    They must have 100 percent faith in Manny Pacquiao beating Ricky Hatton.

      Makes sense to me since he's pound for pound #1. Let's see if they are right.

        Tempting fate a little.they should at least let him fight at the weight first before ranking him.

          Boxrec only include a fighter at one weight, and that's currently light welterweight for Paquiao presumably because that's where his next fight is. I see your point, but it would be pretty silly not to have the active p4p #1 ranked somewhere! Self solving problem in any event, the winner of Pacquiao v. Hatton gets instant 140lbs #1 ranking, Ring belt and total division ownage anyway.

              The only thing boxrec is good at is looking at the fighter's record. That's it. Their ratings sucks.

                He should be ranked as a lightweight still.

                  I agree... I sometimes agree with some of there rankings but not too often, you are right though it is a great website to find out any fighters record!
