    Im sorry, but Boxrec is horrible.

    Joe Calzaghe number 1 P4P?

    I have to dissagree.

    Manny Pacman deserves number 1 hands down.

    Then have Ricky Hatton (number 9) ahead of Cristian Mijarez?

    Lol ooooh man... That site has got alot of work to do.


    I mean seriously.. Look at that ****.

    Yeah...What else is new?

    Calzaghe is number one because Hopkins was ranked one, Joe beat him. Hence one. Calzaghe is number 1 imo, but their P4P is ****ty as it gets.

      It's based on a computer matrix hence Hatton's 10-2 victory over Lazcano is counted as an overwhelming victory rather than as a disappointing performance.

      It isn't subject to the prejudices of a committee but neither is it open to judgement, hence it is an interesting tool but is a flawed one.

        It's computer rankings, humans don't rank the fighters ob Boxrec so all the subjectivity is out of the equation.
        Boxrec states this. The computer program rewards points based on a computer program and lean higher towards people with ko's with people with good records so it ups their ranking even if they appear to us as washed up or incomplete.

        But humans don't rank the fighters. It's a computer program and not meant to be taken seriously.
        I use boxrec sometimes to check out fighters I don't know much about but it has it limits.

          the boxrec rankings are clearly more accurate than those of every single sanctioning body in every single weight division. so the pointless p4p rankings suck. what a tragedy!

            They are based on a pretty simple points system.
            Thats it to it.

                Ya it's true about the computer part. Computer is what ranks the fighters, and I never took that list seriously ever. I use the site exactly for what it's good for, records. Good background information on every fighter though too(born, stance, trainer, manager, etc.)

                    I think Hopkins was P4P over Mayweather up until the day he lost to Joey Cal on boxrec.
