    sorry if this has been covered but how the hell do those rankings work?

    Hopkins shouldn't even be on the P4P list yet he is, and he isn't number 1 at 175.

    others include

    Mayweather being number 1 P4P with Pacquiao number 2, that also includes at 147.

    Dirrell number 2 at 168 - wtf? with Kessler at number 4 :huh

    Guerreo & Soto ranked 2 & 3 at 135 with Katsidis at 4!!

    Lopez at number 1 at 126 when clearly John has been the main champion for years

    the only one's that appear to be in any sort of decent order is Heavyweight, Cruiserweight and Light Welterweight.

    because Boxrec rankings are ****. for good rankings click link below, pretty much every point you have made is done there.

    The only thing they have got right is Kell Brook's ranking.

    its crazy isnt it. he will go ahead of Berto if he stops Jennings. to be fair though 147lbs has no depth.

    where do u think brook will be worldwide if he stops jenning and looks impresive, i would say top 15.

    Yeah, probably borderline top 15. It's comical that he is currently ranked ahead of a 'world' champion :lol:

    Your avatar will end up getting me sacked if I keep looking at these boards in work.

    Brilliant though.
