Have you guys seen does Ranks. They are ridiculous. They have Hope over Benitez as a SWW. They have Winky a top 10 Middleweight. They have Jose Napoles as the best WW of alltime an this goes on an on. And now they just went overboard with this. They just put Pacquiao as the #1 WW, over Margarito and Cotto. Box Rec is a joke when it comes to rankings!!!!!

My god, can we get some kind of fkn message stickied at the top of the boards or something?
BOXREC RANKINGS SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. THEY ARE DEVELOPED BY A FLAWED STATISTICAL SYSTEM AND PROVIDE NO REASONABLE INDICATION AS TO HOW FIGHTERS SHOULD BE RANKED.
Something like that would be good. -
This is from boxrec itself. :")
The "Active" ratings include only boxers who have had a bout within the past 365 days, or have a bout scheduled. (After a year of not fighting, a boxer is automatically designated "inactive" by the BoxRec computer. A boxer is also designated "inactive" or "complete" if s/he has announced his/her retirement, even if that boxer may have had a bout within the past 365 days.) Every active boxer in the database is rated--even those with an 0-1 record. The "All-Time" ratings include both "active" and "inactive" (retired) boxers.
The "Active" and "All-Time" ratings are wholly dependent upon the bouts contained in the BoxRec server database. The BoxRec computer re-calculates the ratings at approximately 9:35 GMT every day. As the computer refreshes its calculations, a boxer may earn or lose ratings points with every bout he has fought since the last calculation--provided, of course, that a BoxRec Editor has entered that bout into the database before the recalculation. A boxer may also earn or lose points if bouts are added to any of his opponents' records, or to their opponents' records--even if the boxer himself has not had a fight since the last BoxRec computer calculation. The ratings are not influenced by BoxRec's subjective views or by anyone else's opinions.Comment
