Yeah they are horrible. How Bernard is that high is beyond me. Also, Joe C should not be ahead of Manny. Personally I would have it like Manny, Pavlik then maybe Joe. But Cotto probably goes up to 2 maybe if he beats Margarito.

Hatton over Cotto?!? WTF?!?!

**BraveheartNYC** · 06-16-2008, 07:47 PM

My Top five is... (1)Manny Pacquiao super featherweight, (2) Kelly Pavlik middleweight, (3)Joe Calzaghe light heavyweight (Joe should dropped behind Pavlik for skipping him to fight R.R.J.), (4) Israel Vazquez super bantamweight and (5) Wladimir Klitschko heavyweight.

Boxrec's rankings are based on a computer matrix. It takes into account wins, losses, stoppages and the records of each fighters' opponents. It's flawed because there are things to bear in mind that are not reflected in simple numbers (Such as fighter A gets the **** knocked out of him for ten rounds but lands a lucky punch and wins over fighter B or maybe Fighter C gets a decision that he really didn't deserve over fighter D). Having said that all p4p rankings are flawed, for example a guy who dislikes non-American fighter is unlikely to rank many non-American fighters highly while a guy who hates flashy defensive boxers and really likes full-steam-ahead knockout artists is going to have this bias reflected in his p4p lists.

So there you have it.
