WTF? Lucian Bute over Mikkel Kessler?

[The_Bull]

Their ratings are done by some automatic score keeping system, another ****ty one is Bernard Hopkins is #1 Light Heavy while Calzaghe is #2.

You summed up perfectly the strange basis for Kessler's current recognition. He gets far too much credit for losing a fight.

And far too little for having a field day with a guy who knocked Bute the **** out.

[IMDAZED]

Yep, that's a ****ty thing to do, however, BoxRec works in ways that normal human beings don't. BoxRec rankings don't mean too much.

They still have Oscar as the #1 junior middle I believe. It's ridiculous what they do. Usually when they get it right I feel like it's some kind of mistake.

Kessler is the much better fighter, but who has he beat?

Just cause Butes win was controversial, doesnt mean it wasnt 10x better then any win Kessler has gotten recently.

Bute deserves that ranking for now IMO

On the basis of what?

That is one ******ed statement there bro.

[Easy-E]

Boxrec.com has updated it's rankings after last weekend and has put Bute as the #1 SMW over Kessler. How jacked up is that? That fool almost got KO'd by a guy who MK absolutely dominated. I know it's not rankings, but stuff like that is so damn annoying.

Boxrec is not a legitimate boxing website.
It is that simple.

It's ******, but Boxrec rankings are done by machine so they don't count for much

Are you ******? Kessler beat the same guy by 12 round brutalisation.

Thanks for saying that before i had to, lol.

[Chase8400]

********* has Bute as the no.1 as well. I don't know if their rankings is updated.

Thanks for the info , bro. Take er' easy.

****ty cause they actually watched the fight and know who won? just cause the 2 judges got it wrong doesn't mean everyone has to follow.

They also mysteriously moved Mundine up two spots, over Inkin and Taylor. Did I miss a fight or something - why would they move him up if he was inactive?

He must have sucker punched a drunken Sam Solimon in a Sydney pub over the weekend.

LOL, hells yea! That's def. what happened. Good stuff bro!
