I had not seen this before, I don't agree with many of the slots but it was interesting in that it was based of a scoring system so at least its not just opinion it has a criteria.
All “greatest of all time” lists — whether they’re about Disney movies or TV series finales — cause a certain amount of controversy. The world would be a boring place if everyone had the same opinion, right? But a recent list of the greatest boxers of all time by record-keeping boxing website BoxRec got a lot of people seriously wound up.
A BoxRec representative explained their point-based system, which rewards each boxer’s annual division performance.
“A boxer can get up to 200 points per year for defeating No. 1 or No. 2 in the division,” Martin Reichert told Bad Left Hook. “Another criteria additionally rewards the boxer’s annual P4P performance. A boxer can get up to another 200 points per year for defeating No. 1 or No. 2 over all divisions.”
Furthermore, Reichert said, “Top wins per year are avenged by losses against lower-rated opponents in the referenced year, the year before and the year after. Top wins are rewarded much higher than medium-scale wins. The points per year are reduced to 1/2 for defeating No. 3, to 1/3 for defeating No. 4, 1/4 for defeating No. 5 etc. So defeating No. 11 earns only a 1/10 of defeating No. 1 or No. 2.”
