    pulev and lucas are higher than rigo, i think that says it all

    brook is on it. the win-loss ratio of his opponents as of when he fought them is 0.2-1 which is the worst in boxing for a world title challenger

      Do you have a nationalistic bias though?

      Keep in mind, a computer has no nationalistic biases.

        Dude boxrec is exactly that a computer, its based on points. nobody is sitting behind a desk ranking these guys. its ok to look at, but i would hardly think of it as a good source.

        last time i checked, nonito was ranked #1 featherweight in the world on boxrec. its pretty god awful, actually

            nobody puts any stock into the boxrec pound for pound list, there's too much human judgment necessary to compile a list that transcends weight classes. And B Hop is wayyyy too high for anyone to take that list seriously.

              How do they have Saul Alvarez as p4p #6 yet have Manny Pacquiao at #12? I think those positions should be reversed.

                Never look at them or consider them at all~

                Their division rankings are alright in that the top guys are usually at the top but the order is often funky but that is just an observation I have had looking at their divisional rankings for years, not that I put any stock in the actual lists.

                  Yes, but keep in mind the BoxRec computer doesn't take into account that Bradley-Pacquiao I was a robbery.

                  It goes by official results.

                    Froch should be lower, but Groves will take care of that problem soon enough.

                    Adonis Stevenson should be lower.

                    Kell Brook and Robert Guerrero shouldn't be on list.

                    Pulev should be lower in rank.

                    Kovalev, Canelo and Leo Santa Cruz should be on list.
