    But lots of things can be consistent and be terrible (consistently).
    ok...............

      The point is its not fair and it's not balanced.

      It's terrible and illogical hence why Floyd is considered #1 WW of all time.

      He tried to use it to support his argument when the very same "fair and objective" ranking system (laughable) has Floyd #7 of all time, something he doesn't agree with and is now making excuses for.

      Very easy to follow.

          So Tunney basically caught a ban in his zeal defending Boxrecs fairness and objectivity.

          Said website has Mayweather #7 all time.

                  I'm not saying whether it is correct or defendable, only that it is consistent and fair. How does it treat any boxers differently than any other boxers? What is unfair about an incorrect, but consistent objective scoring? A scoring system can be "terrible" and "illogical" but STILL be "fair" and "consistent".

                  The fact that Floyd is #7 on their p4p atg list or #1 atg WW is absolutely not proof that it is not fair or not consistent. It scores everyone using the same exact methodology. All this proves is that the scoring methodology happened to have Floyd higher than one might anticipate.

                    I like boxrec's division rankings a little bit but pound for pound they always are odd to say the least.

                    But really that can be said of any pound for pound list considering the vast amount of criteria anyone can use.

                      If Mayweathers "top 10-15 in your book" then I'd be curious to know how many fighters "Are in your book"...
