Comments Thread For: James DeGale: I Want To One Day Be The Pound For Pound Best

[kiaba360]

BoxRec has Canelo at #1 (questionable win Lara)
and Thurman at #5 (best win Guerrero) - Dirrell and Bute better wins than Guerrero
Roman Gonzalez at #18 (ludicrous)
Jezreel Corales at #30 (what ? based off beating a 36 yr old champ?)
Troyanovski at #31 (based off 2 wins over Cuenca who probably had the most padded record of any boxing champ)
Povetkin at #35 (only one loss to P4P top 5 fighter at time)
Glowacki at #38 (beats Huck then durable ex Heavyweight coming down [and that puts him at 38 and Thurman at #5?] )

Totally fucked up. might as well be based on who has the best haircut.
I doubt DeGale is thinking about BoxRec when he speaks about being top P4P-er.

Most people don't use BoxRec for P4P, and I also thought it was interesting that they had him so low when you consider that he's top 3 in his division. It's just that BoxRec is the only site I know that actually tried to rank every single fighter instead of just the top 10, even if their methods/criteria are off.

Degale is a great fighter so you never know...If Degale cleans out the 168 division and then decides to fight GGG (if he moves up) and takes him to school then I have no problem if you'd think he's P4P number 1.

They say the ranking results from some computer app...

Rematch george groves. The man who took your 0. Which will forever be a stain on your career if it remains unavenged.

The computer doesn't count ducks and mismatches. It doesn't care about home town decisions, or interfering refs. Just numbers. Good enough for government work, but not for my money.

Nah.

He's a good fighter, but not a great one

lol what? Uchiyama was a quality fighter, Corrales absolutely deserves to be rated in that territory.

He'll need to fight more Dirrells & Butes and less Rogelio Medinas.

no fault of his, the Venezuelan puncher got injured and this porky fella was the next guy down on the mando list...

After tonight, fight your original mandatory Uzcategui
then take chudinovs belt
beat and take jacks belt = i consider him top 10 p4p

unify move up and beat chickenson for his light heavy title and he's top 5 p4p.
imo.

I hear you, but I hate to see careers wasted on opponents of this calibre when unification bouts could have been put together.
