How does boxrec rank fighters?

[Zack Morris]

Yeah especially if the Alabama boxer loses to the Florida boxer.

Good one. The SEC (Williams) vs. the PAC 10 (Margarito)

I don't think he does because Paul Williams isnt ranked number 1 from 140 to 175 like he would have it.

He does use it a lot. It's much easier to do that, than actually watch the fights you know.

we make fun of boxrec but it's quite useful.

nice to see what they weighed in at , dates of fights , what titles was involved , etc.

sometimes the mind plays tricks on you.

sometimes i forget that it's been almost 6 years that tua has been in a meaningful fight......

The Saul Montana fight was meaningful to me because I paid 25 bucks for that ppv...
Did you?

They basically say it's for amusement only. I mean look at the WBA rankings for super middleweight or the WBC for heavyweight. They are equally bad.
I suspect Johnson is on there because the computer rewards good comp and the comp's record and who they fought as well and Johnson has fought some good ones.
I heard he was making some sort of comeback but I thought he quashed it so I guess they still list him as active. He's actually the cousin of former lightweight champ, Golden Johnson.
They all fought in the ams in TX.

true

i thought i heard something about him making a comeback too

i didnt realise he was related to the great 24 karat Golden Johnson. he is blessed

saul ****ing montana????!!!!???

I think the record archives are solid but they want it both ways but pulling this computer ranking crap. A computer has to be fed variables like fights at that weight, overall body of work, wins-losses etc. but with a human ranking system I believe it's closer to the truth. Their p4p list is the strangest I've seen with JMM above Manny and Wlad at #6???

[lparm]

More boxrec madness at 154 verno phillips #2, but PW at #4??? They updated the records but no updates on the ranks. Maybe their computer is broken.

It's done by computer program. No humans are involved.

Somebody should tell them that their computer has a virus.
