How exactly does Box Rec comprise their pound for pound list?

It is fair and objective....

Can somebody inform me? Don't they do it via some formula or something? Or am I mistaken on that? Here's their current top 10 P4P 1. Canelo 2. Pacquiao 3. GGG 4. Crawford 5. Thurman 6. Fury 7. Kovalev 8. Wlad 9. Frampton 10. Lara And here's 11-20 if anyone is interested 11. Danny Garcia 12. Chocolatito 13. Shawn Porter 14. Cotto 15. Adonis Stevenson 16. Danny Jacobs 17. Kell Brook 18. Tim Bradley 19. Andre Ward 20. Lee Selby Click on the bit where it says 'Read a full explanation of the ratings'. It does just that. It's a tedious explanation of the exact algorithms they use, and to be fair you can tell they've made a spirited effort to get it right, however a PTS based system is never gonna work. Boxrec should only ever be used for reference purposes, although the divisional ratings can give you a very rough and ready estimate of a fighters ability and experience if it's someone you don't know.

How exactly does Box Rec comprise their pound for pound list? Eany meeny miny moe!

no way. Its all for marketing now a days. I remember when Ring really was a true unbiased ranking. DLH and GB did that in. Now its shlt. Boxrec divisional rankings are pretty solid IMO,, they may have the occasional head scratcher but usually pretty solid

No idea. I wonder if we can get Nate Silver to apply some of his voodoo to it?

A "fair and unbiased" formula.

Some horrible formula... It's total crap.. Divisional rankings are usually pretty solid.. ATG ratings are absolutely absurd. Tarver is like a top 50 heavyweight all time You got it!
