. Chagaev 4. Haye 5. Thompson 6. Peter 7. Skelton 8. Gomez 9. Ruiz 10. Ibragimov 11. Makzaev 12. Brewster 13. Povetkin 14. Valuev 16. Rahman 20. Arreola 33. Holyfield 41. Toney
Well Pac is LWW champ but has never fought there, I dunno how its done either. We know its a computer, but it must be ******ed or have 450 trojans.
These boxrec threads appear now and then. My advice is this: IGNORE BOXREC RANKINGS. Great site, but not for rankings.
The top 10 looks terrible, the fact that a guy who just had one win over a C+ Heavyweight in Barrett, is ranked 4, just goes to show how flawed there system of ranking is.
boxrec distiguishes between a MD and UD and considers the "home field advantage". So if you only manage a MD at home against an opponent who is not ranked you can drop some places.
